Aloha, With just 11 days left in our spectacular 2018/2019 Whale Watch Season, I thought that instead of talking about what we saw on Wednesday’s Whale Watch Cruises, I’d offer another perspective. Sometimes the Humpbacks are so close to shore that we can stand on the beach and watch guests on our boats watching the …
Aloha, Guests on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see Odontocetes (toothed whales) and Mysticetes (baleen whales). We started our cruise watching a Mom/Calf Humpback pod to the north of the bay. Both of them were underwater a lot more than they were on the surface, so after waiting to see them …
Aloha, Well, you can sure tell it’s nearing the end of mating season for the Humpbacks. Case in point…on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise we got to spend a lot of time with a very competitive pod of 3 Humpbacks, which, towards the end of the cruise, turned into a very competitive pod …
Aloha, On Friday, most of our Humpback sightings were closer to Anaeho’omalu Bay than they were to Kawaihae. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we were enjoying watching a lone Humpback spouting and then slipping under the surface when we saw some spouts further down the coast — which turned out to be …
Aloha, I was looking through our Humpback sightings records from last year at this time…based on what we’ve been seeing this year, it’s really difficult to believe that our sightings were so few and far between in March 2018, that we ended our Whale Watch Season on March 31st. What a difference a year makes! …
Aloha, Wednesday was a very good day for watching Humpbacks on the Kohala Coast — especially if you like to see baby Humpbacks (and who doesn’t?). Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw at least 8 different whales, but we focused our attention on a Mom/Calf pair who was focusing their attention …

Aloha, I’ve written lots and lots of words this season trying to paint a picture of what we’re seeing on our Whale Watch Cruises. For Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, I’ll let the Humpbacks speak for themselves. Click here to listen to the latest and greatest version of the North Pacific Hawaiian Humpbacks’ …
Aloha, It was another windy morning at Anaeho’omalu Bay during Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Guests joining us on this cruise were surprised when a Humpback surfaced about 80 yards from us and spouted right at our 12:00. Captain Will slowed the boat down, and we watched as this whale swam right down …
Aloha, The winds were blowing, and the ocean was a bit bumpy during Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, so we couldn’t stop to deploy our hydrophone. Even though we couldn’t listen to the whales, we still got to see them. We found a fairly big lone whale towards the beginning of the cruise …
