Top 10 Whale-Watching Destinations

Hawaii

Each winter, droves of visitors migrate to the tropical paradise of Hawaii at the same time as the state's animal, the humpback whale, also makes its way to the Aloha State from the northern Pacific. The clear waters surrounding the islands provide visibility of up to 100 feet below the surface, making for incredibly easy sightings between the peak late-November to mid-April season. While whales tend to visit all of the islands, Maui is their number-one watering hole, with many species gathering, at some point, along the southern and western shores between Wailea, Kihei, Lahaina, and Ka’anapoli.
