It's estimated that as many as 10,000 humpback whales travel from Alaska to visit the Hawaiian Islands every winter, starting in November and lasting through about May.
Tropical waters tend to have much less food available to the whales. The main reason humpbacks travel to these warmer locations is not to feed, but to begin the breeding process.
Humpback whale breeding grounds can be found in Hawaii, Central America, Mexico or Asia. Have you seen humpbacks on an UnCruise?
