They are often spotted between Rabbit Island and Makapu'u Point. Lana'i lookout, the Blowhole lookout, and Sandy Beach are also areas of frequent sightings. Binoculars are recommended for a close-up view, but many behaviors can be seen with the naked eye. Watch for splashing caused by surface activity. Whales often have periodic blow and splash patterns, making frequent shallow dives before a longer, deeper dive.
Humpbacks are the most acrobatic of whales with many behaviors visible at the surface.
