From December through March, an estimated 10,000 humpback whales travel from Alaska to Hawaii’s warm waters to breed, give birth, and nurse their calves. Hawaii is the only U.S. state where humpbacks reproduce, making whale season a spectacular and uniquely Hawaiian experience.
Dolphins need their daytime rest. We observe from respectful distances and never chase pods. This protects their health and ensures they continue to call Kona home.
Spinner dolphins can be seen year-round in Kona. Morning tours offer the best chances as dolphins are often in nearshore bays before heading offshore to feed.
