Every day we hear passengers saying their heartfelt wish is to see whales close up. For the past 19 days straight we have not been disappointed. Each day behaviors are logged as are proximity of visits and these animals never cease to amaze. According to researchers, if this population of North Pacific humpbacks continue to grow, it is very possible they could reach pre-whaling numbers in about 50 years. A world without whales is simply unthinkable. It was Jacques Cousteau who said “if we cannot save the whales, how can we save ourselves?”.
We love them. That is a fact. People have a fascination of ocean animals, and possibly even more so, animals that are enormous. Whale watching season in Hawaii is nearly half over. There are literally hundreds of whales in Hawaiian waters this time of year. Researchers feel that possibly 4000 animals migrate here. Coming to Hawaii? Visiting the islands without going on a whale watch tour should be unthinkable! See you on board.
