Wailea, Maui, HI —Maui’s winter blues include tropical waters, azure skies and a favorite return
visitor—the humpback whales. As “whale season” approaches, Four
Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea has created
a
variety of ways
for guests to experience these majestic creatures. From a private
whale watch led by professional photographers to sightings
from any of the legendary Resort’s oceanfront vistas, the expert
Concierge Team can design a customized itinerary for whale enthusiasts
of all kinds.
“It’s
hard to imagine that Maui can become even more special,” says General
Manager Marc Bromley, “but every winter brings these gentle giants
to the waters just beyond the Resort’s shores. It doesn’t get much
better than experiencing whales up close and personal, and many of our
guests return year after year to do so.”
Whale
season officially runs from December 15 through May 15, and sightings
in the waters fronting the luxury Resort are in full swing. The
following experiences, most exclusively available for guests of Four
Seasons Maui, are available to those who wish to witness this natural
