Another day to explore the Na Pali and the weather, wind and seas are again on our side. On the way up we spot spinner dolphins and they seem to be playful but distracted. They are distracted because they are having fun watching the whales and playing with them! They jump and do spins and travel side by side with the whales. We hung with them for quite awhile as the action didn’t seem to quit. We finally went off in search of more whales and sure enough we found them. A female flapping her pectoral fin signaling in several males. A huge whale breached off the back of the boat and everyone was in disbelief at how high it got out of the water.

Today started out to be another beautiful day, and so off we went to the Na Pali Coast. As we approached, the winds from the Northwest hit us head on and all indications were that the winds would continue to increase. It still wasn’t too rough so we made our way up a little further. The seas got to the point that it was time to go find some humpback whales. Just after turning around there she blows.
A breach right off the boat. The whales were very cooperative and gave us another great show.

Off we go again towards the North Shore and the Na Pali Coast. Upon return from our day trip to Na Pali, we come across a mother Humpback and her calf, which we figure is probably only two to three weeks old. He is a lively little guy and soon he breaches the surface, frolicking and having a great time.
