What a great way to spend our anniversary.
This is not my photography and I did not get a great shot at the dolphins but they followed our boat on many occasions. We also seen some spinner dolphins they are smaller and jump high out of the water and do a spin in the air. They were fun to watch and they seemed to be following the whales.
We saw lots of humpback whales along the Na Pali Coast, this also is not my photography but they were very tricky to catch because the boat is moving with the waves and they only come out of the water for a second. This is what we seen them doing. The whales can be seen in Hawaii from Dec.- April so we were at the very end of the season but we seen them everywhere. The whales come to Hawaii for the winter to give birth, mate, and nurse their young before heading back to Alaska where they eat all summer long.
Beautiful! Na Pali coast
Hey I actually did catch a fin coming out of the water.
Ty was able to go scuba diving, he had a blast, I think the neatest thing was that he was able to hear the whales under the water.
I stuck to snorkeling while Ty was scuba diving at one point I was surrounded by fish and I came up to take a break from the mask that I couldn't seem to stop breathing through my nose with. When I did so I realized that the captain of our boat had thrown some pretzels out. I had heard that they will sometimes go into a feeding frenzie and I didn't want any part of that so I started splashing them away as quick as I could. Right after that I heard someone in the water yell Shark! I looked at them and they seemed to be fine so I thought that they were joking. I looked at the boat and the captain was watching us and he didn't say anything either. I continued to snorkel and when I came back up I was the only one left in the water. I went back to the boat and was later told that there was a baby shark spotted in the water. I am glad that I did not learn that while I was out there, because I would have panicked.
What a fun trip!
