Aloha, Guests on Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise were met and escorted just outside of the harbor by a pod of about 40 Spinner Dolphins. After cruising south with them for awhile, we stopped the boat to deploy the hydrophone. We heard a few whales singing (which boded well for future sightings). Later …
Aloha, Guests joining us on Saturday, August 12th’s Cocktails at Sunset Cruise experienced a real treat when we encountered some rare visitors at sea. The trade winds had been blowing all day long, so when we left the harbor Captain Kimo decided the wisest course of action would be to stay in the lee provided …
Aloha, Guests on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see one of our favorite pods…Mom, Baby, and Escort (for a definition of who the “escort” is, please see below). These three were gently swimming along the surface. Getting to see baby’s spout compared to his Mom’s (and the escort’s) really made us …
Aloha, We had a great time out on the water on Monday. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw at least 16 different Humpbacks, and all of them were in pods of two. We watched one whale slap his huge pectoral flipper on the water for close to 4 minutes, and saw …
Aloha, Our Friday the 13th Wake up with the Whales started off with the luckiest of sightings…a pod of flipping and spinning Spinner Dolphins just outside of Anaeho’omalu Bay! We also saw spouts from several lone whales who were just spending about 30 seconds at the surface before sounding…and 3 different breaches in the distance. …
Aloha, We took both Manu Iwa and Seasmoke out on our Thursday Wake up with the Whales Cruise, We decided to travel together, so guests on both boats got to see very similar activities…and there was a LOT to see. We started the cruise watching several spouts and peduncle dives from a pair of two …
Aloha, Guests on our 8:00 Wake up with the Whales Cruise on Tuesday saw so much, it’s kind of hard to break it down to just a single paragraph. Before we had even left the bay we could see spouts, and as we headed towards these whales, a pod of Spinner Dolphins came to escort …
Aloha, After Wednesday’s incredible day of whale sightings, we left the harbor on Thursday morning with high hopes. Though we searched up and down the coast for two hours, there wasn’t a Humpback to be seen. A pod of Spinner Dolphins accompanied us in our search for awhile (so we did get to see some …
Aloha, Wednesday was a great day for whale watching on the Kohala Coast. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise from Kawaihae saw so much surface activity that it’s kind of difficult to summarize (our favorite dilemma). Over the two hour cruise, we saw 12 – 14 different whales. One sub-adult breached too …
Aloha, Guests on Tuesday’s 10:00 Whale Watch from Kawaihae Harbor were greeted by a pod of about 50 Spinner Dolphins before we even got of the harbor. The dolphins did a swim-by and apparently decided that they had something better to do…because after quickly checking us out they continued on their way. So we did …
