Lanai Pineapple Festival 2024
Lanai Pineapple Festival 2024
The season for whale watching is November through May. The best islands for seeing the most whales are Maui, O‘ahu, or the Island of Hawai‘i. Since whales love more shallow waters, the ‘Au‘au Channel between Maui and Lāna‘i is the perfect spot for sightings. 🐋
Whales have been a strong symbol in Hawaiian culture dating back hundreds of years. On Palaoa Hill, located on Lāna‘i, there are petroglyphs depicting a man on the back of a whale. Sperm whales specifically were sacred to aliʻi (royalty). Necklaces made from their teeth and bones represented the strength of the gods and their mana (spirit).
