The sight of a whale breaching must rank among the most magnificent natural spectacles on earth! Make it to Hawaii in late February and you can enjoy while helping to ensure the survival of these majestic creatures.
The annual whale count all over Hawaii state gives you not only the opportunity to view these fantastic creatures in their natural habitat, but also to participate in the conservation of humpback whales in a state-wide effort to estimate their population.
Group leaders guide volunteers in a systematic count at selected shorelines and lookout points on three islands, O'Ahu, Kaua'I and Big Island. For those who don't know what they are looking for there are plenty on hand to train you and supply you with the necessary tools. Visit the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuaries website for further details of how to participate.
