Hawaii Whale Watching Tours

(From: $52.90 - To: $75.00)

Whale watching in Big Island of Hawaii is one of the most popular of all activities on the Big Island.

Unlike other locations in Hawaii, the Big Island is not only the seasonal home for the famous Humpback whales but is also home year round to a selection of Sperm whales, Pilot whales, Pygmy Killer whales, the Melon Headed whales and the rare beaked whales. There are about 78 species of whales in the Order Cetacea. Cetaceans are classified into two subgroups, Mysticeti or "baleen whales", and Odontoceti or "toothed whales". Generally the toothed whales are found further off shore and can be often seen on one of the famous Kona coast fishing charters that ply the deep waters off the Big Island of Hawaii.

No other whale however matches the glitz and pizzazz of the active Humpback Whales which show up from roughly December through April. Big Island of Hawaii whale watching trips abound through this period with Kona whale watching trips being the most prominent. These beautiful animals make their annual journey from the waters off Alaska tothe waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. Here they mate, cavort and give birth to their young. You can often see babies which were just born traveling with their mothers and learning how to dive, slap their fins or flukes and breach high into the air. One interesting fact about these new born calves is that they grow at the incredible rate of about 100 lbs a day strictly from the milk they receive from their mothers.

Speaking of food, another incredible fact about these annual visits is that the whales, while they are in Hawaiian waters, actually do no eating whatsoever. They just live off the bounty of stored fat they accumulated while feasting on plankton, krill shrimp and other crustaceans in the Pacific waters of North America. And while we’re discussing unusual facts, lets also mention that the lung capacity of full grown Humpback is approximately the volume that would be take up by a Volkswagen bug. No wonder they can stay submerged for as long as an hour at a time.

There are a very large variety of whale watching trips. Big Island of Hawaii whale watches generally leave both mornings and afternoons.

  • Morning is usually the best time for whale watching. The ocean is flat, making the whales easier to spot.
  • Zodiac rafts are extremely exciting but not recommended for pregnant women or those with bad backs.
  • Children love whale watching! The price for kids is usually half of the adult fare. Larger boats provide them with room to run around.
