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 …
Aloha, It felt like a celebration of Moms and their offspring all day on Tuesday. Guests joining us on our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise got to see 5 different Mom/Calf pods…and 3 of these pairs were also accompanied by escorts. Besides the frequent surfacings and spoutings of the calves, we got to watch one …
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 …
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. We had watched this whale sound, and after waiting around for awhile, we finally gave up on him and drove away…only to see the breaching behind us. But what happened …
Aloha, There was a lot going on both above and below the water during our Thursday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. We started seeing spouts as soon as we left the bay, but spent most of our time watching a pod of 3 Humpbacks who were traveling together. A couple of times, we got …
Aloha, Wednesday was a good day for watching Humpbacks on the Kohala Coast. We saw a diverse representation of Humpback society on our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. We began the cruise watching a competitive pod charging down the coast. One of these whales was definitely out of breath from the swim, as we …
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 …
Aloha, Our Monday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise started off with a series of double breaches from a pair of whales a couple thousand yards from us…and then the cruise got even better. While we were sitting and listening to some very loud songs through our hydrophone, we saw a lot of splashing and …
Aloha, We had a good weekend of whale watching….here are a few highlights: On Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, there were whales everywhere — surfacing, spouting, and sounding. We were very surprised towards the end of the cruise when a pair of Humpbacks surfaced just 50 feet in front of us before disappearing. …
