    Final Post of the Season

    Final Post of the Season

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|April 12, 2019

    Aloha, Guests joining us on Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got quite the ride! The trade winds were blowing hard, so we decided our best course of action would be to head right into them. It took us awhile, but we finally saw a spout offshore of Hapuna Beach. While we were maneuvering …

    Humpback Trio Enthralls Us

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|April 10, 2019

    Aloha, We ran just one dedicated Whale Watch Cruise on Wednesday…our Mid-Morning Cruise on Alala. We were barely out of the harbor when we received a phone call from our good friends at Mauna Lani Sea Adventures who were watching a Mom/Baby/Escort trio off of Spencer Beach (which is just south of the harbor), so …

    Watching One Humpback, Listening to More

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|April 9, 2019

    Aloha, Boy, we sure wish you were aboard for our one and only Whale Watch Cruise on Tuesday (and if you were, good choice)! Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to watch a lone Humpback for about an hour. At times, this whale surfaced just 25 yards from our idling boat. …

    Calf-Day on the Kohala Coast

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|April 9, 2019

    Aloha, Monday was “Calf-Day” on the Kohala Coast. We ran 3 different cruises from two different locations, but guests on all of these trips got some great views of the next generation of Humpbacks. On our Mid-Morning Cruise, a Mom/Calf/Escort trio spent considerable time paralleling our boat, and at one point, surfacing fairly close to …

    Weekend Whale Recap

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|April 8, 2019

    Aloha, We operated a mixed-bag of cruises over the weekend, including dedicated Whale Watch Cruises, Snorkel Cruises and Sunset Cruises (both Exclusive and Non-Exclusive), and had a mixed-bag of cetacean sightings. Highlights included listening to very interesting songs through our hydrophone during Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. We got to watch a pod …

    Humpback Song is a Real Treat

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|April 5, 2019

    Aloha, We didn’t operate any dedicated Whale Watch Cruises on Thursday, but we did take 160+ guests out on our 3 catamarans for an Exclusive Snorkel Cruise. Since each of the boats went to their “own” snorkel site, guests on each boat had different experiences. One thing we all had in common was finding ourselves …

    A Different Perspective

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|April 3, 2019

    Aloha, With just 11 days left in our spectacular 2018/2019 Whale Watch Season, I thought that instead of talking about what we saw on Wednesday’s Whale Watch Cruises, I’d offer another perspective. Sometimes the Humpbacks are so close to shore that we can stand on the beach and watch guests on our boats watching the …

    Two Kinds of “Whales”

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|April 3, 2019

    Aloha, Guests on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see Odontocetes (toothed whales) and Mysticetes (baleen whales). We started our cruise watching a Mom/Calf Humpback pod to the north of the bay. Both of them were underwater a lot more than they were on the surface, so after waiting to see them …

    More Humpbacks Compete

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|April 1, 2019

    Aloha, Well, you can sure tell it’s nearing the end of mating season for the Humpbacks. Case in point…on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise we got to spend a lot of time with a very competitive pod of 3 Humpbacks, which, towards the end of the cruise, turned into a very competitive pod …

    Surprising Discovery (See the “Fact of the Day”)

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|April 1, 2019

    Aloha, On Friday, most of our Humpback sightings were closer to Anaeho’omalu Bay than they were to Kawaihae. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we were enjoying watching a lone Humpback spouting and then slipping under the surface when we saw some spouts further down the coast — which turned out to be …
