Anytime is the best time! But, if you&#39;re looking for the best scenic times, early morning or sunset is considered prime. 11 am to 3 pm yields the best overhead light.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-whales-in-maui-right-now\"><\/span>Are whales in Maui right now?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Whale sightings in Maui typically occur between November and May. The best months to see whales is usually between mid-January and March as this is considered peak whalewatching season. On occasion, we will have our first whale sighting as early as October or late September.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-the-humpbacks-in-hawaii-now\"><\/span>Are the humpbacks in Hawaii now?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Humpback whales make their annual journey to Hawaii between the months of November and April (whale season), and the Big Island is our favorite of the Hawaiian islands to see them! Other great islands for whale watching are O\u02bbahu, <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/trendingsimple.com\/hawaii\/maui\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Maui\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Maui<\/a> and Kauai.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-do-whales-jump-out-of-the-water\"><\/span>Why do whales jump out of the water?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is an unusual behavior to carry out due to the high-energy demand it requires. For example, a full Humpback breach requires the whale to break through the water&#39;s surface at its top speed of 28km\/h. The simplest explanation for a whale jumping out of the water appears to be sociality or alertness.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-whales-like-humans\"><\/span>Do whales like humans?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>From a historical perspective, whales do appear to be non-aggressive. Their relatives, the dolphin&#39;s species, tend to be very friendly and curious towards humans, often displaying a desire to greet and meet people.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-safe-to-swim-with-whales\"><\/span>Is it safe to swim with whales?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Is swimming with whales dangerous? If you are respectful to the whales and follow directions it is quite safe. Humpback whales are some of the most gentle and considerate animals in the world, despite their size.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"which-whale-is-the-friendliest\"><\/span>Which whale is the friendliest?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Gray whales<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-intelligent-is-a-whale\"><\/span>How intelligent is a whale?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>However, we do know that whales are very smart. Like dolphins, whales are excellent communicators, and they show high levels of emotional and social intelligence. They also have very large brains, actually some of the largest.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-whales-save-humans\"><\/span>Do whales save humans?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Marine biologist Nan Hauser says a 50,000lb (22,700kg) humpback whale protected her from a tiger shark during a recent research expedition in the Cook Islands.
