Aloha, The seas were calm on Christmas morning, and so were the whales! Guests on Seasmoke’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise could see for miles, and spotted a pair of Humpbacks up near Puako, so that’s the direction we headed. When we got there, we watched them surface and spout and dive just about …
Aloha, Lots to report from our weekend of Whale Watching, so I’ll get right to it. The seas were kind of lumpy and bumpy on Friday, but guests on our 10:00 Signature Whale Watch didn’t mind the conditions when they got to see two breaches and a pec slap or two from a pod of …
Aloha, We spent the first official day of winter our favorite way…looking for Humpbacks! On our 10:00 Signature Whale Watch we saw several spouts in different directions, all about 1/2 mile away. At one point we were about 250 yards away from a spouting Humpback off shore of Hapuna Beach, but as we motored her …
Aloha, When we got to the beach to set up the boat for our Wednesday Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we were hearing thunder and seeing lightning — and since it’s never safe to be on the water in an electrical storm, we were forced to cancel that cruise. Luckily the weather pattern was …
Aloha, Our guests all arrived early for our 10:00 Signature Whale Watch on Tuesday, so we got an early start on the cruise. We headed south, trying to dodge the rain, with only Captain Baker and Woody braving the conditions on deck — the rest of stayed dry inside the cabin taking advantage of Alala’s …
Aloha, The Humpbacks were on the move on Monday. During our 10:00 Signature Whale Watch, we found a pair of whales just outside of the harbor, and paralleled them for over an hour as they headed north up the coast. These whales had pretty consistent 10 minute dive times, and surfaced close by several times. …
Aloha, On Saturday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise we saw some action to the north of Anaeho’omalu Bay, and way out to sea…but decided to try our luck finding whales closer to shore. Our decision paid off when we found a pod of two Humpbacks near the Mauna Lani Hotel. We watched them spout …
Aloha, I know that in yesterday’s update, I told you I wouldn’t send out another one till Monday, but we saw a lot of fun stuff on Friday, so I thought it was worth an email… On the Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we watched a pair of Humpbacks surfacing and diving repetitively in …
Aloha, The Humpbacks must have decided that conditions far from shore were more comfortable on Thursday morning, as our only sightings during the Signature Whale Watch Cruise were quite some distance from our boat. We were able to make out one peduncle throw, and saw another Humpback breach — but that wasn’t good enough …
Aloha, The Humpbacks are continuing to arrive off shore of the Kohala Coast. On Tuesday’s Signature Whale Watch, we found a lone Humpback off of Puako. This whale was surfacing, spouting, and then showing her flukes as she began her 23 minute dives. We watched her through several dive cycles, and though she didn’t come …
