Witness these amazing creatures in their natural wild habitat as you zoom across Maui's glistening waters. You'll journey to Ma'alaea Harbor and step inside a sturdy and lightweight motorized Zodiac, a rigid hull inflatable vessel designed for high speeds and optimal maneuverability. Then, marvel at the beauty that surrounds you as your captain steers a course over the sparkling blue water along Maui's scenic sea cliffs in search of the humpback whales that migrate from Alaska every year to mate and calve from December through May. A certified marine naturalist will provide fun and informative interpretations of the humpback whale behaviors and characteristics. Once whales are spotted, your captain will maneuver the boat so you'll have the best views of these astonishing mammals without disturbing them.

Stanley Park is one of the largest urban forests in Canada and a premier Vancouver attraction. The West Coast climate supports the abundance of flora and fauna and a wonderful variety of furry creatures and majestic birds call this sanctuary home. The grey squirrels that you see scampering among the trees were actually brought over from New York's Central Park decades ago. At the east tip of the Stanley Park is Brockton Point, where you'll find the famed Native Totem Garden. Colorful, carved works of art stand proud and tall in commemoration of the First Nations culture, which first inhabited the area. Your knowledgeable guide will impart the history of the area and will tell you the story behind the totem poles. Notice how each totem pole has a different face carved into it; they each represent individual families and tribes.
