Hi michaelb, we saw the whales breaching a number of times but only got this photo. Perhaps it was partly an assumption that they were humpbacks but I don't recall any doubt. However, they were quite a long way offshore and I am no expert so I can accept that the evidence may not be sufficient. Cheers Mike
