Make a Date with a Whale
Hawaii’s biggest and most beloved visitors – the North
Pacific humpback whales – are now arriving for their annual winter holiday,
marking the start of whale-watching season in the Islands.
An estimated 2,000 to 5,000 humpbacks migrate from
Alaska each year to breed and calve in Hawaii’s warm coastal waters, the
only national marine sanctuary dedicated to whales and their habitat. From
mid-December to mid-April – the peak whale-watching months – thousands of
whale enthusiasts climb aboard one of Hawaii’s many tour vessels to get a
closer look at these magnificent mammals.
With lots of tail-slapping action to be found not far
from shore, it’s little wonder that humpbacks are the most watched whales in
the world.
Planning a trip to Hawaii this winter? You can make
your own date with the humpbacks at
www.hawaiiactivities.com where more than a dozen whale-watching
activities are available on the four main islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and
Hawaii. From high-speed raft excursions along the Kona Coast to catamaran

mouse-click away!
