Humpback Whales Will Arrive Soon
Humpback whale season generally runs from December through March or April
in Hawaii, although there are occasional sightings during other months.
Many thousands of humpback whales winter in Hawaii each year.
They come from Alaska to give birth to their young and mate. Maui seems to
be the best place for whale watching, but the Big Island has excellent sightings
too. There are many whale watching boat trips available but we've seen
whales in the distance from the beach at the Mauna Kea and the Hapuna Beach
Prince resorts. The road just north of Kawaihae is also a great place to
stop and whale watch from the shore. At times, we've been snorkeling off
shore and been able to hear the whales singing in the distance. The number
of whales and how active they are varies from year to year but we're hoping for
a lot of activity this winter.
