Aloha, Most Monday mornings I have a lot of cruises to recap. But since the last time I posted, we only operated one Whale Watch Cruise (you can blame the strong winds for that). On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise from Anaeho’omalu Bay we started seeing Humpbacks before we even left the bay. …

Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise spent substantial time with a Mom/Calf pair. The calf was really small and was acting like the infant he was. We watched him attempt to dive down to Mom multiple times. Some of his dives were quite smooth, and others were, to put it kindly, …

Aloha, Are you getting bored reading about all of our incredible Whale Watch Cruises lately? If so, I guess you can skip your reading of this report, because Tuesday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise was another good one. Besides being literally surrounded by Humpbacks for much of the cruise (which meant no matter where you were …

Aloha, Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise was an epic adventure. We had just left the mouth of the bay when we saw a Humpback breach 15 times offshore of the Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort, so of course we headed that way. On the way over there (which took about 5 minutes) we saw …

Aloha, Since last I posted, we operated a whole bunch of cruises on both Friday and Saturday. As usual, there are way too many details for me to expect you to read, so just in case you’re trying to decide whether to venture out to see the Humpbacks on the Kohala Coast, here are a …

Aloha, On Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from Kawaihae, we spotted our first Humpbacks immediately after exiting the harbor. These two whales were just cruising and neither was particularly big. After watching them for awhile, we encountered another pod of two whales…and then yet another pod of two. All of these Humpbacks were much bigger …

Aloha, Oh my…we sure saw a lot during Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Besides the sheer number of whales in our vicinity (we estimate 2 dozen), these whales were really active. We spent all 90 minutes of our cruise with a competitive pod of 6 adult Humpbacks. We got to watch lots of …

Aloha, The Humpbacks were in a mellow mood for Tuesday’s Mid-Morning Cruise. Throughout the course of the trip, we got to see spouts, dorsal fins and flukes from 8 different adult Humpbacks. All of these whales were in pairs and while we got to see some interaction within these pods, we didn’t witness any interactions …

Aloha, Hope your weekend was as exciting as ours! Guests on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales cruise found themselves in between 2 competitive pods of Humpbacks. We were watching the first pod of 4 a couple hundred yards off our port side while a pod of 6 was breaching a mile or so in …

Aloha, We operated FIVE different Exclusive Cruises on Thursday, so we saw way too much for me to expect you to read in a single update. Some of the highlights included a very tiny calf diving around his momma, a couple of double breaches about 200 yards from the boat which almost everyone aboard got …
