On the last day of our trip we went on a whale watching tour. It was about a 3 hour boat ride and we saw probably 3o Humpback whales. It was really neat! We also got to see a mama and baby swimming together. We learned that the whales migrate to Hawaii during the winter months and go to Alaska during the summer months. Their blow is a double stream of spray that rises 10-13 feet above the surface of the water. The deeply-notched flukes (tail) are up to 12 feet wide.
This is the baby we saw. It breached over and over again.

The spout is the first sign that there is a whale under the water.
