Welcome to Hawaii whale season (Dec - March)! Before you book a whale tour, here are 7 mistakes you should avoid when whale watching on the Hawaiian Islands. After many whale-watching adventures in Hawaii, here is what we have learned.

Humpback whales migrate down from Alaska to the warm waters of Hawaii from December to mid-April every year. They come to mate, birth, and nurse their young. Whale-watching tours are a safe and respectful way to view these magnificent mammals in their natural habitat. We hope these tips help with your Hawaii vacation!
