Aloha, We had a wonderful time on Thursday’s 10:00 Whale Watch from Kawaihae. We spent the first part of the cruise heading towards spouts we saw to the south of us. Each time we’d arrive at the spot where we had seen a spout, the whales were already long gone. But we finally we saw …
Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see spouts in every direction we looked! All these whales were in the “blow and go” mode…surfacing, spouting and diving again. We spent some time at idle, and once again, patience paid off when a pod of two whales surfaced about 100 yards …
Aloha, Both Manu Iwa and Seasmoke left the bay at 8:00 carrying guests to take a look at the Humpbacks on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Guests on each boat had similar experiences, seeing somewhere around 15 different Humpbacks. We saw lots of “blowing and going” as the whales surfaced, spouted a few …
Aloha, Guests joining us on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw 6 different Humpbacks. Most of the time we were watching spouting and sounding behaviors from a lone whale who was on 10 – 15 minute dives. Towards the end of the cruise, we saw some action in front of the Hilton Waikoloa …
Aloha, We ran quite a few trips this past weekend…and saw too much to report in detail, so here are some highlights. On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise we saw 6 different Humpbacks, including one who breached 5 times just 100 yards from us. We also saw pec slapping and tail lobbing from …
Aloha, Guests on Thursday’s Wake up with the Whale Cruise saw 6 different Humpbacks. Our close-by Humpbacks were all surfacing, spouting, and then sounding again…but we did see some pec slapping and a full breach about a half a mile away from us. The coolest sighting of the morning though, was not of a Humpback …
Aloha, We woke up to a little wind, which made the ocean a bit choppy for Wednesday’s 8:00 Wake up with the Whales Cruise…but as is often the case, when the ocean conditions are exciting, the behaviors we see from the Humpbacks are exciting too. We got to see 8 different humpbacks during this cruise, one …
Aloha, Guests on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise from Anaeho’omalu Bay got a good look at 3 different Humpbacks who surfaced about 100 yards from us several times. They seemed to be on 12 – 15 minute dives, but each time they’d stay on the surface, spouting and seemingly catching their breaths for …
Aloha, Guests joining us on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see 7 different Humpbacks outside of Anaeho’omalu Bay. Some of these whales were pretty active too – we saw lots of pec slapping and tail lobbing. Most of the time, we were watching them from about 300 yards away, but we …
Aloha, Our weekend was dominated by some winter weather. Before it hit, we ran Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise on Alala from Kawaihae. Throughout the course of that cruise, we saw six different Humpbacks, but spent the majority of our time watching a pair who surfaced every 5 – 8 minutes to spout …
