Lahaina inspires those fascinated by whales to begin an amazing trip. Imagine yourself at the harbor surrounded by sea breeze and energetic air. Whales seen here are like sitting front-row in the vast drama of nature. Not sure what to pack? Learn about this from those who’ve been.
From opulent catamarans to cozy rafts, each with a different experience, are choices. Captains and crews chronicle incredible tales of the big humpbacks. With luck, you might come upon one doing an incredible jump.
Mornings provide few people and quiet waves. Imagine the sun rising to send a sparkle on the sea like countless diamonds. One friend commented about it, “pure enchantment.” Amazing, indeed?
For those who enjoy sunset, evening excursions light the heavens with pinks and oranges, offering a wonderful background for whale sightings. Stop to genuinely savor the experience even while you capture the moment with your camera.
Concerned about nausea in the sea? One quick fix is ginger candies; another is motion sickness wristbands. One is usually wise to be ready! Once I saw someone carrying a lot of ginger snaps; now, that’s preparation!
One can almost sense the excitement on board. Cameras poised, everyone looks out at the horizon, excited conversations humming about. Then out of nowhere a tail appears! Time seems to stop; cameras click, gasps are audible.
