Aloha, We had a weekend of Whale Season firsts! On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise we got to watch a pod of two whales spout, surface, and slip under the water several times before we lost them. On our way back to the bay towards the end of the cruise, we saw those …
Aloha, We wish you could have been with us aboard Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Shortly after leaving the bay, we saw spouts to our north, so we headed up towards the Mauna Lani Resort. Once we got there, our spouter surfaced and we realized he was a lone juvenile whale. Of course …
Ocean Sports currently has a full-time position available for a Driver/Logistics person. You’ll need a Hawaii CDL Class C with Passenger Endorsement to drive our fleet of buses throughout the South Kohala Resort area (no need to fight that Kona traffic)! In between pick-ups, you can help out with our logistical needs, moving supplies around …
Aloha, We’ve operated a few cruises since our last report, and though our sighting success has been a bit of a mixed bag, we did have a lot of fun. On Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch we cruised around for over an hour before we finally saw a spout. We headed to the area where we …
Aloha, What a weekend for wind…and if you were anywhere on the Kohala coast this past weekend, we know you’ll agree that those trade winds just didn’t let up. Unfortunately those strong winds cause us to travel much, much more slowly when at sea…so we can’t cover as much ground during our Whale Watch Cruises. …
Aloha, Guests on Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise were delighted to see a juvenile Humpback offshore of the Mauna Lani Resort. This smaller whale seemed to be on his way somewhere (or maybe it was “from” somewhere) as he surfaced and spouted a couple of times before sounding and swimming underwater, then surfacing, …
Aloha, The Humpbacks were hiding during our Tuesday Wake up with the Whales Cruise, so we called it a fluke and invited everyone back again for FREE. By the way, the Ocean Sports guarantee is a “Real Guarantee“…if you don’t see a Humpback on our morning Wake up with the Whales Cruise or Mid-Morning Whale …
Aloha, We only operated one dedicated Whale Watch Cruise on Monday…our Mid-Morning Whale Watch, and we were excited to see some wild cetaceans during this cruise. A fairly large pod of Spinner Dolphins found us on Alala, and apparently decided that we were worth investigating. This pod surrounded us for quite awhile, jumping, spinning, leaping, …
Aloha, We can hardly believe it’s Whale Watch Season again (where has the year gone?)…but we’re happy to report that on Saturday, on our first official Whale Watch Cruise of the year, we saw whales! We were about 1/2 way through our Wake up with the Whales Cruise before Captain Ryan saw some spouts …
