We have a better idea: give up boring old tours altogether. Welcome to a new kind of eco-excitement! Picture this: a little ship glides out through waves the like of which you have never seen. You are there on deck, heart filled with the sound of the sea – discover more.
Guides begin the journey of this voyage–they bring the stories of nature to life. With words spun from gentle threads, they tell these huge creatures. These are blent together Hawaiian mythologythreads with totally new stories that tell the curiosities and marvels of modern science. Who would have believed that only by learning to listen could humpback whales communicate with their songs over great distances? What an underwater concert!
Sustainability is behind the wheel on this trip. These boats tiptoe over waves lightly, and tomorrow this ocean will still be as pure it was yesterday. The guides have a collective deep sea philosophy which leads them to conserve the ocean’s miracles. Every contact with nature is educational–and respectful.
This isn’t your stereotypically scripted tour. The guides are actually engaging with you on all points that attract curiosity. “Hey, what is the world’s biggest animal?” They chortle heartily and provocatively.
And then — there it is: a whale breaches, in the sea a gigantic ballet happening out of nowhere. Cameras click away sweatily– not just at this splendid jump, but with laughter and surprise filling the air. Passengers swap stores, taken to heights of sensation by their mutual excitement.
This is no ordinary whaling tour out at Lahaina. You are beginning to merge with the fabric of life in nature here. The whales, guardians of those secrets hidden deep beneath the sea, play their part in it–on their own terms.
As the day closes and the last light kisses the sea gold carefully, it creates a horizon of flaming colors. Nature would appear to be giving Lahaina’s eco-whale adventure a standing ovation, leaving behind an unforgettable memory.
