The Humpback Whales that frequent the waters near the lodge are migratory. Most of the whales in our area head to Hawaii in the winter to mate and have their calves. Biologists are able to identify these whales by taking pictures of the underside of their fluke (tail). These markings are unique and once the whale is mature will not change. They are catalogued and separated according to region and the percentage of white and dark colours. This whale is known as “Guardian.” She is frequently spotted in our waters and has been returning for several years.
