WEST OAHU WHALE WATCH TOUR

See Humpback Whales Off The West Coast Of Oahu

5/5 (517 Reviews)

E very winter, thousands of humpback whales leave their home and primary food source in the cold Alaskan waters to migrate to Hawaii. The reason so many whales travel here during the winter is to mate, and also to give birth to new calves. Hawaii's warm and protected waters offer a safe environment for humpback whales to reproduce. From December to April every year you will be able to observe male humpback whales competing for a female's attention, mothers teaching their calves how to dive, and if you are very lucky a calf that has just been born.
