    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 28, 2017

    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 …

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 24, 2017

    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 …

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 23, 2017

    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.

    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.

    Humpbacks Slap and Breach and Breach Some More

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|February 17, 2017

    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 …
