In September 2023 Jan and I spent 24 days in the Cook Islands, with 9 days on Aitutaki Island. Our passion is snorkelling, so we spent a lot of time snorkelling inside and outside the reef.
Between July and October, the Humpback Whales will pass through the Cook Islands during their 4,000 mile journey as they migrate from cooler feeding grounds in the Southern Hemisphere to warmer waters to mate and give birth. Of course, you will only see the whales outside of the reef.
While snorkelling there we were lucky to not only see the Humpback Whales, including Humpback Calves, but to also hear them communicate and sing.
Scientists believe that Humpback whales make song and non-song calls. However, it is only the males who can, and do sing.
