Catch a glimpse of the wild days of Maui's whaling expeditions where seafarers would sign up for 3-5 year voyages to Japan and the Arctic. Visitors can immerse themselves in the sea-faring life of the 19th Century. The Whalers Village Museum displays over seventy species of whales. Introductory films about whaling history and Hawaii's state mammal, the Humpback Whale, are shown daily. Photo murals and the skeletal remains of a 40-foot Sperm Whale are dramatically exhibited.
