The video discusses whale watching in Hawaii, specifically focusing on humpback whales. These whales travel over 3,000 miles from Alaska to Hawaii to give birth and can weigh over 50 tons and be as long as 50 feet. The official whale watching season in Hawaii runs from December 15th to May 15th, but sightings can occur as early as October and as late as June. To get the most out of your whale watching experience, it's recommended to book the earliest trip possible and to do it at the beginning of your trip. Early morning trips tend to be cheaper and less windy, which can help prevent seasickness. It's also important to choose a reputable company and avoid situations where you don't see any whales or get too close to them.
The type of boat you choose can also impact your experience. Ocean rafts are recommended for those who want to see the most whales, as they are fast and can quickly move to areas with whale activity. Catamarans are a good option for those who want a more comfortable and leisurely experience. Large vessels are also available and are more budget-friendly, but they tend to be slower due to their size and can be crowded. Another option is to go kayaking or stand-up paddling, but it is important to be cautious of the wind and not go too far out.
Maui County is the most famous spot to see humpback whales due to its shallow waters, which are like a "kiddie pool" for the whales' newborns. Humpback whales sing, and it is possible to hear them without a microphone by going underwater. It is important to use reef-safe sunscreen in Hawaii, as it is now illegal to use any sunscreen that is not considered reef-safe.
