My parents and I went whale watching and got some amazing closeup time with a mother and cub humpback whale!
My best shot of the a humpback whale. We didn't see any good spouts or whale tails (at least none when I had my camera around). Whale-watching season in Hawaii is December-April, so we caught the tail end of it.

“Why do whales breach out of the water?
Breaching. Breaching is a form of surfacing behaviour where most or all of the whale's body leaves the water. Many species do this, but some, such as humpbacks, seem to breach more frequently. There are many theories as to why whales do this: to communicate, attract other whales, or warn off other males.”
