Wahi Pana - Papawai Scenic Lookout

When traveling towards Lāhaina, along Highway 30, there is a scenic look out called Papawai Point. Many tourists and locals alike turn into the small parking lot, mauka (sea) side of the highway, to observe the humpback whales that migrate to Hawaiʻi during the month of November through April. Take caution when driving near Papawai Point as the excitement of whales breaching may cause a lot of “rubba-necking” - a.k.a. “rubber-necking” which means to ʻturn your head while passing something or someone.ʻ*
