And the snorky goes to…

Every winter in Maui, the world’s largest mammals and the world’s proudest (that’s us), gather together to check each other out.  The outcome is usually stunning, often hilarious, and always spectacular.  Here are our Snorky picks for the best 15 second whalewatch videos uploaded to Instagram in 2015.

#7 – Best Whale Jump

We’re always shocked at how big these whales are when they get out of the water.

 #4 – Best blow

Blowing is one of the central expressions of a whale.  Let’s just say, this is a good one.
