Additional Information
Humpback whales are in Hawaii to mate and give birth. They migrate from Alaska and the Bering sea where they feed during the summer. The most common sighting for Island Divers Hawaii has been a mother with her calf and possible one other adult or juvenile whale. Large groups and single adults are also sighted.
Additional Information
Humpback whales are in Hawaii from Nov to May. However the peak of the whale season is Jan to March. Island Divers runs charters from after Christmas to April 15th. This limited schedule gives us the greatest chance to have every charter interact with humpback whales.
Other common sea life sightings on a whale watching are flying fish, green sea turtles, spinner dolphins, bottle nose dolphins, many varieties of sea birds, and rarely a Hawaiian monk seal.

We recommend that persons not acclimated to open sea conditions take a sea sickness preventative medicine approximately at least one hour before coming aboard. It is a small percentage of people that get ill, but a very high percentage of those say I've never been sea sick before! An even higher percentage of those people who did get sea sick wish they had taken this advice. It's only a recommendation, but it is a good one if you want to play it safe.
We do not recommend bringing children under 5 years of age aboard the vessel. One, because the life jackets do not fit. And two, because a sea sick child at sea can ruin other adults experience in this intimate setting.
