Aloha, We didn’t operate any cruises on Sunday, but guests who chose to join us on Saturday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise saw lots and lots of breaches and spouts in the distance. We tried traveling out to see our first distant breacher in hopes she’d continue her activity once we got there, but …
Aloha, Guests on Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise got the opportunity to see Humpbacks all over the place. From beginning to end, we saw at least 10 different Humpbacks, but spent most of our time with a pod of two who were on 12 minute dive cycles. It seemed like every time they’d …
Aloha, You can sure tell it’s January by the sheer number of Humpbacks we’re seeing. Case in point, on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we started the day with a breach off in the distance. Before we could go out to investigate, we saw a pod of two adult Humpbacks…and then another pod …
Aloha, Guests joining us on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw 7 different Humpbacks including our first Mom/Calf pod of the season! Mom and baby didn’t seem too interested in the boat, so after getting a glimpse of them we headed out to watch other whales. Later in the cruise, we encountered a …
Aloha, Hope you had a great start to your New Year! The wind was blowing and the ocean was bumpy for our first cruise of 2021, our Friday Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise, but we knew it would be safe, and our guests wanted to celebrate the start of the year, so we decided to give …
Aloha, Our last day of 2020 started out very calmly with multiple sightings of single whales spouting and sounding during both of our Morning Whale Watch Cruises. Things were a bit different for our final cruise of 2020 though. We encountered a pod of 3 adult Humpbacks early on in our Pau Hana Sunset Cruise. …
Aloha, As we headed out of the bay on Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise we took a turn to the north. We saw a few spouts here and there, but as we approached the Mauna Lani Resort, the wind filled in. So, after charging through the wind for a few minutes, Captain Will …
Aloha, If you got a chance to read yesterday’s Whale Report, you may remember that we encountered a group of 4 adult whales who (oddly) seemed to be enjoying each other’s company and not competing at all. Well, on Tuesday we witnessed almost the exact opposite behavior — the behavior we expect to see when …
Aloha, Guests on our Monday Morning Wake Up with the Whales Cruise got to see 5 different Humpbacks. One of them was spouting out in the distance, but the other 4 were within a couple hundred yards of us for most of the cruise. One of the whales in the closest pod of two decided …
Aloha, Hope your holiday weekend was as fun as ours! Guests celebrating Kalikimaka morning with us spent some quality time with a pair of very calm Humpbacks. Since the whales were so quiet, we were able to turn off our engines and drift, and a couple of times were surprised when this duo surfaced just …
