That's gotta be a rush to experience firsthand. It is one subject that
I think I would definitely prefer to take a video camera to capture,
over a still camera.

That may be true.  On almost every whale watch I have been on, at
least one whale approaches the boat quite closely, especially if the
motors are off.
They have come so close that the wide end of the 50-200 zoom I had on
the camera wasn't wide enough.

That is the case, Ken.  The waters off Maui are included in the
Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, and there
are rather strict regulations to protect the whales.   The Whales are
here to give birth and to breed.  They don't eat anything from the
time they leave the Gulf of Alaska until they return there several
weeks later.  (In fact, there is nothing here for them to eat.)  The
regulations are primarily to protect the new-born calves, until they
are large enough and strong enough to make the journey north to the
feeding waters/

The rules are a little more flexible off the coast of Alaska and in
the North Atlantic, as the whales there are feeding and storing up
energy for the next migration, and not quite as sensitive to human
disturbances.  We did a whale watch out of Gloucester, MA, years ago,
and the boats there approached much more closely to the whales than
the boats here are permitted to do.

Yeah, it's against the law to get so close you're "harassing" the whales.

And it did look like the kayakers THOUGHT they were at a safe distance;
following the rules. Until all of a sudden - surprise, surprise - they
weren't.

Just don't get too close to them in a kayak or it might be the LAST item

Yikes!  Scary!  I’m not a kayaker, so no problem there.  My bucket list says,

I think everyone is missing the big picture here, one shouldn't make fun 
of a poor unfortunate creature based on it's appearance, humpback indeed.

It is indeed amazing.  I am always thrilled when one breaches near our
boat.  I go out every year, at least twice, and the experience never
becomes routine.

Thanks for looking, Christine.
