WHY DO HUMPBACKS COME TO HAWAII?
They migrate about 3,000 miles from Alaska to calve and mate in warm, shallow water that protects young whales from predators. Males sing complex songs only during this season.
HOW THE CRUISE RUNS
The tour leaves daily at 2:30pm. Naturalists search for humpbacks and explain their behavior, from breaching to tail and fin slapping. When conditions allow, the boat stops so you can snorkel with turtles and fish; wear your swimsuit and bring a towel.
