Even migrating humpback whales know Maui’s only Forbes Five-Star Resort is the best place to visit for vacation to Hawaii
Hawaii, Maui, U.S.A. – 2012-11-13 — /travelprnews.com/ — Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea announces this season’s first sightings of the majestic, acrobatic humpback whales singing their amazing songs in the warm, deep blue Pacific Ocean visible from the Hawaiian luxury resort’s beach. Maui’s most beloved marine mammal visitors know that every migratory trip must include appearances at the Forbes Five-Star property in Maui at Wailea, returning by the thousands each winter season to these tropical shores.
“The sights and sounds of these impressive 50-foot (15 metre) mammals takes the vacation experience to an entirely new level,” says Thomas Steinhauer, Four Seasons Resort Maui general manager and regional vice president. “Every season, our guests tell us that the memory of this experience lasts far longer than the pictures they take. It is an experience they can share with family and friends – and one that becomes a lifetime memory told and retold.”
This year, guests at Resort will have many whale watching opportunities to take part in, and see these majestic North Pacific humpback whales put on their spectacular show – close up, from the sky and right from the Resort situated on Maui’s finest stretch of beach.
Whatever the level of adventure, Four Seasons Resort Maui can customize a whale watching program to help Resort guests enjoy watching these gentle giants of the sea. Here are five different and unique whale watching encounters in Maui, and Resort guests can enjoy one or more or take advantage of all five opportunities. Several are complimentary:
