WHY WHALE WATCHING TOURS IN KONA ARE THE BEST
Whale watching tours in Kona offer the perfect opportunity to watch humpback whales on the island.
Every winter, a large number of humpback whales start their lengthy journey from Alaska to Hawaii. Humpback whales migrate to Hawaii for two important reasons: mating and giving birth to young calves. They leave their native habitat and main feeding grounds in Alaska to do so.
Humpback whales can perform these two crucial tasks safely in the warm, protected seas off Hawaii. Every year, between December and April, you can take a trip down the Kona Coast to see humpback whales battling for the attention of females, mothers training their babies to dive, and if you’re very lucky, you’ll spot a newborn calf.
Kona and the Kohala Coast are two of the best areas to see these gentle giants interacting with one another and living in their natural habitat. The humpback whale migration from Alaska to the warm waters of Hawaii to mate and give birth lasts from late November to early May. Anyone can see these magnificent animals, and Kona is a great site to do so thanks to its tranquil, deep seas and sunny weather.
In Kona, Hawaii, you can observe whales from the beach or from a location nearby where you can see the ocean. While whale watching doesn’t take any special knowledge or training—you only need to look for spouting and large splashes. But the best way to enjoy whale watching on the island is to join whale watching tours in Kona.
