In an untimely appearance, a humpback whale was spotted in Maui waters off the coast of Lahaina on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 25, 2016, ahead of the traditional whale season in Hawaiian waters.

The humpback whale season continues in Hawaiʻi with active pods performing some interesting behavior, including a “tail sail” that caught the attention of Sanctuary scientists and breathtaking breaches captured by local photographers here on Maui.
