I was on a 2 hour trip with Pacific Whale Foundation where we experienced 2 major whale breaches where the whales jump out of the water. I got a photo of the nearest one:

The guide and the captain said that breaches this close to the boat only happened 4-5 times per year, so we were quite lucky.
The whales go to Hawaii in the winter for mating and calving, while they travel to Alaska and Bering Sea in the summer to feed.
Onboard the boat there was paper where you could sign up for protesting against Japan, Iceland and Norway's whaling-activities. I didn't sign up...
