Aloha, We had a great day on the water on Wednesday, but didn’t see any whales during our 10:00 AM Whale Watch. Our guests have all been invited back to join us on another cruise for FREE. But, since I don’t have any sightings to report, here’s a very sweet story about Humpbacks instead. …
Aloha, We didn’t operate any Whale Watch Cruises on Tuesday, so instead of a recap of our sightings, here’s an interesting story… In the 1890’s, a whaler with very pale and mottled skin by the name of James Bartley claimed that he had been swallowed by a Sperm Whale. He said that he had been …
Aloha, Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise was a lot of fun. We only found one whale, but he was on the surface a lot. We’d watch him spout a couple of times and then dive, only to come up 6 minutes later. We also got to deploy the hydrophone and we heard some …
Aloha, As we near the end of our Whale Watch Season, we’re noticing a marked decline in the number of Humpbacks around our area, but we’re still having a lot of fun on our cruises! On Friday’s Whale Watch Cruise, we didn’t see any Humpbacks at all! We did get to hear them singing when …
Aloha, We were accompanied for most of Thursday’s 10:00 Whale Watch by two Humpbacks…a Mom and her calf. Both of them were pretty big — that calf was definitely not a newborn. Baby stayed on the surface a lot, so we got some great views of him. And though Momma wasn’t on the surface with …
Aloha, The Humpbacks were on crazy long dive times during Wednesday’s Wake up With the Whales Cruise. We had to travel around a lot just to find any of them, and once we did, they’d spout and sound. We saw 4 different Humpbacks during the trip but the sightings weren’t good enough to satisfy Captain …
Aloha, We ran two Whale Watch Cruises from Kawaihae on Tuesday. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise we had to head south…all the way to the Hilton Waikoloa Village before we had some good sightings. We found Momma, Baby and Escort offshore of the resort, and they decided to come over to check …
Aloha, Guests joining us for Monday’s Snorkel and Whale Watch Adventure Cruise got some great sightings of our favorite trio of whales…Mom, Baby, and Escort. Both Mom and the Escort were big, big whales. All three of them cut across our bow maybe only 50 yards away. And when they decided to dive, we got …
Aloha, Here’s how we spent our weekend: On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise we spent some time watching Mom and baby, but we saw a few mature whales out there too. We also saw some breaches out on the horizon. On Friday’s Snorkel and Whale Watch Adventure Cruise, we also got to see …
Aloha, We operated both of our Thursday morning Whale Watch Cruises from Kawaihae Harbor on Alala. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise spent over an hour with a curious baby whale. The calf and her mom swam right up to the boat…and they were accompanied by a HUGE escort who surfaced several …
