- 4K Live webcam feed from the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale Marine Sanctuary off the island of Maui. The Sanctuary, which spans all the way to the mysterious island of Molokai and Lanai in the distance, is the birthing and mating grounds of the North Pacific Humpback Whale population. They can be seen breaching, fin, and tail slapping in large numbers here from December to April. This live feed rotates from the north (tiny Mokuho'Oniki Island and Kahana, Maui), west (Island of Molokai) to the south (Island of Lanai).
Just in front is the Kahekili Marine Reserve - one of only three conservation zones on Maui and a popular spot for watching green sea turtles feed on seaweed. Spot the occasional pod of dolphins or a rare sighting of the critically endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal. Morning rainbows are common and the sunsets in the evening are spectacular. To ensure the privacy of guests staying at Maui Sands 4B, the sound from the webcam is not live but was prerecorded from this exact spot earlier.
This is the exact view that guests of Maui Sands Unit 4B experience right from the ground floor lanai. Unit 4B is a carbon-neutral, eco-friendly, and fully-equipped condo. Maui Sands is one of the original condo resorts in all of West Maui and it has retained a lot of the old Hawaii vintage feel of the '60s before the hotel boom. If you would like to experience this view in person, visit www.mauisands.com to find out more.
The researchers at the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale Marine Sanctuary at NOAA have asked for your help in spotting Humpback Whales. Specifically, they want our viewers to report anything unusual with the Humpbacks such as vessel strikes, entanglements, etc. If you spot a humpback and more importantly see one in distress, please make note of the day and time (time on the bottom left of the video) and email the details to whalesighting@mauisands.com. We will forward your report right away to the Maui Island coordinator at NOAA.
If you spot any other marine creatures such as Hawaiian Monk Seals, Spinner Dolphins, or Sea Turtles (Green or Hawksbill) you are encouraged to report it in the live chat.

How can you not just love that??!! I could sit there all day long and watch! It looks so quiet and serene with nothing but you and the ocean and the twilight watching him happily playing in the water 🐋🌊❤
Aloha, thank you for this magnificent video. And double Mahalo for keeping the glorious sound of the ocean and not putting in ridiculous so called music. Those whales looked so happy frolicking in their native habitat. It is crucial to protect them and our oceans. I once was privileged to see a whale breaching when I was in Maui and let me tell you, it was a spiritual experience that I will never forget🐳🌊🐬🐠💙.
whales are my absolute favourite mammals I love watching them. I last saw them off the coast of Victoria, BC, and it was magical. Yes, we must protect them at all costs all over the world.! ❤️🔥🙏🏻
This brings me so much joy. When we were in Maui and saw them, it is just a spiritual experience.
Kohola! Happy to be home. Jumping for joy. Maikai!
❤ amazing 😮 thanks for sharing. Aloha
Beautiful…. I was lucky to see the whales last march in Maui.
The best experience of my life!

Love this! I'm going to Hawaii in a month. Planning to go to Maui and would love to see these beautiful whales 🐳🐋😍
