Aloha, With just two more days to go in our 2016/2017 Whale Watch Season, it’s time for me to send out a Mahalo Nui Loa to all of you who have read and commented on our daily Whale Watch Updates. It’s been a pleasure sharing the season – and the sightings – with you! Our …
Aloha, We had a great day on the water on Wednesday, but didn’t see any whales during our 10:00 AM Whale Watch. Our guests have all been invited back to join us on another cruise for FREE. But, since I don’t have any sightings to report, here’s a very sweet story about Humpbacks instead. …
Aloha, We didn’t operate any Whale Watch Cruises on Tuesday, so instead of a recap of our sightings, here’s an interesting story… In the 1890’s, a whaler with very pale and mottled skin by the name of James Bartley claimed that he had been swallowed by a Sperm Whale. He said that he had been …
Aloha, Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise was a lot of fun. We only found one whale, but he was on the surface a lot. We’d watch him spout a couple of times and then dive, only to come up 6 minutes later. We also got to deploy the hydrophone and we heard some …
Aloha, As we near the end of our Whale Watch Season, we’re noticing a marked decline in the number of Humpbacks around our area, but we’re still having a lot of fun on our cruises! On Friday’s Whale Watch Cruise, we didn’t see any Humpbacks at all! We did get to hear them singing when …
Aloha, We were accompanied for most of Thursday’s 10:00 Whale Watch by two Humpbacks…a Mom and her calf. Both of them were pretty big — that calf was definitely not a newborn. Baby stayed on the surface a lot, so we got some great views of him. And though Momma wasn’t on the surface with …
Aloha, The Humpbacks were on crazy long dive times during Wednesday’s Wake up With the Whales Cruise. We had to travel around a lot just to find any of them, and once we did, they’d spout and sound. We saw 4 different Humpbacks during the trip but the sightings weren’t good enough to satisfy Captain …
Aloha, We ran two Whale Watch Cruises from Kawaihae on Tuesday. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise we had to head south…all the way to the Hilton Waikoloa Village before we had some good sightings. We found Momma, Baby and Escort offshore of the resort, and they decided to come over to check …
