Whale Excursion



The weather has kept us from doing a few activities we had planned to do with Taryn so we are having to ad lib. We hoped to do a whale watch tour so Gary was watching the weather and knew this was the day to go for it so he made reservations for the first tour of the morning

We knew we wanted to be on a pontoon type boat and Gary found Captain Steve's tour. We were there bright and early, the weather was perfect and the water much calmer than it has been all week.

There isn't a bad seat on the boat. We had no problem finding whales and it was a spectacular experience to watch them up close. You can hear them blow thru their spouts and slap the water with their fins and tails. It really is something you have to experience because a picture just cannot capture it.

After about an hour and a half we went taken back to shore and the next tour loaded. We were starving so went in to Lahaina for breakfast in town - a real treat.
