We were all a bit aprehensive about this trip as the sea had been fairly rough earlier in the week but it proved to be an excellent trip and nobody was seasick. Within 20 minutes of leaving harbour we had spotted our first whale and from then on it was all action. The skipper had received a message from another boat that there were several whales and a school of dolphins about 2 miles away so off we went and soon were surrounded by dozens of Spinner Dolphins. These are only found in Hawaii and they love to perform near the boats. They leap out of the water and spin as much as 6 times in the air. They also like to keep the company of the Whales so soon there were 3 Whales and all the Dolphins round the boat. Just as we were about to leave another huge Whale breached within 100 yards of the boat. This was a tremendous site as it did this 3 times in quick succession, but unfortunately none of us managed to get a photograph of it.
