Aloha, Our Thursday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise started off with a bang. We got to see two different pods of two Humpbacks spouting just outside the bay. After they sounded, we started searching for more whales…but though we had people looking in all directions, no one was seeing anything. While we were searching, …
Aloha, The whales were SINGING during Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. Since the winds were calm, we got the opportunity to lower the hydrophone a few times during the cruise, and each time we heard some very loud and clear songs. One of those times, while the boat was just sitting and we …
Aloha, Our Tuesday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise was book-ended by the same pair of whales who spouted and sounded near the entrance of the bay. We first encountered them on our way out…and saw them again on our way back in at the end of the cruise. In between those sightings, we saw …
Aloha, It wasn’t too long after leaving the bay on Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise before we saw spouts to our north, so of course we took a turn to starboard and headed that way. While we were waiting for our whales to surface, we got a chance to deploy the hydrophone and …
Aloha, We ran lots of cruises since my last report — too many to list all the details — so here are some highlights: Guests on Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise saw spouts almost immediately after leaving the bay. While we headed to the spouters, one of these whales breached, and luckily, almost …
Aloha, Wow, did we have fun Thursday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise! Over the course of the trip, we saw 10 different Humpbacks. Most of them were in pairs, but we encountered a trio, just north of the bay and about 3/4 mile from shore, who decided that we were worth investigating. These three …
Aloha, At this risk of sounding like a broken record, the winds were blowing in South Kohala on Wednesday. When we departed the bay on our 8:00 Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, it was pretty blustery…but nothing compared to the winds we had experienced the last few days. Over the course of the cruise, …
Aloha, When we departed Anaeho’omalu Bay for our one and only Whale Watch Cruise on Tuesday — our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, it was breezy, but not terribly so. Just after exiting the bay, we saw spouts up to our north, so we turned to starboard and headed that way. We could see …
Aloha, Guests on Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise saw 5 different Humpbacks. We spent most of our time with a lone whale who was lifting his giant pectoral flipper into the air pretty frequently. He wasn’t slapping the water (or another whale) with it, so we don’t think he was trying to communicate …
Aloha, We were out on the water a lot over the weekend, and here are some of the highlights: We’ll let the Humpbacks speak for themselves about Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. On Friday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise, we saw 3 different Humpbacks including one who decided to surprise us by surfacing just …
