The migration of the koholā (North Pacific Humpback Whales) every year is a homecoming. The whales migrate from Alaska to Hawai‘i to breed and nurse their young. From December to May they are visible off the coast of every Hawaiian island. There is a deep history of whales in Hawaiian culture. Some Hawaiians believe that the koholā serve as ‘aumākua (family guardians). So when you are visiting our home, please treat these gentle giants with respect and watch from a distance when on a boat. 🐋
