As a Maui local, I always get a chuckle from tourists who get so excited at the things we see as regular "everyday life". It's nice though, to know we live in such a coveted place. Maui is indeed a magical, wonderful place...truly touched by God. His handiwork surrounds us here.
@mauimom67 You are lucky indeed. The joy whales bring to humans says a lot about how much we feel connected to them. They are a pure joy and love and this is how people express the happiness these animals bring to them.
There is a part of me who thinks that the whales just somehow KNOW that we love seeing them and that's why they come so close. Its like, "Hey ma? The funny pink things are back. Can I go see them and make them make that funny noise? PLEEEEASE?"
Some people just don't know what they're missin'. It's without a doubt spectacular to see them in person. During whale seasons, we paddle out Maalaea to watch the whales from a legal distance. Very fun! Thanks for sharing!
i would be so scared i live on maui and i went canoing with my school in kihei and whales went under us and me and my best friend taylor were almost crying becuase we thought it was going to kill us....not really, but still, scary
@banjovialone there is nothing lame about feeling happiness and joy and expressing it.

What must they think of us humans? Are we like screaming bugs to them? Do flies screams like this when a person comes into a room?

She's not screaming through fear, it's the wonderment and excitement of seeing these much loved whales.

Perhaps they gain the same sense of astonishment at seeing us - imagine being a whale, seeing the beings that live on the surface of your world.
It must be like seeing an alien.
