Maui: Whales

We were late to our whale watching tour...made it in the nick of time. This is the boat we were on. Because we were late, we had seats on the outside...so we just sat on the orange part. Here we are on our seats. It was a sunny, but really windy day on Maui.
The whales (humpback) would come so close to our boat. This is a picture of a mother whale with her baby (which you can't see) following our boat.
Me on the whale tour. The water is so blue!

This is a whale who was slapping his tail on the water. He probably did it 30 to 40 times in a row.
This whale was very close and would just hold his tail up in the water...made for a perfect picture opportunity.
Lauren snuggling up to me for warmth. We came to find out that we were very lucky on our first whale watching boat. We saw way more whales than they see on most. We even saw two whales breeching in the distance. (Breeching is when they jump completely out of the water.) We had a lot of fun!
