Aloha, The theme for Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise from Anaeho’omalu Bay was Moms and their calves. We encountered our first Mom/Baby duo south of the bay. These two weren’t all that active so after watching them (and a few adult Humpbacks who were spouting further away from us), we decided to turn …

Aloha, Our Tuesday Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from Kawaihae was one of those cruises that just kept getting better and better. We found 2 Humpbacks just after exiting the harbor. Initially, these two were on 20 minute dive cycles, but since we weren’t seeing much else around us, Captain Jason made the decision to stick …

Aloha, If you read my Monday post, you know I spent a lot of it talking about the wind and how it might affect the whales. So much that I didn’t get around to telling you what we’ve been seeing all weekend long. The highlight of Saturday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from Kawaihae was watching …

Aloha, It’s been awhile since I last posted, mostly because we, along with the entire state of Hawaii, have been experiencing some extremely windy conditions. Whenever the wind blows so hard, we get a lot of questions from guests with exsiting Whale Watch Cruise reservations and guests trying to decide whether to make a cruise …

Aloha, It was definitely one of those height-of-the-season kind of days for guests joining us on our Tuesday Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from Kawaihae. Throughout our 90 minutes of ocean time, we saw a lot of different Humpbacks — most in pods of two, but a lot of them were hanging out by themselves too. …

Aloha, Monday morning’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise was really interesting from our perspective, but probably frustrating and a bit annoying from the perspective of the Humpbacks. We spent most of our time watching Mom Humpback with her slightly older calf. Baby spent a lot of time floating on Mom’s rostrum until the arrival …

Aloha, Most Monday mornings I have a lot of cruises to recap. But since the last time I posted, we only operated one Whale Watch Cruise (you can blame the strong winds for that). On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise from Anaeho’omalu Bay we started seeing Humpbacks before we even left the bay. …

Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise spent substantial time with a Mom/Calf pair. The calf was really small and was acting like the infant he was. We watched him attempt to dive down to Mom multiple times. Some of his dives were quite smooth, and others were, to put it kindly, …

Aloha, Are you getting bored reading about all of our incredible Whale Watch Cruises lately? If so, I guess you can skip your reading of this report, because Tuesday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise was another good one. Besides being literally surrounded by Humpbacks for much of the cruise (which meant no matter where you were …

Aloha, Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise was an epic adventure. We had just left the mouth of the bay when we saw a Humpback breach 15 times offshore of the Hilton Waikoloa Village Resort, so of course we headed that way. On the way over there (which took about 5 minutes) we saw …
