Sharks, Whales and Dolphin Viewing
Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site
Sharks, Whales and Dolphins are often visitors to the shores of the park and can be seen with the naked eye and, even better, with binoculars.
Viewing marine life in its natural habitat is a very special activity as it connects the visitor with wildlife it doesn't normally see. Many visitors enjoy watching the variety of sea life that live and play off of the Park's shoreline. During the winter months, humpback whales are a very common sight. Throughout the year, black-tipped reef sharks come into Pelekane Bay (the best time to see them is usually in the early morning). As well, spinner dolphins can sometimes be seen frolicking in the ocean.
