When Do the Humback Whales Migrate into Mexican & Hawaiian Waters

[mcrcruiser]

We think we are  safe to see the Whales in  early December in Mexican waters & in Feb in Hawaiian waters . So we book cruise with HAL for that very reason 😃

In January this year we were surrounded by whales while entering the waters of Lahaina.  Quite a sight.

January and February are whale season. They mainly are found in west Maui. You should be able to see some around the west coast of the Island of Hawaii as well.

Actually the whale watch operators season starts in mid December, and runs to about April 10. Smaller numbers of whales are present outside of that season.

 

If the OP's ship stops at Kahului, they could do whale watch trips out of Ma'alaea Harbor to the Wailea area. There will be some whales there.
