  • They're called humpback whales for a reason...
  • The water was so clear, you could see their flippers!

  • Here was another boat full of excited whale watchers. I was surprised how close the whales came to us. They must be used to all of the gawkers...
  • Several times, we were witness to bubble-net feeding events, where the whales would work together to trap fish in a sea of bubbles, forcing them to the top, where they could easily be devoured!

  • More bubble-net feeding! This was awesome to witness--how the group of whales worked cooperatively to force the smaller fish to the surface.
