Most Epic Maui Whale Watch EVER - part 2
Check out this close-up humpback whale watching encounter just off the shores of west Maui! Often referred to as a whale ‘mugging,’ these two guys were extremely fortunate to get the whale watch of a lifetime as they prepared to go scuba diving:
Filmed off of the coast of west Maui’s Lahaina Town, this video was captured from a 10 foot zodiac boat on an iPhone and a GoPro and is one of the closest encounters we’ve ever seen on film!
If you plan to travel to Maui, Hawaii, from the period of mid December to mid May, you’re just in time to witness the Aloha State’s favorite time of year: whale season. The 5th largest species of whale in the world, these majestic humpbacks make their annual journey from the shores of Alaska to Hawaii each year in order to mate, give birth and nurse their young in the warm, shallow waters surrounding Hawaii. On Maui in particular, humpback whales particularly seem to love the shallow and protected Au’au Channel, which lies conveniently between west Maui and our neighbor island of Lanai.
While chasing after humpbacks is strictly prohibited, it’s a truly memorable experience when they take the time to approach you instead! You can see these stunning creatures during whale season on Maui on one of many popular whale watching tours, whether by boat with Kai Kanani and Redline Rafting or by outrigger canoe, stand up paddleboard or kayak with Hawaiian Paddle Sports and Maui Kayak Adventures. Additionally, you’re often even lucky enough to spot them from shore while lounging at the beach! Just remember to always pull over, park and get out of your car if the sudden urge to whale watch while driving hits.
When viewing them from the water, you may even get lucky enough to hear the males as they sing, and witness the many playful behaviors they exhibit on the surface of the water, including fluke up and down dives, blowing, pec and tail slapping, spy hopping, head slapping and breaching.
Truly an unforgettable experience in Maui, we recommend whale season for new and return visitors to The Valley Isle. Aloha!

Snorkeling in HAWAII + Whale Encounter | SB
Experience what it’s like to snorkel the warm, clear, blue waters off the coast of the Island of Maui, Hawaii. We took a 4 hour rafting tour to explore the lava arches left from historic volcano eruptions, snorkel a coral reef and a sea turtle sanctuary. During our time in the water we encountered a group of 6 whales that quickly approached our boat and gave us a show! If you are considering snorkeling in Maui, it is a must! This was definitely the highlight of our entire week on this beautiful island.

MAUI & OAHU - HAWAII
10 days in Maui and 4 days in Oahu.
So what did we do ?
In Maui we stayed at a hostel called Banana Bungalow which was amazing because they provided tours everyday. (so it's the volunteers who work there we have to thank for taking us to the incredible places shown in this video!)
A little break down of what we did:
0.11 - The one day we didn't go on a tour we took ourselves to a beach called Kanaha Beach which was beautiful and we had to ourselves. I would only recommend going if you have your own car as we easily found a taxi to take us there but it was very difficult to get one to take us back.
0.23 & 2.31 - Big Beach / Little Beach. During the day we relaxed on the beach, got battered by big waves and played volleyball. As the sun starts to set everyone climbs over the rock and the right end of the beach to go to 'little beach'. Every Sunday there is a drum circle and it is also a 'clothing optional' beach..
0.29 - Sunset and Kihei Beach.
Turtles !!! You can see turtles at almost any beach you go to in Maui. We saw the most at Ka'anapali beach.
1.12 - Ka'anapali beach - home to the black rock cliff jump. (The cliff jump in 1.09 is near this area but not a well known spot, nor easy to get to!)
1.26 - Lahaina Beach sunset. I loved this seaside town - it had great shops and restaurants. It is also home to the largest banyan tree in the US.
2.08 - bamboo forest / waterfall hike located on the road to Hana. I am unsure of the name, however this website gives pretty good info about it!
It is a very muddy hike and can be slippery.. I would suggest not wearing shoes!
2.44 - Mount Haleakala. 12 mile round trip. Worth the sore feet! 3.38 - The sunset from the top.
3.03 - Ioa Valley State Park. The hike we did was actually beyond the sign saying not to hike beyond it - we hopped a fence! It was by far the muddiest hike I have ever done and the shoes were ditched very early on.
In Oahu we stayed in an air bnb on North Shore and also hired a car to get around the island.
0.50 - you can find swings like these everywhere along the roadside!
1.01 Lanikai Beach
1.30 - M'akapu'u lookout
1.32 - M'akapu'u tide pools. We parked at the lighthouse trail and hiked up to then scramble down the rock face to get to the tide pools.
1.44 - Koko head stairs hike. Aka one hell of a workout. It consists of 1048 steps with it getting steadily steeper... It is certainly a challenge, but the view is incredible. Worth going up for sunset!
2.35 - Pillbox Hike. Fairly short hike with a gorgeous 360 view of Lanikai beach and surrounding area at the top.
3.17 - Sunrise Shack, North Shore. Amazing smoothie bowls!

SNORKELING, HIKING, AND DINNER AT MERRIMAN'S | MAUI VLOG DAY 3 (VLOGMAS DAY 20)
We went snorkeling at Kamaole beach across from our house then went to Iao Valley state park hills and went on a secret trail we found on yelp! If you decide to try it, it took us about 2 hours total but was really fun! Be prepared to get muddy and there are some steep parts! We finished the night at Merriman's, the food and the ambiance are amazing!!

Maui Time-Lapse Compilation of Sunsets, Moon-sets, and Ocean
Compilation of some of my time-lapse photography on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Still learning this art-form, but keep checking back -- I'm addicted to this now, and will keep uploading videos. :) This is true time-lapse photography (i.e.- it is NOT sped-up video, but individual photographs), and shots were taken alternately with a Nikon D7100 and D5100. I do not own the rights to the music, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!

Maui Trip 2013 - February 16, 2013 Iao Needle 3 of 3
After grabbing lunch, we decided to go to a famous tourist destination called the Iao Needle. Enjoy.
Shark Attacks German Tourist in Hawaii - Bites off Arm!
Shark Attacked a German female tourist snorkeling near the beach. 4th Shark Attack in Maui this year! UPDATE! 20 year old German girl had an encounter with an unidentified shark 150 feet off the shore of White Rock beach in Maui, Hawaii around 5pm on Wednesday.
The shark attacked her while she was snorkeling and chewed off her arm just below the shoulder. The girl was unconscious after the bite and was taken to Maui Memorial Hospital by her 2 friends and a bystander in a kayak.
As of today the girl's name has not been released but she appears to be in stable condition and looks like she'll survive.
Hawaii had 11 shark attacks last year, the most in over a decade, but Hawaii has not had a fatal shark attack since 2004 when a surfer died after being bitten by a tiger shark 300 feet from the shore in Maui.
While tiger sharks are one of the most deadly sharks to humans, reports are suspecting it was an ocean whitetip that attacked the girl.
If you are going to swim at a beach that has any danger of sharks, it's best to have others around you and you should always avoid the water at dusk or dawn.
