Aloha, There was a lot going on both above and below the water during our Thursday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. We started seeing spouts as soon as we left the bay, but spent most of our time watching a pod of 3 Humpbacks who were traveling together. A couple of times, we got …
Aloha, Wednesday was a good day for watching Humpbacks on the Kohala Coast. We saw a diverse representation of Humpback society on our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. We began the cruise watching a competitive pod charging down the coast. One of these whales was definitely out of breath from the swim, as we …
Aloha, Guests on our Tuesday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise called out sightings in every direction almost as soon as we left the bay — so many, in fact, that we really weren’t sure which way to head. Our first close-by sightings were of a pair of adult Humpbacks who spouted and sounded but …
Aloha, Our Monday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise started off with a series of double breaches from a pair of whales a couple thousand yards from us…and then the cruise got even better. While we were sitting and listening to some very loud songs through our hydrophone, we saw a lot of splashing and …
Aloha, We had a good weekend of whale watching….here are a few highlights: On Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, there were whales everywhere — surfacing, spouting, and sounding.

Aloha, The whales were SINGING during Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. Since the winds were calm, we got the opportunity to lower the hydrophone a few times during the cruise, and each time we heard some very loud and clear songs. One of those times, while the boat was just sitting and we …
Aloha, Our Tuesday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise was book-ended by the same pair of whales who spouted and sounded near the entrance of the bay. We first encountered them on our way out…and saw them again on our way back in at the end of the cruise. In between those sightings, we saw …
Aloha, It wasn’t too long after leaving the bay on Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise before we saw spouts to our north, so of course we took a turn to starboard and headed that way. While we were waiting for our whales to surface, we got a chance to deploy the hydrophone and …
Aloha, We ran lots of cruises since my last report — too many to list all the details — so here are some highlights: Guests on Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise saw spouts almost immediately after leaving the bay. While we headed to the spouters, one of these whales breached, and luckily, almost …
