Aloha, Our weekend started out with wind speeds in the 35 – 40 mph range…which makes getting to the active Humpbacks a little more difficult. But saying that, guests on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got quite the show. In total, we saw 5 different whales, but were all mesmerized by the 30 …
Aloha, It sure felt like winter on Thursday…the temperatures were in the upper 70’s, the wind was blowing, and the surf was up (check out the photo to see our version of “winter”). But of course “winter” in Hawaii can be a cause for celebration, and we didn’t let a little wind stop us from …
Aloha, Every once in awhile we get one of those Whale Watch Cruises that doesn’t need a lot of description, and Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise was one of those trips. After the cruise, all our on-board naturalist Adam could manage to get out was “Lots of breaches…lots and lots of breaches…15 whales …
Aloha, We didn’t operate our Wake up with the Whales Cruise with it’s 8:00 AM departure time on January 1st — in our 37 1/2 years of running cruises, we’ve found that people just don’t want to get up that early on the first day of the new year. But by mid-morning, most people are …
Aloha, Guests on our last Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise of the year spent considerable time watching a pod of 4 whales cruising north along the Kohala coastline. Though they didn’t seem like they were in a huge hurry to get anywhere, they were swimming in a fairly predictable pattern, surfacing, spouting, and sounding pretty frequently …
Aloha, We operated a whole bunch of cruises during the last weekend of 2018, so I’m just going to mention some of the highlights. We saw lots of spouts and flukes on Friday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from different whales. We also got a couple of good looks at a sounding Humpback who had very …
Aloha, Guests joining us on Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise didn’t have to wait long before seeing a Humpback — we actually found a sub-adult right outside of the bay! After watching this whale spout and submerge, we went a bit further and found a pod of two larger Humpbacks. These whales were …
Aloha, I wish you could have joined us on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. We spent the first half of the cruise watching a pair of Humpbacks surfacing, spouting, and diving for 15 minutes before surfacing again. While we were waiting for the whales to come back to the surface, we deployed the …
Aloha, The Humpbacks were out in full force for our Kalikimaka Morning Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Throughout the course of the cruise, we saw spouts, dorsal fins and flukes from 10 different Humpbacks. The ocean was completely calm, so we took advantage of the conditions and just floated, getting good sightings in pretty …
Aloha, Guest joining us on Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch got an early Christmas gift! We spent most of our cruise with our favorite Humpback duo…Momma and her calf. The little calf was very little, so he must have been born very recently. And like all little ones, he was curious about his environment…especially that big floating …
