    Young Humpback Cruises the Kohala Coast

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 18, 2019

    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 …

    A Day of Firsts

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 17, 2019

    Aloha, My goodness…what a great time we had during Tuesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise! We weren’t too far out of the bay at the beginning of the trip before one of our guests saw a spout to the north, so we headed that way. When we got closer, we realized we were actually …

    Spouts and Soundings

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 17, 2019

    Aloha, Our week started off with a bang! We headed north out of Kawaihae Harbor on Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise, and it wasn’t too loo long before we saw a spout below Kohala Ranch. This lone whale took a dive before we could get to her, but Captain Kino positioned the boat and stopped …

    Update on the Week’s Whale Watch Cruises

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 13, 2019

    Aloha, It’s been a mixed bag for Whale Watching this past week. After our great sightings on Monday, we operated just a couple of other dedicated Whale Watch Cruises from Anaeho’omalu Bay and though we tried searching to the north, to the south, near the coastline and further out to sea, we didn’t spot any …

    Spouting Off at the Pentagon

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 8, 2019

    Aloha, The ocean looked like glass when we left Anaeho’omalu Bay at 8:00 AM for our Sunday Wake Up With the Whales Cruise. When the seas are that calm, we can head in any direction and we were just debating which way to go when we spotted a spout a little bit to our south, …

    Surprised on our Whale Watch Cruise

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 7, 2019

    Aloha, Ok…so I know that in yesterday’s report I mentioned I wouldn’t send out another one until next week, but I just have to share the adventures we had aboard Friday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise with you. We left the harbor aboard Alala at 9:30 under cloudy skies…the only clear spot we could see was …

    Still on the Lookout for Humpbacks

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 6, 2019

    Aloha, We’ve had a whale-less week here on the Kohala Coast. Though we suppose there are Humpbacks somewhere in our near vicinity, we haven’t been able to find them. The Pacific Whale Foundation has set up a “Live Dolphin/Whale tracker app”, and a couple of their boats in Maui have reported seeing Humpbacks close to …
