    Humpbacks Fool Us

    Humpbacks Fool Us

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 31, 2021

    Aloha, On Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise Captain Ryan caught a glimpse of a spout way out to sea. It was a small spout, so we figured the whale might have been a calf, but at least while we watched, we saw no evidence of Mom (maybe our whale was a lone yearling). Anyway, …

    Humpback Trios

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 29, 2021

    Aloha, We traveled a ways out to sea on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise to watch a Mom/Calf/Escort pod. Once we arrived at the area where we thought they’d be, we went into idle and waited. Sure enough, these whales surfaced close by, and then they kept surfacing closer and closer. At one …

    How Whales Sing

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 28, 2021

    Aloha, We ran just one Whale Watch Cruise this weekend…Saturday’s Wake up with the Whales. Guests joining us on this cruise had to wait till virtually the end of the trip before the Humpbacks decided to show themselves to us. Earlier in the trip, we saw a lone Humpback spout a couple of times before …

    Aloha, Guests on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to know a Mom Humpback and her calf. We found these two whales offshore of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, and once we arrived in their area, they stuck around with us for the rest of the cruise. They surfaced close enough to our …

    Mugged by Whales!

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 25, 2021

    Aloha, Thursday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise was an incredible trip. It started off kind of slow…we headed south out of the harbor, and when we hadn’t seen any whales for about 15 minutes, we stopped to lower our hydrophone. We heard quite a bit, so we knew there were whales close by. Anyway, …

    Whales in Space

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 24, 2021

    Aloha, Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise started off kind of slowly. It took us 20 minutes to see our first whales, but once we found them, they seemed as interested in us as we were in them. We spent most of the rest of our cruise watching this Mom/calf pod. On 2 different …

    8 Whales in One Trip

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 23, 2021

    Aloha, On our way to investigate a couple of big spouts we saw out to sea during Tuesday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise, we came across a Humpback calf. Of course when we see a baby, we know Momma is there too, and we definitely weren’t disappointed when she surfaced. And when their escort surfaced…well, suffice …

    Calf Throws a Tantrum

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 22, 2021

    Aloha, On Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, we spent some significant time watching Mom Humpback and her little calf, though we almost missed seeing them entirely! We were headed out of the harbor going south, when Captain Kino caught a glimpse of a tiny spout behind him, so he turned the boat and …

    Humpbacks Approach and Newly Published Research

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 21, 2021

    Aloha, The only weekend Whale Watch Cruise we operated was Saturday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. Guests on that cruise got to watch an interesting interaction between 2 adult Humpbacks. These whales were either curious about us or were more concerned with each other than they were with us, because they surfaced close to …

    Something Rare and Someone Familiar

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 19, 2021

    Aloha, Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise began with an unusual sighting of 3 Rough-Toothed  Dolphins. Unlike the Spinner Dolphins that we see more commonly, these dolphins didn’t show any interest in playing in our bow or stern wakes. We first saw them at our 12:00 about 50 yards away, and then saw them …
