Aloha, We didn’t run any cruises on Sunday, but we did take folks out on two Whale Watch Cruises on Saturday. Both of these cruises departed from Kawaihae Harbor so we got to explore a different part of the coastline — and since it was pretty windy, we were happy to be able to take …
Aloha, The only cruise we operated on Friday was our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. Though we saw spouts here and there, we spent most of our time with Momma Humpback, her calf, and some escorts. At first we weren’t entirely sure how many escorts were hanging around with Mom, but we knew there …
Aloha, We ran back-to-back Whale Watches on Seasmoke on Thursday from Anaeho’omalu Bay, and on both cruises we spent time watching Mom/Calf/Escort pods. During our Wake up With the Whales Cruise we had to travel a bit before we found our first Mom/Calf/Escort pod, but while we were watching them off our port side, one …
Aloha, We spent most of our Wednesday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise watching 2 different pods of our favorite trio of Humpbacks — Mom, her baby, and their escort. One of these pods spent some time checking us out. Baby popped up only 10 feet from our idling boat, and for awhile we could …
Aloha, We began our Tuesday Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise positioned right between two Mom/Calf/Escort pods. It was kind of unusual to see these two pods so close together, but as is par for the course, the pods weren’t interacting with each other — and of course we saw a lot more of the calves than …
Aloha, On our way out of the bay on Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, a whale surfaced fairly close by at our 11:00. Of course we stopped to watch him, and then noticed a little calf a way’s away. Our 11:00 whale was too far from the baby to be Mom, so we …
Aloha, We didn’t run any cruises on Sunday, but what we saw during our two Whale Watch Cruises on Saturday gave us our “weekend whale fix”. On our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise we saw spouts and dorsal fins and flukes pretty much everywhere we looked. We spent the beginning of our cruise with …
Aloha, So much happened during Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, that I’m kind of at a loss on how to summarize it into a couple of paragraphs! We started out the cruise with whales on 3 sides of us, but after watching all of them for awhile (and listening to other whales through …
Aloha, We operated just one Whale Watch Cruise on Thursday — our Mid-Morning Whale Watch on Alala from Kawaihae. We had barely left the harbor before we found our first Mom/Calf duo. We watched them for awhile, but then saw a LOT of splashing further out to sea, so we went to investigate. The surface …
Aloha, Tuesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise was like visiting the “Daycare of the Sea”. We barely got out of Kawaihae harbor before we were seeing a Mom/calf duo, and throughout the course of that cruise we saw at least 5 more Moms and babies. At least one of these pods was accompanied by …
