Whale Watching in Hawai`i. Humpback whales visit Hawaiian waters each year from November to May with the peak of the season being from January to March. There are a variety of ways in which you can catch a glimpse of Hawaiâiâs humpback whales. Boat tours and whale watching cruises have become increasingly popular.
In Hawaii, whale watching is an avid activity, and like with most outdoors activities, there are rules. Observers may not approach by vessel or by swimming within 100 yards of a whale (known as the 100-yard minimum rule). However, there is no rule that keeps whales from approaching people.
