Aloha, The surf on the west side of the island was coming up fast during Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. It doesn’t really affect us that much when we’re far from shore, but we definitely could feel the slow rolling swell as the water moved beneath us. The whales probably could feel it …
Aloha, Thursday was just one of those perfect days on the water (calm seas, and light winds). We operated two Whale Watch Cruises on Alala and guests on each cruise easily saw 20 different Humpbacks. Highlights included lots of breaching whales (most from a distance, but we got to see a few of them at …
Aloha, We ran back-to-back Whale Watch Cruises from Kawaihae on Tuesday. Our first sighting on our first trip was just outside the harbor. After watching this lone whale spout and sound, we found a pod of 3 adults a bit further to our south. This pod didn’t spend too much time with us so after …
Aloha, Guests on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to listen to the Humpbacks singing BEFORE we even deployed our hydrophone. As soon as we turned off our engines during this cruise, we could hear the sounds reverberating through the hulls (for more on this, see today’s Fact of the Day). Of course …
Aloha, We had a lot of fun on our Whale Watch Cruises this past weekend. Here are just some of the highlights: We watched a Humpback surface just 50 feet from our boat during Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. When a whale chooses to spout that close-by, we can hear both her exhalations …

Aloha, We operated back-to-back Whale Watch Cruises from Kawaihae on Thursday. Though we saw a lot of spouts from whales pretty much everywhere we looked, the highlight of our Mid-Morning Cruise was getting to watch our favorite trio of Mom, her baby, and their escort. When we first spotted them, the baby was pretty calm, …
Aloha, Tuesday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise was all about the babies. We got to watch 2 Mom/Calf pods. Conveniently, they were on opposite sides of the boat, so no matter where we were standing, there was something to see. The calves were both about the same size, and since their Moms (who we didn’t get …
Aloha, On our way to see a solo Humpback spouting offshore of Hapuna Beach on Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise, we were completely surprised by a calf who surfaced 100 yards directly off our bow. Of course Captain Sam put the boat in neutral right away, and we spent the rest of the morning watching …
Aloha, We got to see at least 14 — maybe 16 different Humpbacks during Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise. Our first sightings were of a pod of two who surfaced and spouted way to our south, so we took a left hand turn out of the harbor and headed that way. Of course by the …
