Whale Watching

  

Big Island whale watching, its one of the most popular activities in the Hawaiian islands. If you're visiting the Big Island of Hawaii, don't miss the opportunity to do something that most people only dream about! The waters of the island are home to a variety of whale species, including humpback whales, which come to the area to mate and give birth every year. Several boat tour operators offer whale watching tours, so you can choose the one that is right for you. Most tours last between two and three hours and include stops at other scenic locations around the island. Seeing whales while on your trip to Hawaii is definitely a bucket list item that many will never be able to do. While most people who want to see these gentle giants doing so and out on a boat is another story, you can actually spot them from land as well. There are several spots around the coast where you might see humpback whales. Unfortunately, whale sightings aren't guaranteed and often depend on weather conditions and other factors. However, you can see them for yourself with a little bit of research and preparation.

Whale season spans from late July through October, but specific species can be spotted at different times of the year. Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeanglieae) are most abundant off Kauai between mid-August and early September and in Kona waters from early July through November. Maui's manta rays (Manta birostris) can be spotted from May until October, while spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris) are present from June through September. You may be wondering about the whale watching tour prices, the rates vary so best to check directly through one or all of the links below. It depends on how long you're going for and which tour company you book with. Our advice is to shop around and look at a few different companies before deciding. Whale watching can get quite pricey too, but if you have time and are willing to spend a bit more for unforgettable experience, it's worth every penny. 

Watching whales is truly an incredible experience that reminds us just how small we are and how important it is for us to protect these majestic creatures. But if you want to experience something special, head out with a tour operator and actually get in the water with them. Many outfitters can take you on customized tours around the Big Island. If you have time, plan your trip between mid-December and mid-March when more humpback whales are sighted. If you are traveling with kids or just don't feel comfortable getting wet, then opt for a land-based tour where you can still get up close to these amazing animals. Whichever option you choose, make sure to check with your local travel agent about current conditions as well as restrictions on what type of activities are allowed at different times throughout the year. So what are you waiting for? Book your whale watching tour today and enjoy and unforgettable experience.
