A Hawaii vacation is a magical experience, no matter what you do, but there is something extra special about whale watching on Kauai.
Why Kauai Is a Special Place for Whale Watching
The warm waters surrounding our island home make whale watching on Kauai special. Just like humans, whales prefer the warmth of paradise, and we think they also understand how special they are to us. In Hawaiian culture, the humpback whale is looked at as a guardian spirit, and every time we encounter one of the sacred creatures, it feels even more special.
When Is Whale Season on Kauai?
The season is relatively long, running from November through April, but the best whale watching on Kauai takes place between January and March. During the peak season, watchers can expect to see the whales at their most acrobatic, leaping out of the water and slapping their tails as they wave their pectoral fins. And although January through March is the peak season, in April and May, you may catch sight of mama whales and their tiny (relatively speaking) calves returning to their homes.
Best Ways to See the Whales
There are a couple of ways to see the whales, including climbing to high points to view them from land. The best way to see the whales, however, is on a whale watching tour on Kauai. Kauai Sea Tours, located in Eleele, is a popular tour company offering whale-watching cocktail tours that celebrate the sacred mammals and provide a truly excellent adventure.
