A Whale of a Time!

Humpback Whales by HoloHolo ChartersA soft gaze along the oceans horizon will bring to light one the greatest aerial shows Hawaii has to offer. Approximately 4,500 Humpback Whales visit the Hawaiian Islands to bask in the warm waters, breed and give birth before migrating back to their Alaskan feeding grounds.

First sightings are generally in November and peak in February and March.  It is speculated that the great humpback utilize ocean currents, temperature changes, acoustic cues and the earth’s magnetic field to find their way back to the worlds most remote island chain. The duration of their stay is an average of 6 to 8 weeks, with some extending their Hawaii “vacation” to late May or early June.  The humpbacks then return to the icy, food-rich waters of Alaska to feed and replenish in preparation for their next Hawaiian holiday.
