This site contains general information about Hawaii's cetaceans and more specific information on humpback whales off the Kona Coast of Hawaii.
You will have to pardon the lack of guestbook as it was overwhelmed daily by dozens and dozens of ads (some offensive) deposited there by automated "bots" that cruise the web looking for guestbooks to mess with. Because of this, the guestbook page has been disabled. I am seeking solutions and may resurrect it in the future.
The official 2009 season started in mid December and we had great sitings this year. A new boat with three times the speed and range gave us the ability to cover a MUCH larger area in three hours and gave us extended viewing opportunities by minimizing travel time. The whales off the Kona coast have been increasing in number over the years and although Maui is considered to be the best island for viewing whales, the Kona coast is home to numerous humpbacks and multiple resident cetacean species and has the largest leeward area of all the islands.
