5th Street Ohana – A Vacation Rental In Volcano, Hawaii

Whale Season

While you may know that 5th Street Ohana is located in Volcano Village, only a few miles from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, it is as well located only 30 minutes from popular whale watching spots. 

Indeed, 5th Street Ohana is a great central location for the eastern side of the Big Island. And right now, it’s prime whale season. Humpback whales migrate from Alaska to the Hawaiian waters from November through April. Although, January through March are the more popular months. The whales migrate to give birth in the warm waters and nurse their young until it’s time to travel back to Alaska, to their feeding grounds. Believe it or not the whales actually do not eat while they are here, they rest and nurse and of course play! Who doesn’t like playing in Hawaiian Waters?

If you’re staying with us or planning a future trip, coming to 5th Street Ohana during these months are perfect to see the diversity of the Big Island. It may be a little wetter and cooler on the eastern side of the island, but I think it’s worth it to experience whales, snow, and so much more.
