Aloha, Guests on both Manu Iwa’s and Seasmoke’s Thursday Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw spouts from more than 25 different whales…and since we left the bay heading different directions, I’m pretty sure they weren’t the same 25 Humpbacks! Highlights from Manu Iwa’s cruise included watching one adult Humpback who was motionless with just …
Aloha, We had lots of sightings from our Whale Watches on Wednesday. Highlights included a big adult Humpback surprising us by surfacing 30 yards off our starboard rails on Seasmoke’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Before this Humpback sounded, he waved his pectoral fin at us several times. On Manu Iwa’s Wake up with …
Aloha, We operated two different Wake up with the Whales Cruises on Tuesday — one on Manu Iwa, and one on Seasmoke, but guests on both boats were riveted to the activity provided by a pod of 4 whales (we’re pretty sure it was one female and 3 males). Though we saw spouts, dorsal fins, …
Aloha, Guests on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see a lot of action from about 16 different Humpbacks. We found no calves during this cruise, but we did see a wide variety of surface activities. We watched one whale slap his left pectoral fin on the water 8 times before switching to his …
Aloha, Lots to report from our weekend of Whale Watching…Friday was all about the babies. Both our Wake up with the Whales Cruise and our Signature Whale Watch Cruise spent time watching a pod of Mom and Baby. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see the whales resting (or “logging”) …
Aloha, We saw lots of fun stuff on our Whale Watch Cruises on Thursday. Alala began the day with a Special Educational Whale Watch Cruise for 21 three and four year old Montessori School kids from Waimea and their parents and teachers. As usual when we have lots of kids on board, we got to …
Aloha, Guests joining us on Wednesday’s 11:30 Private Whale Watch Cruise got to see something very interesting…but we’re not exactly sure what it was! We spent a considerable amount of time watching two whales interacting a lot at the surface. It’s actually easier to describe what they weren’t doing than what they were doing…While we …
Aloha, You know that saying, “A picture is worth 1000 words”? Well, today, I thought I’d show you a little of what I’ve been reporting for the last month. Mahalo to our crew member Gary for sharing these great images! …
Aloha, Our week started off with a bang as guests were watching two whales breaching before we even left the mooring on our Wake up With the Whales Cruise on Monday. Of course we set a course in their direction, but by the time we got there, they had tired themselves out and were just …
Aloha, We saw some incredible Humpback action this past weekend. Highlights include watching one whale breach 9 times in a row on our Friday 8:00 am Wake up With the Whales. We also watched a different Humpback pec slap so many times we lost count. On our Friday 10:00 Whale Watch from Kawaihae, we saw …
