Aloha, The trade winds were blowing hard outside of Anaeho’omalu Bay during Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, but that didn’t stop us from seeing Humpbacks! Guests joining us on this cruise saw at least a half dozen different Humpbacks. We got a glimpse of a breach about 1/2 mile from us. The other …
Aloha, It definitely felt like a winter day at Anaeho’omalu Bay on Wednesday morning. The trade winds were blowing, there were lots of high clouds, and the temperatures were in the low 70’s (ok..we know…we don’t really have the right to complain)! During our hour and a half at sea, guests on our Wake up …
Aloha, We woke up to a windy day on Tuesday, but guests aboard our Wake up with the Whales Cruise still got to see about a dozen different Humpbacks. Most of them were several hundred yards away, and as soon as they would surface and breathe, the visible parts of their spouts would dissipate in …
Aloha, Patience definitely paid off for guests on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. We started off with several sightings of whales, but they were all pretty far from us. So we decided to take a moment and deploy our hydrophone. Unfortunately, the singing we heard was pretty faint and far away too. After …
Aloha, There was lots going on at sea this past weekend. Here are a few highlights: Guests joining us on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw lots of spouts in every direction. We went over to investigate what we thought was a Mom/Baby pair but it turned out to be two adults…while we …
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 …
