anywhere from just a few to up to 30, and occasionally it&#39;s more! We also come across the Bottlenose Dolphin, which is also a spectacular treat.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-time-of-year-are-dolphins-in-maui\"><\/span>What time of year are dolphins in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Unlike the leaping Humpback whales that visit Maui each winter, dolphins are full time Maui residents that can be spotted at any time of year. The most common dolphin encounters on Maui occur when out on a boat, particularly those between Lahaina and Lanai where there&#39;s a large population of spinners.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-is-the-best-place-to-see-dolphins-maui\"><\/span>Where is the best place to see dolphins Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Molokini Crater<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-time-of-year-are-dolphins-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What time of year are dolphins in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Best Time of Year to See Dolphins in Hawaii For most travelers, the shoulder seasons of April \u2013 May and August \u2013 November are ideal for encountering these beauties during a swim!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-to-do-if-a-dolphin-approaches-you\"><\/span>What to do if a dolphin approaches you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although dolphins may seem curious, many of their behaviors are often misinterpreted as \u201cfriendly\u201d when they actually are, in fact, signs of disturbance or aggression. If a dolphin approaches you in the water, do not engage, pursue, or otherwise interact with the dolphin, and take immediate steps to move away.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-time-of-day-are-dolphins-most-active-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What time of day are dolphins most active in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The best time to see dolphins is usually early in the morning after they come in from hunting all night. Dolphins are nocturnal creatures, they go offshore to find animals like squid and schools of baitfish to hunt and eat at night. Then they come in in the morning and sleep in our bays and shallow spots.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"should-you-swim-with-wild-dolphins\"><\/span>Should you swim with wild dolphins?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although sea water acts as an effective disinfectant, interaction with wild dolphins may result in disease transfer. These may present serious health threats to dolphins and humans alike. Finally, swimming with dolphins represents harassment \u2013 you do not want to get a fine.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"should-you-swim-with-dolphins-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Should you swim with dolphins in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In Hawaii, it is illegal to swim with dolphins that you accidentally come across in the ocean because they are a protected species. It is okay if they approach you first, but do not swim up to them intentionally. Dolphins are friendly by nature, and if they want to interact with you, they will.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-time-are-dolphins-close-to-shore\"><\/span>What time are dolphins close to shore?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dolphins are most active at the crack of dawn, between 10 am and noon, and from 2 pm till dusk. A great pair of telephoto lenses or binoculars can be invaluable tools to spot dolphins easily.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-dolphins-try-to-hump-you\"><\/span>Do dolphins try to hump you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Even the most crusty among us has to admit that dolphins humping humans is just funny. Because it&#39;s not possible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"will-a-dolphin-save-you-from-drowning\"><\/span>Will a dolphin save you from drowning?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The ancient Greeks told stories of dolphins protecting sailors, and it even happened on an episode of Flipper. It isn&#39;t surprising that people are fascinated by this idea. Unfortunately, there just isn&#39;t any reliable evidence that it&#39;s true.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-true-that-if-you-see-dolphins-there-are-no-sharks\"><\/span>Is it true that if you see dolphins there are no sharks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It&#39;s a common piece of surfing wisdom that where dolphins swim, there are never sharks. But for ocean-goers who take comfort in a pod of dolphins swimming by, shark experts have bad news. &#34;This is a myth,&#34; Andrew Nosal, a shark expert at the University of San Diego, told Live Science in an email.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-smell-do-sharks-hate\"><\/span>What smell do sharks hate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The repellent, called A-2 because it was the second recipe tried, is derived from extracts of dead sharks that Stroud gathered at New Jersey fish markets and piers. Fishermen and scientists have long noted sharks stay away if they smell a dead shark.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-color-do-sharks-hate\"><\/span>What color do sharks hate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Since sharks see contrast colors, anything that is very bright against lighter or darker skin can look like a bait fish to a shark. For this reason, he suggests swimmers avoid wearing yellow, white, or even bathing suits with contrasting colors, like black and white.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-common-are-shark-attacks-in-maui\"><\/span>How common are shark attacks in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So beware of palms and angry dogs. What are the chances of being attacked by a shark? There are usually 2 to 3 attacks around Hawaii per year, but almost always non-fatal. With the millions of people in the ocean around Maui every year, your chances of being attacked are slim to none.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-month-are-sharks-most-active-in-hawaii\"><\/span>What month are sharks most active in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Number of incidents based on statewide shark data 1950-2021. The relationship between number of people in the water and number of shark bites is not always as expected. There appears to be an increased risk of being bitten by a shark during certain months, in particular October through December.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-sharks-in-molokini-crater\"><\/span>Are there sharks in Molokini Crater?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Are there sharks at Molokini Crater? Yes. Reef sharks spend most of their time on the backside of the crater, but we sometimes see them close to the bottom in deeper waters within the crater.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-sharks-smell-period-blood\"><\/span>Can sharks smell period blood?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A shark&#39;s sense of smell is powerful \u2013 it allows them to find prey from hundreds of yards away. Menstrual blood in the water could be detected by a shark, just like any urine or other bodily fluids. However, there is no positive evidence that menstruation is a factor in shark bites.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-peeing-in-the-ocean-attract-sharks\"><\/span>Does peeing in the ocean attract sharks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No reaction. From a scientific standpoint, Esbaugh says that it&#39;s \u201cdefinitely not true\u201d that sharks are attracted to urine, and he assumes the rumor got started because many animals use scent to track their prey. But he says this doesn&#39;t hold up because humans aren&#39;t the most common meal for sharks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-can-you-tell-if-a-shark-is-near\"><\/span>How can you tell if a shark is near?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Do you see birds diving into the waters or a small fish jumping out that could be a sign that a<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hEW1wfd7Qvc?autoplay=0&#038;fs=0&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;start=0&#038;end=0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-sharks-smell-fear\"><\/span>Can sharks smell fear?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Can Sharks Smell Fear? No, they can&#39;t. The sense of smell of a shark is strong, and they can smell everything that interacts with their sensory cell on their nares, but this doesn&#39;t include feelings such as fear. But you need to remember that sharks don&#39;t rely only on just their sense of smell.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-color-are-sharks-attracted-to\"><\/span>What color are sharks attracted to?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned, sharks are attracted to high contrast colors. And in murky waters, these colors will be bright yellow and orange. Just think of why we use these colors in our safety diving equipment! This is actually not the color itself that counts, but the contrast with its environment.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-blood-really-attract-sharks\"><\/span>Does blood really attract sharks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sharks are attracted to human blood Contrary to popular belief, however, sharks are not attracted to human blood. A shark is more likely to be attracted to a bleeding fish or sea lion than a human being with a cut in the ocean.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-should-you-do-if-you-see-a-shark-while-snorkeling\"><\/span>What should you do if you see a shark while snorkeling?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What To Do If You Encounter Sharks While Snorkeling<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In South Maui, there is a pod of Hawaiian spinner dolphins which frequent the area around La Perouse Bay, and occasionally we will spot these dolphins on our snorkeling tours to Molokini.
