5,000 whales weighing upwards of 40 tons make the trek from Alaska to Hawaii each year. Maui has proved to be the gathering place for mating. Whales migrate to Malaea Bay on Maui each year. The trip takes approximately 3 months. Whales swim only as fast as their offspring which is about 8 mph. The fastest recorded travel time is about 39 days. Most are usually starving by the time they return to Alaska.
Each family has their own curtain of calls.
