Few
visitors realize that Pacific Humpback Whales are sighted as
late as June in Hawaii waters. During this later part of the
season, watchers can view some exciting "heated up"
pod action. Another thing to consider is a newborn calf may
not be at the weight its mother is comfortable with the long
journey north. So, the cow will hang around Maui's "bathtub"
waters longer than we think, waiting for her calf to fatten
up. Remember, there's a mega-amount of miles to swim before
they reach Alaskan waters!
Some
boats are equipped with Whale-Cam, a state-of-the art monitor
and video system to observe whales from above and below water.
We
can now assume that there are well over 4,000 humpbacks visiting
Hawaiian waters during the season.
