The Pacific Whale Foundation
Maui Whale Festival!

The Pacific Whale Foundation puts on their fantastic Maui Whale Festival every year during the Maui whale watching season! (December to early May)

The great news for us vacationers is that most of the events are recurring - so no matter when we're in Maui during whale season, odds are there will be a few whale festival events for us to choose from and attend!

Some of these recurring events are particularly cool! Stuff like:

• Full moon Maui whale watches with an award-winning astronomer (Link for more information will open in new window.)
• Learn first-hand what it's like to be a whale researcher on the Ultimate Whale Watch (Link for more information will open in new window.)
• VIP whale watches with the whale foundation founder, president and chief scientist, Greg Kaufman
• Whale Photo Safaris with professional photographers and state of the art digital cameras

More fun options include:

• Island Rhythms Sunset Cocktail Cruise (Link for more information will open in new window.)
• Stargazing Cruise with award-winning astronomer Harriet Witt (Link for more information will open in new window.)
• Sunset Cocktail Whale Watch (Link for more information will open in new window.)

(The Pacific Whale Foundation sunset cocktail cruises are fantastic! When my husband and I went on a sunset Maui cocktail cruise with the Pacific Whale Foundation a while back, we left with GREAT memories!)

The Maui Whale Festival also has some fun one-time events such as:

• Golf Fore the Whales fundraiser
• The Run For the Whales marathon race
• The Great Whale Count
• The Parade of Whales in Kihei, which is always popular with children

If you happen to be on "the Valley Isle" during Maui whale watching season, be sure to keep an eye on my "Paradise Found in Maui" blog for announcements about festival events going on near you!
