Aloha, The trade winds were brisk and the surf was up on Wednesday, but the conditions were safe for whale watching, so we gave it a go…and we were glad we did. Guests on our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise had plenty to look at. Over the course of the cruise we saw a …

Aloha, The trade winds came back over night, so we were met with some blustery conditions for Tuesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. Still, despite the wind, guests joining us saw quite a bit. We were accompanied by a Mom/calf pod for most of the trip, and they stayed close by to us. In …

Aloha, Our Monday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise began with spouting whales to our north, so we took a turn to starboard out of the bay and headed that way. After watching a pair of whales spout and sound, we headed towards another pair further out to sea, who also spouted and sounded. Later …

Aloha, We have lots to report from our weekend of whale watching, so I’ll get right to it. On Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, we saw lots of spouts all around us, but chose to go check out the whales to the north of the bay. The highlight of the cruise was watching …

Aloha, Our Thursday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise was one of those trips that just kept getting better and better. It was pretty windy and bumpy when we first headed out of the bay, but we were seeing splashes from Humpbacks on the surface out near the horizon. Of course with all that wind, …

Aloha, If you’re the kind of person who finds cruising on boats in the wind to be fun and exhilarating (like we tend to be), you would have loved our Wednesday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. When we got to the beach in the morning and saw the conditions, we made sure that everyone …

Aloha, Tuesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise began with a lot of wind. We were seeing a lot of Humpbacks spouting too, but the wind made it difficult to travel to them. Also, as soon as we’d see these spouts, the whales would disappear — no flukes, or multiple blows from any of them. …

Aloha, It was still pretty windy up in Kawaihae during Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise, but luckily we found a very active, kind of small (35′) lone Humpback just outside of the harbor. Though we saw spouts from other whales here and there, this guy captured our attention for pretty much the entire time we …

Aloha, As usual, after a weekend of February whale watching, we have way too many sightings to report everything, so here are a few highlights: Guests on Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise were “mugged” by a single whale who broke off from a 4-some. While the other 3 interacted at the surface, she …
