    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 31, 2021

    Aloha, We finished off our 2021 Whale Watching with some great sightings on our Friday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. Before we even left the bay we saw a whale breach out to the west, but after watching for a bit we realized that he wasn’t going to breach again, so we took a …

    Just Swimmin’ and Singin’

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 29, 2021

    Aloha, We saw more whales during Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise than we have seen during any single cruise yet this season. If we count from the very beginning of the trip to the very end, we know for sure that we saw 10 different Humpbacks, but we spent most of our time …

    We’re Surrounded!

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 28, 2021

    Aloha, Over the years, I know I’ve mentioned that you don’t have to be on a dedicated Whale Watch Cruise to have a great experience with the Humpbacks, and the guests on Tuesday’s Private Sail on Manu Iwa would definitely agree with me! The weather was great…the water was crystal clear, and a pod of …

    Heavy Breathing

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 26, 2021

    Aloha, Guests on our Kalikimaka Day Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise got to watch Humpbacks for a good percentage of the time we were at sea. At first, we thought we were watching 2 Humpbacks chasing each other around. Just like when you run fast or swim hard and need to breathe heavily, these two whales …

    Competitive Humpbacks

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 25, 2021

    Aloha and Mele Kalikimaka! Guests on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise experienced some windy, choppy seas, but also got some great views of a pod of 2 Humpbacks in front of the Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort. We even got to see one of their flukes as they sounded. After we returned from this …

    Wintery Weather Whale Sightings

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 22, 2021

    Aloha, We’ve had our share of wintery weather the past couple of days, but since the whales don’t seem to mind a little rain and some wind, we don’t either! Guests on Tuesday’s Mid-Morning Cruise spent considerable time with a lone Humpback who was on 5 minute dives. This whale didn’t seem to be headed …

    Exciting Ocean Excites Whales

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 20, 2021

    Aloha, Our Monday morning Wake Up with the Whales guests were greeted with some pretty strong winds and resulting choppy seas. But…all that ocean energy seemed to excite the Humpbacks. As we made our way north out of the bay, we saw some splashing near the Mauna Lani Resort. It turned out that the splashing …

    Aloha, Hope you had a nice weekend — we operated dedicated Whale Watch Cruises on both Friday and Saturday, and here’s what we got to see: Guests on Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise got to spend some time with a sub-adult Whale. We’re estimating this Humpback was somewhere between 30 and 35 feet …

    We Know They’re Out There

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|December 16, 2021

    Aloha, We only got to see one Humpback during Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from Kawaihae Harbor. We watched him spout 4 times before he disappeared under the surface of the water. And when I say “disappeared”, I mean “disappeared”…because we waited and waited and waited for our whale to surface again. While we were …
