Twice we have left from Maalaea Bay's harbor and the boat or yacht headed southwest hugging Maui's shoreline so closely, we could frequently see Route 30. |
 |
| On the first occasion, the sunset cruise was too early in the year for whales. As you can see, we hit gold on our second outing. |
 |
| I first became aware of their presence when I heard a loud, swishing sound within 100 feet of the yacht. We believe this was a mother and calf. We stopped the boat, earlier in our voyage, when we spotted dolphins, so imagine our pleasure when we realized we had dolphins and whales to behold in a single outing. . |
 |
| They appeared to say hi. |
 |
|
And with a flick of their tales, they hit the road. |

| Some cruises provide food and drinks. I enjoyed this vessel since it offered shade. If you take a voyage during the daytime, I recommend asking if they have a roof to sit under before booking the trip. |
 |
| It is a great spot to watch the sunset. |

Traveling near route 30. |
