    Well, That Was a Surprise

    Well, That Was a Surprise

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 28, 2022

    Aloha, The 2021-2022 Humpback Whale Season off the Kohala Coast is quickly coming to an end. We’ve been out a few times since my last report, and haven’t seen (or heard) much of anything from our Humpback visitors. Our good friends from the Hawaii Marine Mammal Consortium took their research boat out on Sunday from …

    Quick Glimpses Don’t Count

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 22, 2022

    Aloha, We saw one Humpback twice during Tuesday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise. The first time we saw him, he surfaced, spouted once and disappeared. We headed to the area where we thought he had dove…and 30 minutes later we saw another single spout before that whale disappeared again. Though all of us aboard spent the …

    Surprising…AND…We All Saw It

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 20, 2022

    Aloha, We didn’t operate any cruises on Sunday, but guests on our Saturday Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise spent most of the cruise getting to know a Momma Humpback and her calf. We first noticed these two when we saw their spouts to the south of the harbor. By the time we caught up to the …

    Where ARE they Going?

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 18, 2022

    Aloha, It took us quite awhile to find whales on Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, but when we finally did, we got to see a lot of them. We had to go almost 2 miles out to sea before we spotted spouts from what turned out to be a Mom and Calf. The …

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 17, 2022

    Aloha, The theme of Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise was “Meet Momma & her Baby”. We saw our first pod of Mom/Baby Humpbacks about 3/4 of a mile off the Kawaihae break wall. These 2 whales were busy interacting with each other, both on the surface and underwater. The whole time we watched them, they …

    Momma & Calf Playdate

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 17, 2022

    Aloha, Guests on our Wednesday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise got quite the show! We first saw some splashing to the west (straight offshore) of Anaeho’omalu Bay and of course, headed over to investigate. The splashing turned out to be from a Mom/Baby duo. We don’t know if Mom was trying to teach her …

    What a Difference!

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 15, 2022

    Aloha, What a difference a day makes! Guests on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise from Kawaihae Harbor didn’t see a single spout. But oddly, all of the guests on our Monday Morning Private Snorkel Cruises departing from Anaeho’omalu Bay saw so many Humpbacks that we couldn’t keep count. On Tuesday though, the action …

    A Barrel of Monkeys

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 13, 2022

    Aloha, What’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys? We maintain that it’s spending time with an ocean of Humpbacks! We didn’t operate any cruises on Sunday, but guests joining us on our two Whale Watch Cruises from Kawaihae on Saturday got to know a Mom/Baby/Escort pod pretty well. During our first cruise, these three …

    A Hobby to Pursue Between Sightings

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 11, 2022

    Aloha, The weather was unbelievably beautiful for Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise…blue skies, light winds and very calm seas. Throughout the course of the cruise we got glimpses of 5 different Humpbacks. With the exception of one lone Humpback who surfaced and spouted several times before diving about 250 yards from us, all …

    Hawaii’s Loch Ness Monster?

    Humpback Whale Sightings and Statistics|March 10, 2022

    Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to know a Mom/Baby pod of Humpbacks pretty well. We first spotted their spouts to the south of the harbor so we headed over to take a look at them. Mom appeared to be pretty small (maybe 35 – 38 feet long), so we’re …
