    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 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, …

    Mystery Interaction

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 21, 2016

    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 …
