Maui Whale watching.

Humpback whales were once plentiful in oceans worldwide. The global population was depleted by the commercial whaling industry at the start of the 20th century. Now, as many as 12,000 animals may migrate to Hawai‘i each year. This endangered species is slowly making a comeback to its estimated pre-whaling population of 15,000 to 20,000 animals.

Humpback whales spend summer months feeding on zooplankton and small fish that flourish in the colder, nutrient-rich waters of temperate and sub-polar regions like Alaska. Their annual migration to the tropics during winter is an amazing feat that is not yet fully understood. It’s believed that humpbacks follow cues of temperature, ocean currents, and the earth’s magnetic field to navigate nearly 3,000 miles of open ocean. Once in warmer waters, the whales engage in mating, calving, and nursing activities.
