Whale Watching Season in Hawaii

Hawaii’s whale watching season runs from December through April, when thousands of humpback whales migrate to the warm Pacific waters to breed, calve, and nurse their young. The peak months are January through March, offering the highest chance of spectacular sightings. During this season, you can witness breaching, tail slaps, and even hear the haunting songs of these gentle giants. CALL / TEXT to Book Whale Watching in Hawaii +1(808)400-4481
