    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 30, 2020

    Aloha, If you had joined us for Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise, you would have gotten to know a Humpback really, really well. Within 10 minutes of leaving the harbor, we were approached by a lone 30 – 35 foot whale. This guy must have liked what he saw, because he spent an hour and …

    Aloha, There were Humpbacks everywhere we looked during our Wednesday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. Over the course of the trip, we saw at least 20 – 25 different whales (it’s hard to keep count when there are so many spouts). Our closest encounters came from a competitive pod of 3 who were chasing …

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 28, 2020

    Aloha, Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise began with a sighting of a calf before we even started our whale talk. Of course we stopped as soon as we saw him, and got to watch the little guy and his Mom for quite awhile. These two were in very shallow water, and Mom surfaced …

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 26, 2020

    Aloha, Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise began with us just missing a close-up view of a lone Humpback breaching 4 or 5 times.

    Checked Out by Humpbacks

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 22, 2020

    Aloha, Guests on our Tuesday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise called out sightings in every direction almost as soon as we left the bay — so many, in fact, that we really weren’t sure which way to head. Our first close-by sightings were of a pair of adult Humpbacks who spouted and sounded but …
