Aloha, We had barely left the mooring on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise before we saw 3 breaches way far away to our north. But we didn’t have to travel that far before we saw lots of other Humpbacks. At one point, while we were stopped with our hydrophone deployed (listening to some …
Aloha, The singing Humpbacks must have been very close to our boat during Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. And not only did we get to hear vocalizing whales while our hydrophone was in the water, but we also got to hear the sounds repetitive tail-lobbing makes! It definitely changed our perspective to get …
Aloha, Lots to report from our weekend of Whale Watching, so I’ll get right to it. On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, not only did we see whales in every direction, but most of us got to see 3 breaches. And, we were visited by a rare pair of Bottlenose Dolphin (well…rare for …
Aloha, We only ran one dedicated Whale Watch Cruise on Thursday, and that was our Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Guests joining us on this cruise got to spend quite a bit of time with our favorite pod of 3 – Mom, her baby, and an escort. We haven’t seen a lot of calves …
Aloha, There was no shortage of whales to view for our guests on Wednesday’s Signature Whale Watch. No exaggeration…we must have seen spouts, flukes, and/or dorsal fins from 30 different whales during the course of the cruise. Our best sightings were of a pod of two large whales who decided to surface, spout and sound …
Aloha, Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise began with some breaches far, far away. But throughout the cruise, whales kept surfacing closer and closer to us. By the end of the cruise, we watched a whale pop up right beside us, and then swim right under us (so close to the surface that we …
Aloha, There was lots to look at during Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. As we left the bay, we actually weren’t sure which direction to head because we saw spouts to our north, spouts to our south and even spouts to our west. We eventually chose a direction and got to see lots …
Aloha, A funny thing happened on the way to our snorkel site on Friday’s Private Snorkel Cruise. We were almost to Puako when we saw a whale tail-lobbing repetitively in very shallow water. When he finished tail lobbing, he dipped his head down and lifted his flukes straight out of the water — remember this …
Aloha, Well, the wind conditions on Thursday were opposite of what we experienced on Wednesday, so we had to cancel our Kawaihae Cruises, but we were able to operate our Anaeho’omalu Bay Cruises. We ran 3 different cruises: our Wake-up with the Whales Cruise, an Educational Whale Watch for the keiki from Laupahoehoe School, and …
Aloha, Boy was it windy near Anaeho’omalu Bay for our Wake up with the Whales Cruise on Wednesday! But since the ocean conditions were safe, we decided to take Seasmoke out to see what we could see, and it turned out to be an incredible day for breaching. We counted more than 30 breaches — …
