There are also some great whale photos from our Wed. & Thurs. trips on our Maui Magic Dolphin Discovery Facebook Page and more fun things on our Four Winds II Maui Snorkel Snorkeling at Molokini Facebook Pages. 

We are having so much fun in Maui!

Here are a couple of shots of the whales we saw on yesterdays trip!  We’ve had glassy water conditions, 150 ft. of visibilty Molokini Crater, and humpback whales everywhere!  I love Maui!

On our way to our 2nd snorkel spot on the Maui Magic, we came across a competition pod of Humpback Whales in the middle of Maalaea Bay.  I was able to snap a shot of one of the males doing a head lunge onto another male whale.  Amazing sight to see!

It has been amazing weather this week in Maui!  Our visibility in Molokini Crater was 150+ feet.  We also snorkeled at La Perouse, Turtle Arches, and Coral Gardens between the Four Winds II and Maui Magic with amazing conditions.  Our temperatures are hanging around 80 degrees, the sun is shining, the humpback whales and dolphins are playing all over Maalaea Bay…..are you ready to book your vacation yet?

As 2011 comes to a close, I find myself excited and ready for 2012 and what it will bring!  It’s always wonderful starting off the year with the Humpback Whales, beautiful weather, unbelievable snorkeling, and all around happy people!

Thank you to all of our friends, family, and followers for you support and enjoyment.  We look forward to entertaining and keeping up with all of you in the year to come!

Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!

We have been seeing a lot of the Spinner Dolphins on the Maui Magic, sometime even twice in one trip!  They’ve been doing their usual acrobatics and playful activities all around us, giving us quite a show!  They are a very social animal, so they enjoy hanging around the boat showing off.  We are so lucky to see them on a regular basis!

It’s official, the Humpback Whales are really, REALLY here!  We are now getting to the point that we are seeing them everyday in Maalaea Bay, rather then “right place, right time”.  Yesterday we saw a mother and calf and the day before a competition pod of 6 whales swim right under the boat.  We LOVE that Humbpack Whales visit our Maui waters during the winter!  If you click on the “creature feature” link and go to the Humpback Whale posts, you can learn more about why they are here!

The Humpback Whales have started to come back!  The Captains have been saying that they have been seeing the “blows”, but I personally had my first sighting on Thursday.  There were 3 hanging just of the Maui shore between Kamaole I and II.  Seeing them for the first time each seasonalways puts a huge smile on my face because it means the start of 4 very fun months!  After checking out the whales we went to snorkel at Molokini Crater with its 150 ft. of visibility.  Our next stop was La Perouse Bay where we found a pod of about 20 spinner dolphins and then off to Turtle Arches.  Even though the weather was a bit cloudy it turned out to be an AMAZING day

Cruising with a Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle at “Turtle Arches”.  They are just so graceful!
