    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 31, 2018

    Aloha, Guests on our last Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise of the year spent considerable time watching a pod of 4 whales cruising north along the Kohala coastline.

    A Bit of Competition between Humpbacks

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 26, 2018

    Aloha, I wish you could have joined us on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise.

While we were waiting for the whales to come back to the surface, we deployed the …

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 26, 2018

    Aloha, The Humpbacks were out in full force for our Kalikimaka Morning Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Throughout the course of the cruise, we saw spouts, dorsal fins and flukes from 10 different Humpbacks.

    Humpback Calf and Lots of Breaching

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 25, 2018

    Aloha, Guest joining us on Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch got an early Christmas gift! We spent most of our cruise with our favorite Humpback duo…Momma and her calf. The little calf was very little, so he must have been born very recently. And like all little ones, he was curious about his environment…especially that big floating …

    Who’s Watching Who?

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 18, 2018

    Aloha, In our Whale Reports from year’s past, we know that we’ve mentioned that one of the easiest ways we have to recognize individual Humpbacks is by the unique white markings they have on the ventral sides of their flukes…but after Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise we’re starting to wonder if the Humpbacks …
