The rarity of Orcas in Hawaii prompts the question: Why are they here?

While Orcas don’t communicate their intentions, it’s hypothesized that they followed Humpback Whales from the colder Pacific Northwest waters to the warm coastal waters of Hawaii. Orcas, as apex predators, prey on various marine life, including fish, squid, dolphins, whales, seals, and even Great White Sharks. The presence of Great Whites in Hawaii is also linked to the migration of Humpback Whales, which visit the islands during winter.
