Humpback whales can be seen breaching and splashing off Maui’s shores from November through May, but experienced whalewatchers agree that the month of February brings the peak of the action. It’s the time when the largest numbers of whales are found in Maui’s clear, warm nearshore waters, mating, giving birth and nurturing their newborn calves.
