Whack-A-Mole
February 27, 2024 Aloha, Guests joining us on our 8AM Wake up with the Whales Cruise on Monday got a chance to watch 5 different pods of Humpbacks. We spent most of the cruise getting to know a Mom/Baby/Escort pod. Baby seemed interested in us too — we saw him attempt to spy hop at…
Height of the Season Stuff
February 21. 2024 Aloha, You can sure tell it’s the height of the Whale Watch season here in Hawaii! We saw so many Humpbacks during Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise that we couldn’t keep count. Though most of the 3 dozen or so whales in our vicinity were surfacing, spouting and diving again,…
Weekend Fun + A Video
Click to watch our Video February 19, 2024 Aloha, Saturday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise started off kind of slow but ended with a bang. It took us about 20 minutes before we saw any Humpbacks, but the wait was worth it when all of a sudden 3 different Humpback pairs surfaced. We made our way…
Whale-Full Waters
February 6, 2024 Aloha, We operated 2 Whale Watch Cruises from Anaeho’omalu Bay on Monday. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw evidence of at least 2 dozen different Humpbacks less than 700 yards from us (Captain Will estimated he saw evidence of 3 dozen different Humpbacks — which just goes to…
Crazy Competition
Febuary 1. 2024 Aloha, Wednesday brought us more ocean swells, but also some pretty “swell” Whale Watch Cruises (sorry…couldn’t resist writing that). Guests on our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise from Anaeho’omalu Bay began the trip paralleling a competitive pod of 3 Humpbacks (Mom, Baby and Escort). As we watched, another male joined the…
It Was Worth Losing…
January 30, 2024 Aloha, I had just written that we “started our work week off with a bang” when I began to think that since we operate every day of the week, we never actually have a “start” to our work week. So I deleted that phrase and I’m just going to say that our…
Weekend Round Up
January 29, 2024 Aloha, We saw too much during our weekend of Whale Watching for me to provide all the details, so this report will just touch on the highlights of our cruises. Guests on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got some good views of over a dozen different Humpbacks, including two different…
Too Many Times To Count
January 19, 2024 Aloha, So far this season, the ocean conditions certainly have been challenging. We weren’t able to go out at all on Wednesday, but guests joining us for Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise got to see quite a lot. It took us about 20 minutes to find our first Humpbacks about a mile…
Humpback Excitement (or Irritation)
January 17, 2024 Aloha, The ocean was a bit bouncy during Tuesday’s Private Whale Watch Cruise from Kawaihae, and that may have energized the Humpbacks because we got to see quite a lot of surface activity. We spent most of our time with a Mom/Calf/Escort pod who were hanging out about a mile offshore of…
Surprised More than Once
January 16, 2024 Aloha, Monday’s Whale Watch Cruises were down right crazy. Shortly after leaving the bay on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we were met with a Mom/calf pair. We got some good looks at them as they headed north but before too long, we were distracted by a couple of big…
