Aloha, A few guests wanted to try their luck searching for Humpbacks with us on Wednesday, so we departed Anaeho’omalu Bay at 8:00 AM on Seasmoke. The weather was great, and we could see a long way in every direction (which boded well for sightings), but though everyone spent the entire cruise scanning all over …

Aloha, If you read my most recent post you’ll know that we’ve already notified guests who have reserved our Whale Watch Cruises that most of the Humpbacks have migrated away from the Kohala Coast. A few people have expressed interest in joining the Humpback search with us (with the proviso that we can’t guarantee we’ll …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
