Awesome, thanks a ton for the insight and sharing your experience!!!

I'm lucky enough to be on a longer-term work assignment here in Honolulu, and have booked 3 weekends to Maui starting this weekend and 1 to Big Island. But I am very much looking forward to lots of whale watching as well. Hope to do at least 2 whale watch per day over 6 total weekend days. And potentially 1 more in march if my SO can handle it, lol. She's worried that just being on a boat can be tiring, but I'm a bit more adventurous so I'll see how much I want to squeeze during the day.

Good to see the whales are active and numerous and are not afraid to checkout us humans too!
