Aloha, We got to watch all sorts of interesting Humpback behaviors during Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. We spent the first half of the trip watching a competitive pod of 3 whales rolling around on the surface. We watched one of them head lunge, heard some trumpeting (whales breathing hard), and actually got …
Aloha, Throughout the course of Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw more than 15 different Humpbacks. Highlights included seeing two breaches about 150 yards from the boat (and fortunately, we were all looking in the right direction to see them). We also watched a lot of pec slapping from two mature whales, …
Aloha, Guests on both Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise and Signature Whale Watch started out their cruises with breaching Humpbacks. When we start out that good, we sometimes worry that the rest of the cruise will be a let down — but both trips just got better. On both cruises we had …
Aloha, Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise was really fun. We had barely left the bay when we got to see two breaches and a peduncle throw from one whale in a pod of two. And…the action never really stopped for the entire trip. We saw lots and lots of spouts and flukes…but also …
Aloha, The winds were calm on Wednesday morning but the whales weren’t! During our Wake up with the Whales Cruise we saw more than a dozen Humpbacks. Most of them were in pods of two, but we did find one pod of four who were competing a bit at the surface. For awhile, we watched …
Aloha, Guests on our Tuesday Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see several different pods of 2, and a couple of pods of 3 Humpbacks. Most of the whales around us were surfacing, spouting a couple of times, and then sounding, but we did see breaches from a couple of different whales during …
Aloha, The surf was up but the winds were calm in Kawaihae on Monday morning for our Signature Whale Watch. We saw spouts from at least 8 different Humpbacks but it was one pod of 2 who really made our day. This pod surfaced not more than 30 feet from our idling boat FIVE different …
Aloha, Hope your first weekend of 2018 was as fun and interesting as ours! Guests on Friday’s Signature Whale Watch got to see several pods of 2 Humpbacks spouting and diving. One of these pods surprised us by surfacing so close to the boat that we really couldn’t maneuver even though we knew they were …
Aloha, Guests on Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see a lot of the activity everyone always asks us about…breaching. First, we watched a smaller lone adult breach multiple times…and when he stopped, we waited around for him to surface again. But after about 15 minutes, a different whale caught our eye, …
Aloha, There was all sorts of interesting activity to watch during Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Not only did we see 6 different breeches all about 400 yards away, but we got to watch a competitive pod of 3 charging around on the surface — and we were surprised 3 separate times when …
