Hawaii Wildlife is a Precious Resource that must  be protected.

Hawaii’s wildlife has been isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for thousands of years giving the many species time to develop into a vast array of unique life forms that provide constant surprises.

From colorful tropical fish, spinner dolphins, and humpback whales in the sea to rare forest birds in the mountains to the Hawaiian boars foraging in the upland swamps, there is no shortage of wildlife to see in Hawaii. There are several books for more detailed descriptions and location maps for the different animals. People interested in Hawaiian wildlife can check out a Hawaii Travel Guide for tour information and best travel practices, including safety, local customs, and seasonal migration patterns and habits.

Perhaps the most impressive wildlife to see in the Islands is the humpback whale. Weighing more than 40 tons, these behemoth mammals leap from the sea in spectacular breaches during the winter months. The whales can often be seen from the shore, particularly in the shallow waters around Maui. The best way to ensure great humpback viewing, however, is by taking a whale watching boat cruise.

Another advantage of a boat tour is that spinner dolphins often ride in the bow waves of the boats providing guests with a close-up view of these amazing creatures of the sea. Spinner dolphins love to jump from the water and do flips and spins in the air right before your eyes.
