About the Humpback Whales:
Each year, from late December through April, humpback whales migrate, from Alaska, to the warm waters of Hawaii to calve, mate and rear their young. The shallow waters surrounding Maui are known as the "cradle of the humpback" due to the fact that a large number of humpbacks are raised in this area. Calves are born weighing in at around 3000 pounds and grow at a rate of 200 pounds a day during the first few weeks of life. The adults have been known to reach 45 feet in length and may weigh up to 40 tons.

The humpback whale has been protected from whaling in U.S. waters since 1966 and is presently listed as an endangered species. Education is our most effective tool in saving this species from extinction. Viewing these majestic creatures from our whale watching boats is not only one of the most exciting things you will ever do, but narration by our naturalists will enlighten you to the life of the humpback whales.

Highlights:
Four Winds II combines a whalewatch with a snorkel excursion every afternoon during whale season. Not only will you be able to view the activity of the humpback (like awesome breaches, peck and tail slaps and more!), but you'll spend a lazy afternoon snorkeling and watersliding while our crew grills up the best burgers and chicken on Maui and serves you your choice of beverages. This is one of the best trips of it's kind!

Includes:
BBQ lunch can be purchased separately as an option, but we do include an Open Bar of Beer, Wine and Soda.

All Four Winds Trips include a marine naturalist who will be showing and narrating a video which has been filmed of your actual trip. The naturalist will film passengers on board as well as the passengers in the water and the marine life below the surface. The video will be shown on the trip back to the harbor and will be available for purchase in DVD, VHS and still formats.
