Aloha and welcome aboard!
We had an awesome trip today. The Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) really put on a show and there were lots of oohs and aahs as we were entertained for the better part of three hours. On the Lek, the water was calm and this allowed us to get out to where the whales were performing. After we shut down the engines, they really started to show themselves. As we drifted, the whales began to surface in every direction. Today's statistics were as follows: 22 Humpback Whales, 4 Breaches, 1 Heat-run (5 Males/1 Female), 3 Pec-slaps, 1 Cow-calf-Escort, 1 Close Encounter (2 Whales surfaced right next to the boat), 1 Pod of Nai'a (Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Stenella longirostris). Come join us for an afternoon that you won't soon forget. Till then...Aloha.
