Aloha, We had a wonderful weekend of Whale Watching.We ran so many different cruises that there’s no way I can tell you about everything that happened…so here are a few highlights. On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise we spent most of our cruise watching a pod of three adult Humpbacks interacting. We got …
Aloha, Guests joining us on Thursday’s Whale Watch Cruises were treated to pretty much every surface activity you can think of. On Manu Iwa’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we found a mom and her calf just outside of the Bay and watched the two of them each breach about a dozen times They …
Aloha, The weather and ocean calmed down on Wednesday, and guests joining us on our Wake up With the Whales Cruise got to see at least 15 different Humpbacks. Highlights included a competitive pod of 5 whales, lots of pec slaps and even more tail lobs. We also got an opportunity to deploy our hydrophone …
Aloha, Guests on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw more than 15 different Humpbacks — maybe 20. We enjoyed watching them surface, spout and sound between 200 and 400 yards from us on all sides of the boat. They seemed to maintain this pattern for almost the whole cruise, and then as we …
Aloha, Guest’s on Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales got to see a lot of whales. Though it was pretty windy out there and we couldn’t just stop the boat to watch them, we saw plenty of spouts, lots of breaches (including a spectacular double breach within 100 yards of us) and even some pec …
Aloha, Our weekend started out with quite the show. On Friday’s 10:00 Whale Watch from Kawaihae, we found a pod of probably 200 very playful Spinner Dolphins just out of the harbor (or should we say, they found us). As we watched them play with the boat, we also saw spouts and splashes from lots …
Aloha, We had some great sightings on our Friday Wake up with the Whales Cruise, Not only did we have 4 whales swim literally 30 feet beneath our boat (visibility was great, so we could see all of them very clearly), but we also got to hear some very loud singing when we deployed the …
Aloha, We had a fun day on the water on Wednesday. We took both Seasmoke and Manu Iwa out for the Breakfast with the Whales Cruise. Our captains kept the boats fairly close to each other so guests on both boats shared similar experiences and sightings. We each got to watch a Mother and her …
Aloha, On our Tuesday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise on Seasmoke we found ourselves in our favorite dilemma. With two Humpbacks spouting on our port side and another two Humpbacks spouting on our starboard side, which way do we look? We also had an opportunity to deploy our hydrophone during this cruise, and while …
Aloha, Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise on Seasmoke started out kind of mellow. We weren’t seeing a whole lot, so we stopped the boat and dropped the hydrophone. While we were listening to the whales singing from farther away, a juvenile Humpback popped up really close to us. We watched him till he …
