    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 30, 2020

    Aloha, As we headed out of the bay on Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise we took a turn to the north. We saw a few spouts here and there, but as we approached the Mauna Lani Resort, the wind filled in. So, after charging through the wind for a few minutes, Captain Will …

    When Humpbacks Compete

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 29, 2020

    Aloha, If you got a chance to read yesterday’s Whale Report, you may remember that we encountered a group of 4 adult whales who (oddly) seemed to be enjoying each other’s company and not competing at all.

    Aloha, Guests on Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise saw 8 different Humpbacks. One of these whales breached twice…and we also saw about 5 half-breaches from another, all about 250 yards from us.

    Double Breach Surprises ALL of Us!

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 23, 2020

    Aloha, We hadn’t even left the bay on Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise when we spotted our first Humpbacks, so of course we headed their way. After stopping 100 yards from them, we watched this pair of whales surface, spout, and slip under the surface. In fact we watched them do this a …

    Grand Reopening Whale Watch Cruise Lives Up to Its Name

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 22, 2020

    Aloha, We’re not sure who was celebrating our first cruise since we shut down last March the most…our crew, our guests, or the whales! On our Monday Wake up with the Whales Cruise we had quite the experience. We saw a total of 4 different whales but spent most of our time with a very …
