- Kailua-Kona - The Humpback Whale (Koholā) arrives in Hawaii in December and typically remains until April. After migrating from Alaska, these majestic creatures give birth in the warm Hawaiian waters, where they nurse, rest, and play for the next five months before heading back to Alaska.
Join the adventure to observe not only humpback whales but also a variety of other whale species in their natural environment. Look forward to witnessing tail slaps, playful head bobs, spy hops, mating heat runs, and full-body breaches during the whale-watching excursions.
The team will take the opportunity to share their naʻauao (knowledge) about these remarkable marine animals—their behaviors, migration patterns, and connections with Hawaiian culture. Guests will also be captivated by the mele (song) of the koholā (whale) through a specially designed hydrophone that captures live audio of the whales communicating below.
This winter season, guests are invited for a unique and unforgettable experience on the water, enjoying the breathtaking presence of these magnificent animals.
