Aloha, We had some height-of-the-season whale sightings on Tuesday’s cruises. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we spent the first hour or so just cruising around looking at (and enjoying) spouts and flukes and dorsal fins from more than a dozen different Humpbacks. We stopped the boat for awhile to deploy the hydrophone …
Aloha, We had a lot of fun with the Humpbacks on Monday. We took out two boats for our Wake up with the Whales Cruise and though we left from the same place at the same time, guests on each boat had different experiences. Those who joined us on Manu Iwa were watching whales even before …
Aloha, What a beautiful start to our weekend of Whale Watching. On our Signature 10:00 Whale Watch from Kawaihae on Friday, we saw spouts from more than 12 Humpbacks. Highlights from this cruise included watching one pod of two relatively small whales breach at least 15 times (one breached 10, and the other one around …
Aloha, Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise started with a bang. We had barely left the bay when we came across a competitive pod of 3 whales. They were kind of hard to keep up with as they seemed to be doing most of their competing under water, and then popping up all around …
Aloha, It was another windy day on Wednesday, and it was a great day for whale watching. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw more than 25 different Humpbacks. Pod size varied…and so did activity. We saw breaches, pec slapping, peduncle throwing and all kinds of head lunging. We also saw a …
Aloha, We had a great day on the water on Tuesday! It was a little breezy…but boy, the whales were everywhere. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw 30 – 35 different Humpbacks (and I’m not exaggerating). Unlike yesterday, these whales were really active on the surface. We saw breaching, double breaching, …
Aloha, The southwesterly wind that caused us to cancel much of our day on Sunday switched to strong trade winds on Monday…but we were still able to run a few of our cruises.We took out two boats for our Wake up with the Whales Cruise from Anaeho’omalu Bay. On Manu Iwa, we found a little pocket of …
Aloha, We have lots to report from our weekend Whale Watch Cruises. On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw probably 20 different Humpbacks including mom and baby. Same thing with the 10:30 Cruise from Abay – – but this time the calf we were watching was much younger. Baby swam right under …
Aloha, We saw some interesting behaviors on our cruises on Thursday. We started the day with a pod of very active Spinner Dolphins who took a bee-line for our Wake up with the Whales Cruise as soon as they heard us. We could have watched them all day…but…we kept seeing some splashing going on from …
Aloha, The surf was UP on Wednesday, but we got out to sea and had an incredible time on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Besides seeing somewhere around 14 different Humpbacks (including one who breached), we found Mom with a very small calf. Baby’s dorsal fin was bent almost completely over indicating he …
