Aloha, The theme for Thursday’s Whale Watch Cruises was Mom Humpbacks and their babies. Guests on our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise got to see a dozen different Humpbacks. We spent most of our time watching a mom and her calf calmly surfacing, spouting, and diving. The ocean seemed to wake up though, when …
Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise got to know a Humpback calf really well. We first saw the little calf spouting just outside of the bay in the beginning of our cruise. As we headed over to investigate, baby started playing around…doing little dives down to Mom, flipping around sideways, resting …
Aloha, Have you heard that phrase, “Good things come to those who wait”? Well, that describes Tuesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. After cruising around for quite awhile, we finally found a Humpback to our north. We positioned ourselves and stopped the boat, hoping it would surface nearby. But after waiting (and listening to …
Aloha, The wind disappeared overnight, and the ocean was like glass for Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise. Guests joining us on this cruise saw 7 different Humpbacks, beginning with a pod of two who we saw spout and sound just about a 1/2 mile out of the harbor. After watching them dive, and waiting around …
Aloha, Hope your weekend was as fun as ours. Here are a few highlights from our cruises: Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise began with some very close-by (about 30 yards away) sightings of a Mom Humpback and her small calf. While we were watching them, we saw some commotion ahead of us, which …
Aloha, We found a pod of two adult Humpbacks cruising pretty quickly up the coast on Thursday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. We paralleled them for awhile, until they led us to a Mom/Calf pair. These two seemed a lot calmer than our first two whales, so we decided to hang around and see …
Aloha, The ocean was calm during Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, and so were the whales. Over the 90 minutes or so that we were out at sea, we saw at least 5 different Humpbacks, and all of them were staying underwater a long time. Patience paid off for us though because after …

Aloha, After seeing several Humpbacks spouting and sounding during Tuesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, we stopped for a bit and deployed our hydrophone. We listened to some nice, clear sounds for awhile and then continued on our way, only to see a whale surface very close to where we had been sitting several …
Aloha, We found a lone Humpback within the first 15 minutes of Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from Kawaihae, so we decided to cruise over to him to see what would happen. As we watched, he was joined by another whale, and another, and another, and another…so suddenly, we were watching a pod of 5 …
