By

Humpback whaleNo matter how many times I have seen a humpback whale breach or caught a glimpse of a tail when the whale heads into a deep dive I still stop and watch in amazement.  I am fascinated by these creatures who choose to spend their winters in the waters surrounding Maui.  If you want to learn more about these beautiful animals there is an excellent opportunity to do so this Saturday evening, February 4, 2012. 

Greg Kaufman, founder of the Pacific Whale Foundation, a researcher for more than 35 years, author, and activist on behalf of the whales, will host an evening focused on sharing the latest discoveries in whale research from around the globe.  He has worked tirelessly to save the whales and will also share his stories on the progress and events from his participation in the International Whaling Commission's Scientific Committee.  

This free event will take place at the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the main ballroom.  No-host cocktails at 6 p.m.  To make reservations (which are suggested), please call the Pacific Whale Foundation at 808.249.8811, extension 1. The Wailea Beach Marriott Resort is located at 3700 Wailea Alanui in Wailea. 

For further information on the Pacific Whale Foundation's programs or whale watching excursions, please follow this link:  Pacific Whale Foundation.  You should follow the link just to watch the incredible humpback whale slide show on their home page!

Janet- how exciting.  I've never seen a whale but would love to.  I can't blame you for still watching in amazement when you see them.

Hi Ronald--I think the whales are fabulous no matter where you see them.

Hi Roger--come on over!!!  The weather is fabulous and so are the whales!

Hi Jackie--The whale watching cruises are fabulous and the whales often come up very near to the boats because they are very curious.

Hi Joanna--We were watching whales this morning on our walk.  They have their young now and are much closer in to the shores.  Fascinating.

Hi Kathy--Okay, start planning your trip to Maui!!!

I love all animals but I really love whales! The humpbacks I saw in Alaska were amazing, especially the babies. And the Orcas in Victoria, Canada....STUNNING! Can't imagine living in Hawaii and seeing them all the time.

Hi Shar--I don't know what the mystique is about whales but I do love them.  We are going to the presentation tonight.  Next week there is a 2-day symposium on whale research and I want to attend part of that, too.

I can totally understand your amazement with whales.  I would be mesmerized if I saw a glimpse of a tale!  This sounds like a great event to attend.  Have fun!

One of the highlights of a January trip to Maui was the whale activity. We sat on the beach and watched whales for hours...I love them.  Since I grew up in Juneau, Alaska, we saw whales a lot...it amazes me to think that the same whales make the trip back and forth from Alaska to Hawaii each year.

Hi Laura--the event was quite awesome.  Greg has some amazing footage of the humpback whales very close up.  He says when you look into the eye of a whale you are looking into the soul of the ocean.  That gives me goosebumps.

Hi Debb--the whales' journey amazes me, too.  A part of last night's program was tracking their migration, where they go and how long it takes.  Pretty fascinating.
