Whale Watching Honolulu Waikiki Oahu
 Each
winter, Honolulu, Waikiki and Oahu in general are the focus point for
whale watching boats, whale watching cruises and the return to Oahu of
the majestic humpback whale.
The whale watching season is usually under way by the 15th of December
and usually lasts through Easter. The very best months are February
and March when sightings are almost guaranteed. Oahu whale watching is
a particular delight for visitors coming to Hawaii to escape the
winter chill and these humpback whales can often be seen from the
shoreline of Waikiki or Honolulu.
The best way to observe them however is by taking one of the many
whale watch tours on one of a variety of whale watch boats off the
coast of Oahu. Pick-up and return are generally provided from
your Waikiki hotel. Whale watch cruises usually last about 2 hours
which is plenty of time to visit these gentle humpback giants of the
sea. Almost all cruises will include whale naturalists to explain the
fascinating whale behavior such as breaching, sounding and the various
mating rituals displayed. As the humpbacks come this time of year to
give birth and to mate (they eat virtually no food during the months
they spend in Hawaii) you can often see baby humpbacks swimming
closely with their mothers.
As an added bonus, should you decide to take one of the cruises that
departs from the Wainae or leeward coast (about a 45 minute drive from
Waikiki----some whale watch companies provide pick-up) you may have
the additional treat of being able to see (and often swim with)
dolphins as well.
In any event, if you're here in Hawaii during the winter months (or
better yet you should plan to be in Hawaii during the winter months)
be sure to take one of our many whale watching cruises to see the
spectacular humpback whale. |
