Aloha, We started the last day of January cruising towards a beautiful rainbow. Of course rainbows are often accompanied by rain, and though we managed to avoid it at sea, even if we hadn’t, we figured a little rain wouldn’t affect the whales…they’re always wet anyway! Guests on our Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise spent considerable …
Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw at least 10 different Humpbacks. We spent most of our time with a competitive pod of 4 big adult whales who stayed a little over 100 yards away from us They were chasing around on the surface, breathing hard, and lunging at each other. …
Aloha, The winds were still blowing on Tuesday morning during our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, so maybe that accounted for how excited the whales in our area seemed to be. We saw a LOT of breaches — at least 12 from a pod about a mile and a half away from us, and …
Aloha, We were met with challenging ocean conditions for Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, but of course, the Humpbacks spend most of their time under the surface (especially on days like today), so they weren’t as affected. Saying that, we did see Humpbacks…including a pod of two who surprised us by surfacing and …
Aloha, Lots to report from our weekend of Whale Watching, so I’ll get right to it. On Friday’s Mid-Morning Cruise we found an energetic Mom/Baby pod early in the cruise. Mom breached twice, and baby, getting in on the fun, breached too many times to keep track of. We also watched a competitive pod of …
Aloha, Guests on Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw at least 8 different Humpbacks, but it was challenging to know where to look. Whales were surfacing, spouting, and sounding in every direction, and not in any particular pattern we could figure out. Towards the end of the cruise though, we found a more …
Aloha, We had a magical morning watching whales on Wednesday. The ocean was calm, the winds were light, and we could see for miles. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw spouts from somewhere around 20 different Humpbacks, and lots of breaches in different directions. We couldn’t believe our luck when seemingly …
Aloha, I spend a lot of moments this time of year trying to figure out the best way to describe our Whale Watch Cruises so that you can share in the excitement. Sadly, I know that even my best narratives don’t completely convey the adventure. So today, here’s something a bit different. Keeping in mind …
Aloha, We operated both of our Monday Morning Whale Watch Cruises on Seasmoke from Anaeho’omalu Bay. Guests on the Wake up with the Whales Cruise got acquainted with a Mom/Baby pod. We’re not sure if Mom was just being permissive, or if she was interested too, but both of them surfaced fairly close to the …
Aloha, As is par for the course for us in January, we spent the weekend with the whales. We ran a lot of cruises…here are a few highlights. On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales, we watched one pod of 2 and another pod of 3 Humpbacks surfacing, spouting, and sounding multiple times…and had lots …
