We were "mugged" by a few Humpbacks while in Maui last week ... I got some really cool video as one of them decided to show off right underneath our Zodiak on a 2 hr whale-watching tour ... BEST EXPERIENCE EVER ... if you have a choice definitely go on the Zodiak over the bigger boats .. NOTHING comes close to this ... we had whales playing around us for the ENTIRE 2 hrs !

Amazing! Definitely high on my bucket list, for sure.

 

I would totally need a bottle of gravel for that. I get sick just being a passenger in a car.

 

Hope the rest of the trip went well

Cool :thumbsup_anim: Whale watching is on my bucket list as well...but I plan on doing mine in Nova Scotia. I don't know if they have Zodiac options out there but I will definitely keep that in mind when we start planning the details.

 

Thx for the report.

Amazing video Jon, thanks for showing them.

 

My wife and some of her girlfriends are leaving in a couple weeks for a 2 week cruise to Hawaii and I sure hope she gets to see something like that.

Use to love sitting in the sonar room and listening to them communicate. VERY VERY HUMBLING!!!!

 

We are not alone!!!!!

Thanks folks ... Lew, they should be around for another few weeks at least ... Between Maui and Lanai was AMAZING (about 25 miles from the big island of Hawaii... definitely a lifetime experience.

 

I didnt post these because we didnt actually catch em .. but for your viewing pleasure here's a link with some nice fish we saw come in ... and managed to steal a photo-opp ...

By the way for $165 I spent a QUALITY 6 hrs (6 AM - NOON) chasing Blue Marlin with a couple of the most seasoned guides on the island (Pier 7 in Lahaina on the island of Maui)... worth every penny ! (and Whales/Dolphins were a bonus for viewing pleasure).
