Aloha, At this risk of sounding like a broken record, the winds were blowing in South Kohala on Wednesday. When we departed the bay on our 8:00 Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, it was pretty blustery…but nothing compared to the winds we had experienced the last few days. Over the course of the cruise, …
Aloha, When we departed Anaeho’omalu Bay for our one and only Whale Watch Cruise on Tuesday — our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, it was breezy, but not terribly so. Just after exiting the bay, we saw spouts up to our north, so we turned to starboard and headed that way. We could see …
Aloha, Guests on Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise saw 5 different Humpbacks. We spent most of our time with a lone whale who was lifting his giant pectoral flipper into the air pretty frequently. He wasn’t slapping the water (or another whale) with it, so we don’t think he was trying to communicate …
Aloha, We were out on the water a lot over the weekend, and here are some of the highlights: We’ll let the Humpbacks speak for themselves about Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. On Friday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise, we saw 3 different Humpbacks including one who decided to surprise us by surfacing just …
Aloha, We’re happy to report that we got back out on the water on Thursday! Though the swell was still rolling in, we departed from Anaeho’omalu Bay on our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise at 8:00 AM. Guests joining us spent significant time with Mom Humpback and her little calf. The baby seemed pretty …
Aloha, Though our last big surf event of the decade was forecast to peak on Tuesday afternoon, we made the difficult decision to cancel our Wednesday Cruises on Tuesday, giving our guests time to find other things to do. We’re glad we did, because when we got to the beach on New Year’s Day, boarding …
Aloha, The Humpbacks are definitely here…on Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, guests saw 5 different Humpbacks. The highlights included a very close encounter with two adult Humpbacks who chose to surface right next to us to check us out. We also saw 6 breaches each (that’s a dozen breaches, if you’re keeping track) …
Aloha, When we arrived at the beach to get the boat ready for our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise on Tuesday, the surf was up! Waves were breaking across the mouth of the bay, and the swell combined with high tides, created surges that reached all the way up to our beach hut. We …
Aloha, We have lots to report from our weekend of whale watching, so I’ll get right to it. On Friday, we ran only one dedicated Whale Watch Cruise…our Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Guests joining us got to see 7 different whales…which was the greatest number of Humpbacks we’ve seen on one cruise so …
Aloha, Both of our morning Whale Watching Cruises departed from Anaeho’omalu Bay on Thursday under cloudy skies, but the winds were light, so that made for very comfortable conditions on the water and great viewing opportunities. On our Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we got to spend some time with a lone Humpback offshore …
