  <name>Humpback Whale Watching, Maui</name>
  <summary>The chance to observe these gentle leviathans in the flesh is one of the most delightful and profoundly moving experiences that this world can offer.  </summary>
  <full_description>&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Growing up to nearly 50 feet and weighing as much as 30 tonnes, it is simply amazing to behold these incredible creatures leaping out of the water!&amp;nbsp; About two-thirds of the entire humpback whale population of the North Pacific are thought to visit the Hawaiian Islands each winter, and sightings are pretty much guaranteed during the season.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Microphones will be dropped into the water along the way, so that you may hear the extraordinary and complex songs for which Humpbacks are renowned.&amp;nbsp; An onboard ocean guide will also provide information during the encounter.&amp;nbsp;In addition to this rare treat, the warm ocean waters off the Hawaiian Islands are teeming with other marine life so keep a lookout as you may well see Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Sea Turtles and Porpoises.&lt;/p&gt;</full_description>
