Aloha, Hau’oli Makahiki Hou! We had some great experiences watching whales this past weekend. Highlights included sightings of 10 different Humpbacks and 5 separate breaches on our Friday Wake up with the Whales. We also got to see a Humpback swim directly under us and then spy hop right next to us! On Friday’s Signature …
Aloha, Guests on Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise were the objects of curiosity for two Humpbacks! Though we saw spouts here and there from various whales, these two found us offshore of Honoko’opae, and spent some time under the boat clearly looking at us. One of them was vertical (with his head towards …
Aloha, Guests on our Wednesday Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw at least 8 different Humpbacks, including a very active competitive pod of 5 who stayed with us for more than 40 minutes. We saw 7 breaches, and lots of tail lobs and peduncle throws as these whales jockeyed for position and dominance. We …
Aloha, When we were leaving the bay on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw spouts pretty much every where we looked, so we decided to just head out and see which direction looked most promising. After awhile, some Humpbacks spouted closer to shore towards the south, so we headed towards where …
Aloha, The seas were calm on Christmas morning, and so were the whales! Guests on Seasmoke’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise could see for miles, and spotted a pair of Humpbacks up near Puako, so that’s the direction we headed. When we got there, we watched them surface and spout and dive just about …
Aloha, Lots to report from our weekend of Whale Watching, so I’ll get right to it. The seas were kind of lumpy and bumpy on Friday, but guests on our 10:00 Signature Whale Watch didn’t mind the conditions when they got to see two breaches and a pec slap or two from a pod of …
Aloha, We spent the first official day of winter our favorite way…looking for Humpbacks! On our 10:00 Signature Whale Watch we saw several spouts in different directions, all about 1/2 mile away. At one point we were about 250 yards away from a spouting Humpback off shore of Hapuna Beach, but as we motored her …
Aloha, When we got to the beach to set up the boat for our Wednesday Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we were hearing thunder and seeing lightning — and since it’s never safe to be on the water in an electrical storm, we were forced to cancel that cruise. Luckily the weather pattern was …
Aloha, Our guests all arrived early for our 10:00 Signature Whale Watch on Tuesday, so we got an early start on the cruise. We headed south, trying to dodge the rain, with only Captain Baker and Woody braving the conditions on deck — the rest of stayed dry inside the cabin taking advantage of Alala’s …
Aloha, The Humpbacks were on the move on Monday. During our 10:00 Signature Whale Watch, we found a pair of whales just outside of the harbor, and paralleled them for over an hour as they headed north up the coast. These whales had pretty consistent 10 minute dive times, and surfaced close by several times. …
