What are the dates that Whale Season runs.? Thinking of visiting end of March next year and wondering if that is too late. Can you see the whales and take trips from Kauai or is it just mostly Maui?
Thanks

Maui is where you want to be to see whales. The season can run from November to April but the largest numbers will be January through mid March. You can see them outside of those times but not in the numbers.

HVC: The Point at Poipu, 3 deeded weeks, 1 of which is in The Club.
If you want your best chance to see them, go to Maui and take a boat tour.

With regard to Kauai, we see them along the north shore (for us in mid January to mid February from the lighthouse moving west to Ke’e) but not in the abundance that we have seen them on the south shore of Maui. In addition, the channel they choice seems to be further from shore, making binoculars a must for mature eyes.

You generally can see them from early/mid Dec to late Feb from any island, not just Maui.
