It’s just about the time of year when Hawaii whale watching is in full swing and the waters surrounding the islands are teeming with Humpback Whales, making their way back to warm waters following a summer off of the coast of Alaska, Canada, and the Pacific Northwest. These creatures are incredible, making the long journey across the Pacific to raise their young, breed, and give birth. During a winter visit to Hawaii, a Hawaii Whale Watching Tour is a must, and no matter which island you will be visiting, you’ll have the chance to witness these giant mammals.
Hawaii whale watching tours are one of the best Hawaii activities for families and those traveling with young kids. It provides something fun to do while taking you out to sea for a low-key activity that offers plenty of excitement. No matter how old you are and no matter how many things you have seen, the site of an enormous humpback whale will leave you in disbelief. These creatures are among the largest in the ocean and when you see one up close, their size is striking.
It is estimated that approximately 10,000 humpback whales make their way to Hawaii, starting in early November and staying through April. December is the peak time for arrivals, and whales begin to show up in staggering numbers. Though a Hawaii whale watching tour is the easiest way to spot humpbacks, you might be able to catch a glimpse of a breeching whale from the shore, though this is incredibly difficult. To increase the chances of spotting one, head out to sea on a whale watching tour that is the perfect daytime activity. Most tours last between 2-3 hours, leaving plenty of time for more activities later in the day!
There are many events that occur throughout the year that help to make Hawaii a special place, and whale season is one of those events. Winter in Hawaii is a really fun time, with the big waves hitting north shores and big wave surf competitions being held throughout the islands. Hawaii whale watching is always a hit and you will have a great time out at sea. Many Hawaii whale watching tours guarantee whale sighting, so even if you miss out, you can return on a different day for the chance to see humpback whales in Hawaii!
