Aloha, We operated both of our Thursday morning Whale Watch Cruises from Kawaihae Harbor on Alala. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise spent over an hour with a curious baby whale. The calf and her mom swam right up to the boat…and they were accompanied by a HUGE escort who surfaced several …
Aloha, We operated just one Whale Watch Cruise on Wednesday…our 10:00 Signature Cruise from Kawaihae. Guests joining us on this cruise got to enjoy a lot of fun sightings of a very spread out pod of Spinner Dolphins. The dolphins were on the move, but some of them swung by to play with the boat …
Aloha, Guests on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise were investigated thoroughly by a very small Humpback calf. We spent over an hour near this little guy, who of course, was accompanied by his Mom….and an escort. We got to see the escort’s flukes several times as he did some deep sounding dives while …
Aloha, Guests on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see spouts from 7 different Humpbacks, including a Mom and Baby who spent about 15 minutes hanging out with us. We had one of those magical moments during this cruise when we were all looking at the right spot to see baby breach! …

Aloha, We were met with calm water for Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise which meant we could see a long way…and there was lots to see! Just outside of the bay we found a pod of Mom, her baby and an escort. All three of them were pretty big (Captain Will estimated baby …
Aloha, The wind was still blowing on Tuesday, but the whales were definitely awake for our Wake up with the Whales Cruise. We had hardly left the bay when we saw a full breach about 400 yards in front of us. We also got to see a pec slapper and a couple of tail lobs. …
Aloha, We woke up on Monday to some pretty strong trade winds, but not too strong to take the boat out on a Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Though we had to go kind of slowly and though we traveled almost all the way up to Hapuna Beach it was totally worth it when …
Aloha, Lots to report from this weekend’s cruises! Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise started off with some breaches. We then saw a whole bunch of tail lobs and head lunges from other whales. To top it off, we had a very close encounter from some whales who decided to swim between Manu Iwa …
