    Competitive Pod of 5 Humpbacks Chase Mom & Baby

    Competitive Pod of 5 Humpbacks Chase Mom & Baby

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 29, 2021

    Aloha, Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise began with a sighting of a single spout. While we were waiting for our solo Humpback to reappear, we spotted a pair of spouts, so we headed over to check out this duo of Humpbacks. We paralleled them for awhile, watching them surface every 7 minutes, until …

    Cool or Just Cooling?

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 28, 2021

    Aloha, My goodness, there were a lot of whales near Anaeho’omalu Bay during our Wednesday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise! Our head naturalist Greg estimated we saw somewhere around 20 different Humpbacks in the 90 or so minutes we were out at sea (and he’s not known to exaggerate)! Most of the whales we …

    Maybe Mating Humpbacks?

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 26, 2021

    Aloha, We were barely out of the bay on Tuesday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise when we encountered Momma Humpback and her little calf. We didn’t want to bother them, so after watching them spout and sound, we headed out towards some splashing we saw created by some other adult Humpbacks on the surface a bit …

    Seasmoke Gets Used

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 24, 2021

    Aloha, We only ran one Whale Watch over the weekend — our Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise on Saturday. The weather was great, and the Humpbacks seemed to find our boat worthy of attention. Though we stopped, as always, 100 yards from where the whales were surfacing, a competitive pod decided to swim all around us …

    Our Favorite Surprises

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 22, 2021

    Aloha, Despite the windy conditions on the water, guests joining us on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise were pleasantly surprised several times. Our first surprise occurred as we were motoring south and a big Humpback (who we had no idea was there), surfaced just about 40 feet from us off our port bow. …

    So Much Competition + Video You Have to See

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 21, 2021

    Aloha, If you read our January 21st Whale Report, you may recall that I promised to tell you about our Wednesday Pau Hana Sunset Cruise. What a trip! The Cruise began with sightings of spouts here and there, and as we headed north, we found ourselves parallel to a very active whale who had been …

    An Explosion of Surface Activity

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 21, 2021

    Aloha, Our Wednesday morning Wake Up with the Whales Cruise started off with a bang! We weren’t on the water very long before we saw an explosion of breaching…multiple whales and multiple breaches. While all that was going on, we also got to witness multiple tail lobs (that’s what we call it when whales repeatedly …

    An Exciting Humpback Competition

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 18, 2021

    Aloha, We experienced a heavy downpour right before we began boarding our guests for Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, but the rain stopped as quickly as it had begun, so we all decided to give whale watching a try. We didn’t see a whole lot during the first part of our cruise, but …

    Humpback Calf Makes Frequent Appearances

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 17, 2021

    Aloha, We ran just one Whale Watch Cruise over the weekend…our Saturday Morning Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. The cruise began with a dilemma…we were seeing so many spouts, we didn’t know which way to go! But we chose a course and headed towards a pod of Humpbacks, who turned out to be Mom, …

    Video Fail?

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|January 15, 2021

    Aloha, The surf was up on Friday, but we were able to time the sets of waves surging onto the beach and boarded everyone safely for our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. Throughout the course of the cruise, we spotted spouts from at least a dozen Humpbacks. We spent considerable time paralleling a grayish …
