    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 29, 2016

      Aloha, We had some fantastic Whale Watch Cruise this past weekend. On Friday, on both our Wake up with the Whales Cruise from Anaeho’omalu Bay, and our 10:00 Whale Watch from Kawaihae, we were mugged! Guests on our 8:00 am Cruise watched 4 Humpbacks for more than 45 minutes as they spy hopped and …

    Lazy Dolphins and Energetic Humpbacks

    Dolphin Sightings and Statistics, Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 26, 2016

    Aloha, Since I usually just report about the Humpback sightings we have on our dedicated Whale Watch Cruises, it may seem to you that the Humpback activity closely parallels our Whale Watch Cruise schedule. Of course that isn’t the case — the whales can be active at any time of the day (or night). We …

    Surrounded by Humpbacks

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 25, 2016

    Aloha, We took guests on both Manu Iwa and Seasmoke for Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Since the boats were close to each other for most of the trip, we all had similar experiences — and they were good ones! Throughout the course of the cruise, we saw more than 18 different whales. …

    A Day of Surprises

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 24, 2016

    Aloha, We were pleasantly surprised on our Tuesday Wake up with the Whales Cruise. The swell was pretty big, and as I mentioned yesterday, when that happens it’s sometimes more challenging to find the Humpbacks as they seem to be further out to sea. But that wasn’t the case this time as we saw a …

    A Visit from Mom and Baby

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 23, 2016

    Aloha, We started out our week with a few breaches. Guests on Monday’s 8:00 Wake up with the Whales Cruise noticed the action a couple miles from us as we left the bay, but before we got to the breachers, a mom and calf found us. This pod stayed with us for most of the …

    Weekend Recap

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 22, 2016

    Aloha, What a weekend of whale watching! On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise patience paid off for our guests on Manu Iwa. It took us awhile to find the whales, so when we finally saw some spouts about 200 yards from us, we stopped the boat to see what would happen. We lowered …

    Big Humpback Visits Us

    Dolphin Sightings and Statistics, Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 19, 2016

    Aloha, Those strong trade winds we’ve been experiencing for the past few days really didn’t abate at all on Wednesday night, so we operated both of our Thursday morning Whale Watch Cruises from Kawaihae Harbor (taking advantage of the lee provided by the Kohala mountains). Guests on our Wake up With the Whales Cruise saw two spouts …

    Humpback Sleeping? Or Just Enjoying the Day?

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 18, 2016

    Aloha, On Wednesday, due to the high winds in Waikoloa we ran both of our Whale Watch Cruises from Kawaihae (where the mountain acted as a shield, giving us a lee). On the Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we got to see 6 different whales, but one of them was acting quite peculiarly. He …

    Male or Female?

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 17, 2016

    Aloha, The winds were blowing at Anaeho’omalu Bay on Tuesday, so we weren’t able to run our cruises from there. Luckily for us, there was a lee in Kawaihae, allowing us to take folks out and see the whales safely. Guests joining us on our 10:00 Cruise saw more than a dozen whales — spouts, …

    Whale Breaches at our Bow

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 16, 2016

    Aloha, If you were anywhere near the Kohala Coast on Monday, you know that the surf was up and the winds were blowing. We only got to run one Whale Watch due to the weather, but it was a great one. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw around a dozen different …
