Aloha, We woke up to a very calm ocean on Wednesday. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw spouts from two different whales during the course of the cruise, but we never got very close to either of them. As is often the case when the winds are calm, the whales weren’t …
Aloha, We saw all kinds of animals on our Tuesday Wake up with the Whales Cruise, starting with a good size Manta Ray. After circling around to watch it somersault through the water for awhile, we could hardly believe our eyes as we were then met with a pod of Spinner Dolphins. We let them …
Aloha, Guests on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw two different pods of two Humpbacks pretty close to the boat. The second pod must have decided that we were totally worth investigating though, and since they were surfacing every 11 minutes, we put the boat in “idle” and waited and watched to see …
Aloha, We operated lots of cruises the past couple of days, so here are a few highlights. On Friday’s Signature Whale Watch, the ocean was pretty quiet, but we did see two different Humpbacks. Each was alone, and each appeared to be a sub-adult. We got to watch each of them spout before they sank …
Aloha, We didn’t run dedicated Whale Watch Cruises on Thursday due to some previously scheduled exclusive charters, but we did get a chance to spend a few moments with a Humpback. Guests on Alala’s Private Snorkel Cruise got some quality snorkel time in before heading out to watch whales. While we were at our snorkel …
Aloha, Remember the two Humpbacks we saw on Tuesday’s Signature Whale Watch Cruise? Well, based on those recognizable fluke patterns, they were still together and still hanging around the same area, because we spent some time with them on Wednesday’s Signature Whale Watch Cruise too! On Tuesday, they were just kind of cruising, but on …
Aloha, Hope your first weekend of March was as fun as ours! Guests on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got up close and personal with a Mom and calf. Baby decided that we were worth investigating, and Mom seemed to agree. Meanwhile on Friday’s Signature Whale Watch, we found a pod of two …
Aloha, Guests on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw almost every Humpback surface activity in the book! We found a pod of two whales shortly after leaving the bay, and while watching these two off our 10:00, another pod of two surfaced and spouted off our 9:00. But our 10:00 whales were in …
Aloha, We found Humpbacks on both of our Whale Watch Cruises on Monday, but on each, we needed to practice some patience. The wind was blowing, so it took us longer to get the boats to the whales — but on each of our morning cruises we got some good, close encounters. On the Wake …
Aloha, We were back to “business as usual” on Thursday. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we literally lost count of the number of whales we saw. It seemed as if there were spouts and flukes in every direction for almost the entire cruise. The whales were all fairly calm — most of …
