Humpbacks

In the summer months, as many as seventy humpback whales call the Port McNeill area home.They begin showing up in May, and gorge themselves on krill, herring and other small fish, until it is time for them to return to Hawaii and Mexico, in the late fall. A few even over-winter here. These gentle giants are a favourite of mine, and the sight of a breeching humpback whale is something you will never forget! 

Observe humpbacks diving, breeching, flipper-slapping, and tail-slapping.
