Aloha, You know how in every job, there’s something that can be completely stressful? Well, for us, it’s not seeing whales until 1/2 way through a cruise, and that’s what happened to us on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Sure there were blows here and there, but nothing really great…until…we found a competitive …
Aloha, We weren’t very far from the harbor when we saw our first pod of two Humpbacks on our Signature Whale Watch. After they sounded, we didn’t move the boat (though we could see a couple other pods of two spouting in other directions). Patience paid off for us, when our first pod surfaced again …
Aloha, What a weekend we had…so much to report that I need to just pick and choose between cruises so I can get it all in! On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we found Mom and Baby right away, followed by a sort-of competitive pod of two who were joined briefly by another …
Aloha, What a day it was for Whale Watching on Thursday! Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise had one of those one-of-a-kind type cruises. We were watching whales before we even left the mooring, and spent the first part of the cruise with Mom and Baby. Baby did some little breaches and …
Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw at least a dozen whales. Most of them were in pods of two, and many of them were spending significant amounts of time on the surface between dives, so we we got some great views of them. And though it was probably just a …
Aloha, For a day in February, Tuesday started off a bit oddly for us. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw spouts here and there but never got close enough to any of the whales to really see them. So, we called it a “Fluke” and invited everyone on board to join …
Aloha, We had a lot of fun on our Monday Cruises. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see Mom with her very, very young calf. Baby’s skin was quite light, and his dorsal fin was completely bent over so we knew he had been born very recently. We also got …
Aloha, The ocean was very calm during Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, and so were the whales. We saw 10 different humpbacks — all of them were by themselves, and all of them were just surfacing, spouting and sounding. And when we deployed the hydrophone, we could tell the singers were all pretty …
Aloha, We operated just one cruise on Thursday — our Wake up with the Whales Cruise — but the quantity and quality of whale sightings on this trip more than made up for the day’s lack of cruises. After leaving the bay, it actually took us a little while before we saw any action, but …
Aloha, We spent most of Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise paralleling a very competitive pod of 4 Humpbacks. Though we saw spouts and flukes from more than 15 other whales in the vicinity, we really couldn’t take our eyes off of these 4 as they lunged around on the surface, competing for dominance. …
