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. Though they didn’t seem like they were in a huge hurry to get anywhere, they were swimming in a fairly predictable pattern, surfacing, spouting, and sounding pretty frequently …
Aloha, We operated a whole bunch of cruises during the last weekend of 2018, so I’m just going to mention some of the highlights. We saw lots of spouts and flukes on Friday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from different whales. We also got a couple of good looks at a sounding Humpback who had very …
Aloha, Guests joining us on Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise didn’t have to wait long before seeing a Humpback — we actually found a sub-adult right outside of the bay! After watching this whale spout and submerge, we went a bit further and found a pod of two larger Humpbacks. These whales were …
Aloha, I wish you could have joined us on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. We spent the first half of the cruise watching a pair of Humpbacks surfacing, spouting, and diving for 15 minutes before surfacing again. While we were waiting for the whales to come back to the surface, we deployed the …
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. The ocean was completely calm, so we took advantage of the conditions and just floated, getting good sightings in pretty …
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 …
Aloha, We operated a whole bunch of cruises this past weekend — here are some of the highlights: The seas were completely calm and flat for Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, and we got to see 5 different Humpbacks. Since we weren’t battling the weather, we put the boat in idle and just …
Aloha, Guests on Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise got to see seven different Humpbacks on multiple occasions. We began our cruise watching a pod of 3 whales — though we never really saw all 3 at the surface at one time. These whales were only underwater for a couple of minutes at a time — …
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 …
Aloha, Guests on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise had multiple sightings of 5 different Humpbacks, including one who breached about 300 yards from us. We also were obviously an object of interest for a big adult Humpback (about 45′ long), who swam right under the surface of the water along our rails, and …
