Aloha, Guests on our final-day-of-February Cruises got to see lots of Humpbacks. On our Mid-Morning Cruise, we spent most of our time with a very cooperative Mom/Baby/Escort pod. Baby was on the surface a lot, exploring his world. We didn’t see as much of Mom or the Escort, but they each surfaced to spout and …
Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw a lot of spouting, and a lot of dorsal fins, and a few flukes from various Humpbacks in the area. Twice we were surprised when whales surfaced within 100 yards of us, and each time, these whales took a couple of breaths and headed …
Aloha, Our Tuesday Wake up with the Whales Cruise kept getting more exciting the longer we were out there. It started out kind of slow, as we headed north out of the bay towards the Mauna Lani Resort area. By the time we got there though, we found ourselves surrounded by 5 different pods of …
Aloha, Our Monday Wake up with the Whales Cruise was one of those picture-perfect trips. The ocean was calm, the skies were blue, and the temperature was perfect. The Humpbacks seemed to enjoy the morning too. Throughout the course of the cruise, we saw whales spouting and sounding all around us. We even found ourselves …
Aloha, We had a great weekend of Whale Watching…so let’s get right to it! Guests on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to watch 2 stages of the Humpback reproductive cycle (at least that’s what we think we were watching). We spent time with a competitive pod of at least 4 whales which …
Aloha, There was certainly no shortage of Humpbacks to see during Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. We saw spouts in every direction we looked throughout most of the cruise. When there are that many spouts, it’s difficult to keep an accurate count of the whales in the near vicinity, but we’re guessing we …
Aloha, Wednesday’s Mid-Morning Cruise started with a splash (or to be more accurate…a whole lot of splashes!). Right after we left the harbor, we were surrounded by a pod of curious Spinner Dolphins who played with the boat (surfing, leaping, twirling and splashing) for a good 20 minutes. After that, we were completely surprised when …
Aloha, We were met with drizzly weather on Tuesday, but since we didn’t see any lightening or dangerous conditions anywhere around us, and since our guests wanted to go whale watching, we decided to give it a go…and we’re glad we did! We ended up heading south out of the bay on our Wake up …
Aloha, The seas were calm, the winds were calm, and the whales were calm for our Monday Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Guests joining us on Seasmoke saw a lot of different Humpbacks in our near vicinity — at least 7 different pods of 2 or 3 — just spouting and sounding. We spent …
Aloha, Did you see any Humpbacks this past weekend? Guests cruising with us sure did! Here are some highlights: On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw multiple breaches (around a dozen) from various whales around us. We also watched 3 different pods of two sub-adult whales all in the same vicinity, doing …
