As the title suggest, whale watching tours are a fun thing to do when visiting Hawaii. However, keep in mind before deciding to book a cruise that no one controls the animals. Alright, now after that brief disclaimer let's go whale watching. 

Why Hawaii is Good For Whale Watching Tours?

Hawaii is the only state in the United States where humpback whales mate, calve and nurse their young. Humpbacks may find Hawaii suitable because of the warm waters, the underwater visibility, the variety of ocean depths and the lack of natural predators.

Mothers can be seen breaching alongside their calves and males can be seen competing with one another for females in fierce head-to-head battles.

Remember this is the Pacific Ocean

Before making plans to whale watch, keep in mind, the cruise will take place off the Kona Coast where the sea can get rough. Now each whale watching boat is a catamaran and that should reduce the amount of seasickness...it still happens. 

As you make plans for your first whale watching cruise be prepared and consider how you may get sea sick. A healthy plan to see marina life will be better by being prepared. 

Humpback Whales

Typically the humpback whale season is between November and May. This is where the humpback whale watching tours take place. Check the calendar to see when the cruises take place.
