Aloha, The Humpbacks are definitely here…on Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, guests saw 5 different Humpbacks. The highlights included a very close encounter with two adult Humpbacks who chose to surface right next to us to check us out. We also saw 6 breaches each (that’s a dozen breaches, if you’re keeping track) …
Aloha, When we arrived at the beach to get the boat ready for our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise on Tuesday, the surf was up! Waves were breaking across the mouth of the bay, and the swell combined with high tides, created surges that reached all the way up to our beach hut. We …
Aloha, We have lots to report from our weekend of whale watching, so I’ll get right to it. On Friday, we ran only one dedicated Whale Watch Cruise…our Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Guests joining us got to see 7 different whales…which was the greatest number of Humpbacks we’ve seen on one cruise so …

Aloha, Both of our morning Whale Watching Cruises departed from Anaeho’omalu Bay on Thursday under cloudy skies, but the winds were light, so that made for very comfortable conditions on the water and great viewing opportunities.

Aloha, I hope you had a very Mele Kalikimaka (if that’s a day you celebrate)! Both of our Kalikimaka Whale Watching Cruises departed from Anaeho’omalu Bay on Wednesday. Guests on Seasmoke’s Wake Up with the Whale Cruise got to see one Humpback, but he never got closer to us than about 700 yards, and all …
Aloha, Both of our guaranteed morning Whale Watch Cruises departed from Anaeho’omalu on Tuesday, so we were able to “share” some of our whale sightings. On Seasmoke’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we spent a good 20 minutes looking around for whales to our north before finally deciding to stop and deploy our hydrophone. …
Aloha, We often get asked what time of day is best for watching the whales, and though there isn’t a definite pattern of behavior we’ve ever been able to determine, yesterday, the best time was the late afternoon. We ran a couple of whale-less guaranteed morning Whale Watch Cruises from Anaeho’omalu Bay on Monday, so …
Aloha, We had a good day of whale watching on Friday…but the rest of the weekend was pretty slow. We had a lot of wind during Friday’s cruises. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see at least 3 (but maybe as many as 5) different Humpbacks. 3 of them spent …
Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to spend some quality time with a very young Humpback. Based on estimates of this whale’s size, Captain Ryan guessed he was a yearling (or maybe a two year old), and probably alone in Hawaii for the first time in his young life. After …
