Michael Garrison  > Animal Life of Hawaii > Humpback Whales of Maui
Photos in this gallery are grouped by the different types of whale behavior. All of the images are from whale-watching cruises with the Pacific Whale Foundation that sailed out of Ma'alaea Harbor on the Island of Maui. Each year I go on about 40 cruises on the waters of Ma'alaea Bay and the Kealaikahiki Channel between Maui and the Island of Kaho'olawe.

An energetic Humpback calf performing repetitive flukes slaps. I timed this youngster's activity for more than 10 minutes, with a new slap of the tail coming every 2 to 3 seconds. The sound as the flukes hit the surface were very loud and similar to that of a gunshot. 8 March 2013
