Okay, lots of whale body parts shown here. It is the Humpedback Whale migration time of year. The whales come to the shores of Maui to breed, give birth and feed young before heading back North (western coast of Alaska and Canada mostly).
There were whales everywhere! One boat captain referred to the waters as 'whale soup' which was pretty descriptive.
In the photos you can see the whales exhaling (we could hear them as well), pec fin slapping, showing their tails (for show or indicating a dive) as well as bringing the heads out of the water.
Though we didn't get any photos of it, whales were breaching - that is, jumping out of the water - all around. It was quite spectacular.
These photographs come from three excursions: whale watching, snorkeling at Molokini and a dinner cruise. Snorkeling here was so-so. Dave and I have both been places that are much more clear, with much more colorful color and fish. Still, it was a fun trip. We're glad we did it, but wouldn't do it again.
The dinner cruise was excellent. Beautiful evening, nice meal and an unbeatable setting.
