    2019 Whale Sightings are Still Great!

    2019 Whale Sightings are Still Great!

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 28, 2019

    Aloha, I was looking through our Humpback sightings records from last year at this time…based on what we’ve been seeing this year, it’s really difficult to believe that our sightings were so few and far between in March 2018, that we ended our Whale Watch Season on March 31st. What a difference a year makes! …

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 27, 2019

    Aloha, Wednesday was a very good day for watching Humpbacks on the Kohala Coast — especially if you like to see baby Humpbacks (and who doesn’t?). Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw at least 8 different whales, but we focused our attention on a Mom/Calf pair who was focusing their attention …

    Alone But Hopefully Not Lonely

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 25, 2019

    Aloha, It was another windy morning at Anaeho’omalu Bay during Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Guests joining us on this cruise were surprised when a Humpback surfaced about 80 yards from us and spouted right at our 12:00. Captain Will slowed the boat down, and we watched as this whale swam right down …

    Weekend of Humpbacks

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 24, 2019

    Aloha, The winds were blowing, and the ocean was a bit bumpy during Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, so we couldn’t stop to deploy our hydrophone. Even though we couldn’t listen to the whales, we still got to see them. We found a fairly big lone whale towards the beginning of the cruise …

    Pec-Slapping, Peduncle-Throwing Good Time

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 22, 2019

    Aloha, Guests on Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got the opportunity to know a very active Humpback. We first saw this whale offshore of the Hilton Waikoloa Village – actually we were alerted to his presence by all the splashing we saw. Even from quite a distance we could see he was slapping …

    Celebrating Spring with the Humpbacks

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 21, 2019

    Aloha, Wednesday marked the first day of Spring, and we celebrated the equinox with the Humpbacks. We found a Mom/Baby pod right out of the harbor on our Mid-Morning Cruise, and watched them for more than 20 minutes. Baby did lots of dives down to her waiting Mom, and Mom made a few surface appearances …

    Watched by Whales

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 20, 2019

    Aloha, What a difference a day makes — the big swell we were experiencing on Monday was virtually gone by Tuesday morning, and the whales were out in full force. On our Wake Up With the Whales Cruise, guests saw 10 different Humpbacks in 4 different pods all around us. We spent at least 30 …

    Humpback Trios All Morning

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 18, 2019

    Aloha, The weather forecasters were correct, and the surf was up on Monday. Those big rolling waves didn’t seem to affect the whales though. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw 7 different Humpbacks. We spent most of our time with a Mom/Baby/Escort pod who seemed content to hang out within 100 …

    Weekend Recap – Lots of Close Encounters

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 17, 2019

    Aloha, Hope your weekend was as interesting as ours! Guests on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw spouts, dorsal fins, and/or flukes from more than a dozen whales. We got to watch a couple of very tiny calves diving around their moms, and watch a large lone Humpback lift his flukes as he …
