Latest News! The Whales are back!
November 11, 2005 Pacific Whale
Foundation reports 2 sitings of Whales off Maui's coast!
Few visitors realize that Pacific
Humpback Whales are sighted as late as June in Maui County 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.
