I highly recommend this activity to everyone. In Canada, I had the opportunity to go whale watching from Vancouver Island, and it was amazing. We mainly saw orcas (killer whales in English).   <\/p>\n\n<p>On Maui, you can observe humpback whales from December to March, when they come here to give birth to their calves. A two-hour trip from Lahaina harbor costs around $60 per person. <strong>Many people hesitate to spend so much money on a short trip, but from my own experience, I can say that such experiences are worth it.<\/strong> For example, Luky and I invested a significant amount of money in kayaking in Alaska among glaciers, and we still rank it among our most powerful travel moments.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/snorchlovani-2.jpg\" alt=\"We only went snorkeling on Maui because it wasn&#039;t whale season, but I went whale watching from Vancouver Island and it was amazing.\" class=\"wp-image-92914\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/snorchlovani-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/snorchlovani-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/snorchlovani-2-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/snorchlovani-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/snorchlovani-2-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We only went snorkeling on Maui because it wasn&#8217;t whale season, but I went whale watching from Vancouver Island and it was amazing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>I recommend booking again through <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"GetYourGuide\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/getyourguide\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">GetYourGuide<\/a>; <strong>there&#8217;s usually a guarantee \u2013 if you don&#8217;t see whales, you can go again the next day for free.<\/strong> For the maximum chance of spotting them, I recommend morning cruises, when the sea is usually calmer.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Book your trip at the beginning of your stay.
