Migration, Mating and Calving. Most North Pacific humpbacks that spend their time feeding in southeastern Alaska breed and calve in Hawaii with a small proportion migrating to Mexico. The fastest documented humpback migration from Alaska to Hawaii (2,800 miles) was 36 days. Whales start to arrive in Hawaii in October, numbers peak in mid February and March and most have left by April. Calves usually arrive with their mothers, presumably born along the way, or are born in Hawaii.
