Nothing is exhilarating as watching whales break out of the water's surface in a windy day out in the open sea. The water feels cool, the sun is beating down, and the whales break out in some sort of marine exhibition.
Enter whale-watching, a well-known tourist attraction in the regions of Maui, Hawaii. The whales converge around this tropical isle, thus becoming an important spot for whale-watchers everywhere. Whale-watching usually happens around the cold months, when the waters up north are inhospitable and the tropical region is alive and full of young shrimp and krill. Watchers board a special vessel assigned for watching and venture out into the sea where they are sure the whales are. Sightings then follow, making the crowd gasp and wonder at how gentle the whales are in a closer vantage point. Of course, because of this, the state is very adamant with the protection and conservation of these migratory creatures.
Whale watching requires you to at least join with a group for convenience and security, for the whales. There is a ruling that no one should be near or at least attempt to near a whale or a dolphin within 100 feet. This is to ensure that the mammals' migratory routes and behavior aren't affected by human intervention. The whales move here to the warmer waters for food, for mating and for behavioral patterns. That is why it is important for humans not to interfere with their normal routes that had lasted ever since prehistoric times.
Dolphins also share the same warm blood with other mammals. Unlike their counterparts however, dolphins are very friendly and can interact and deal well with humans. It has been said that dolphins had helped our ancestors cross the oceans once, this friendly behavior, however is still a mystery.
Starting every October, around 6000 humpback whales migrate to Hawaii. The watching seasons begins around early November. Season extends up till March, where by mid-May; all the whales would have migrated once more. Humpbacks and dolphins are the mainstay, but false killer whales, and pilot whales had been viewed so far.
