Hawaii’s “fifth” season of the year – Whale Watch Season – has officially begun with the recent sighting of this 15-foot baby humpback whale off Waikiki Beach. Seen and photographed by the crew of Atlantis Submarines, the baby whale is one of thousands of humpback whales that will spend the winter months in the warmth of the Hawaiian Islands, with the adult whales having migrated thousands of miles from the chilly North Pacific to breed and nurse their young. This baby whale spent several minutes curiously examining Atlantis’s submarine before swimming away to find its mother.
