Pacific Whale Foundation naturalists and volunteers will be stationed at three locations along Maui's coast through April 30, 2012, to help you locate whales from shore. They'll share with you the best techniques for spotting these amazing marine mammals from Maui's shorelines, have binoculars and scopes to help you get a better view, along with models and marine artifacts for hands-on exploration. You'll also get answers to your questions about whales, geography and natural history. The stations are free and open to all as part of the Maui Whale Festival.
