What was the date of your photo and trip to Maui?

December 2010

What is the location of your Maui photo?

We were on a snorkeling trip on Aikane X5 when we came across a small pod of whales about a mile out from Honolua Bay.

Tell us about your photo.

The beauty and magnificence of the whales in Maui always amazes me. When we saw this whale breach with a dolphin on his side we were lucky enough to have a camera out, and my uncle Don Kellam snapped this amazing shot. On our Maui snorkeling and whale watch trips we regularly see whales, and dolphins, but not typically playing with each other like this!
