Maui, Hawaii Whale Tail and Breaching

If you are relocating to Hawaii, living in Hawaii or just like nature, you should consider taking part in one of the major tourist attractions in Hawaii.  This takes place during the winter months when the Humpback Whales migrate to Hawaii.

My family and I had went out on a whale watching expedition from Lahaina Boat Harbor in Lahaina Maui on Dec 12, 2008 and had one of the greatest experiences of our lives.

In this video you will see a whale tail which was awesome to see in person.  We also saw 2 full breaches where the whales "flew" completely out of the water!  It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen in my life.  To be able to see these endangered species in their own element was truly special.  The second video shows mostly the splash from one of the whale breaches but if you "freeze" the video in the very first frame, you can see the whale body out of the water.
