We can hardly pull out of the harbor these days without seeing whales right away. The humpbacks are out and about and their numbers seem greater than years prior on Kauai. Their activity level has increased as we are seeing more and more males competing for the females. We saw several males kind of doing a domination thing with one other, swimming back and forth aggressively, and getting very close to each other.

We have also been seeing a lot more of our Spinner dolphin friends. The spinners can’t keep from having fun when we show up and many were jumping, spinning and riding the bow of our boat. We also saw a humpback triple-breach right off the bow of our raft.
