Very Unusual
February 2, 2024 Aloha, We really wish you had been aboard for Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from Kawaihae Harbor (and if you were aboard, we applaud your decision). We hadn’t even left the harbor entrance when we spotted our first spouts, and we were only out of the harbor for a few minutes before…
Crazy Competition
Febuary 1. 2024 Aloha, Wednesday brought us more ocean swells, but also some pretty “swell” Whale Watch Cruises (sorry…couldn’t resist writing that). Guests on our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise from Anaeho’omalu Bay began the trip paralleling a competitive pod of 3 Humpbacks (Mom, Baby and Escort). As we watched, another male joined the…
Bumps and Blows
January 31. 2024 Aloha, It was kind of drizzling when we departed on Tuesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, but we figured that the whales wouldn’t mind the rain — they’re wet anyway. Throughout the course of the cruise we saw a dozen different Humpbacks — most of them were just spouting and sounding….
It Was Worth Losing…
January 30, 2024 Aloha, I had just written that we “started our work week off with a bang” when I began to think that since we operate every day of the week, we never actually have a “start” to our work week. So I deleted that phrase and I’m just going to say that our…
Weekend Round Up
January 29, 2024 Aloha, We saw too much during our weekend of Whale Watching for me to provide all the details, so this report will just touch on the highlights of our cruises. Guests on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got some good views of over a dozen different Humpbacks, including two different…
Twice the Excitement
January 25, 2024 Aloha, Guests joining us on Wednesday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from Kawaiahae witnessed a real treat — actually, a double treat. Within 5 minutes of leaving the harbor we spotted two Humpback duos in two directions both about 1/2 mile away from us. We flipped a coin and decided to go for…
Everyone was Looking at Everyone
January 23, 2024 Aloha, After yet another crazy weekend of weather, we finally got back out onto the water on Monday. Guests joining us on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise spent some quality time with a Mom, her baby, and their escort. These 3 seemed to be curious about us as they stayed…
Simon Says
January 20. 2024 Aloha, Guests on Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise from Kawaihae saw spouts from Humpbacks in every direction. We spent the beginning of the cruise with a Mom/Calf/Escort pod who were all resting peacefully just outside of the harbor entrance. After watching them surface, spout and dive several times, we decided…
Too Many Times To Count
January 19, 2024 Aloha, So far this season, the ocean conditions certainly have been challenging. We weren’t able to go out at all on Wednesday, but guests joining us for Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise got to see quite a lot. It took us about 20 minutes to find our first Humpbacks about a mile…
