Humpback whales are migrating right now in the sub-tropical waters along Okinawa and through the Keramas, which is a small island chain just an hour boat ride away.
We think they might be the most gorgeous islands we’ve ever seen and watching these beautiful behemoth mammals jumping through the water just off of them was incredible.
Have you gone whale watching before? Maybe off of Cali?

If you’re looking for an idea for dinner tonight, I’m sharing one of our favorite meals on my friend Kelly’s blog, Eat Yourself Skinny (:

SOOOOO incredible girl! I love the 2nd to last one. We got to go whale watching off Vancouver 2 years ago and got caught in a super pod…85 killer whales…it was amazing. I will never forget it!

I love the ocean and I love swimming in it but I am DEATHLY afraid of whales. Like, I have major issues with them. Even so, I think these photos are gorgeous. I cannot believe how perfectly you captured them.
Bailey Schneider says

Amazing pictures! I went whale watching this time last year in Maui, and I got about 100 pictures of a dark mass in the ocean that looks like it could or could not be a whale. We saw a lot of great breaches, but my camera was not up to snuff. Have a great week!
Ash says

How awesome! Whale watching is on my bucket list (as I'm sure it is on most peoples!) They are such awesome animals!
Oh, I read your section "Our Love Story" the other day as I was catching up on blogs and I must say that it is inspiring! I love how you sent him cookies and called him ๐ I'll have to do that when I meet a man that strikes my fancy! And if you know any single military men, send them my way! ๐
Alex says

Gorgeous photos! I've been whale watching near where I grew up outside of SF, but I've never seen something quite like this! xo
laurenjeanallece says
I love humpbacks! We went whale watching here in Oregon last month (gray whales!) but they were about 2 miles off the coast so we could only see them through binoculars (still just unfathomably beautiful!)
Gorgeous pictures!!
kyna... says
Oooh, we're going whale watching pretty soon too! Sometime before March! I hope we see as many as you saw! ๐

Oh my goodness! These pictures are spectacular! For whatever reason….I've never gone whale watching, despite living in Cali and Australia ๐ I would love to and your pictures are definitely the kick in the butt I needed. Of course, I also need to figure out the right time of year.
Candice says
Truly amazing! It's a bit odd that I haven't seen any here in NZ (that I can remember)…although recently I nearly did on the ferry between the Nth & Sth islands. Definitely a must see, I think!
