We wanted you to be the first to know that our 2018/2019 Humpback Whale Season has officially begun! As we were dropping the sails just outside of Anaeho’omalu Bay at the end of Sunday’s (11/4) Snorkel Adventure Cruise, Captain Baker saw spouts from two Humpbacks a couple miles to our south. Of course he couldn’t …
Aloha, As our fantastic 2017/2018 Whale Watch Season comes to a close, I just wanted to take the opportunity to offer a Mahalo Nui Loa for allowing me to share the fun and the adventures of the entire season’s worth of Ocean Sports Whale Watch Cruises with you. I couldn’t have done it without help …
Aloha, We had a lot of fun on the only Whale Watch Cruise we operated on Wednesday — our Signature Whale Watch. Guests aboard got to spend some time with a competitive pod of 3 whales. As the Humpbacks charged around on the surface, we heard lots of trumpeting blows (basically, the sounds whales make …
Aloha, We only operated one Whale Watch Cruise on Tuesday…our Wake up with the Whales Cruise. As we left Anaeho’omalu Bay just after 8:00 AM, we took a right turn and headed to the north. But we weren’t really seeing anything (besides the great views of the coastline) so after about 30 minutes, Captain Baker …
Aloha, With just a few days left of our Whale Watch Season, we’re happy to report that our Monday started out fantastically. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see a solo young whale — not a calf — but definitely a smaller whale. We had to motor all the way …
Aloha, You may have already heard our news, but because the Humpbacks have started migrating big time back to Alaska, we’re cutting our Whale Watch Season short by 2 weeks…so our last official Whale Watch Cruise this season will be on Saturday, March 31st. Yes, we’re still seeing a few Humpbacks, but we just didn’t …
Aloha, We operated a Wake up with the Whales Cruise and our Signature Whale Watch Cruise on Thursday. The first cruise departed from Anaeho’omalu Bay, and the second from Kawaihae Harbor. And though we scoured the coastline, we didn’t see Humpbacks on either cruise — we know there are still some whales around, because we …
Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Signature Whale Watch Cruise got to spend some time with a pod of two adult Humpbacks who were hanging around just outside of the harbor. These two were behaving very consistently. Each time they surfaced, they would spout 3 times before lifting their flukes, giving us some nice views of their …
Aloha, We operated just one Whale Watch Cruise on Tuesday — our Wake up with the Whales Cruise. We found a trio of adult Humpbacks (is that called a “tri-pod??) hanging out together offshore of the Mauna Lani/Fairmont Orchid area. These three were on a cycle of 6-8 minute dives, so we got to see …
Aloha, We were just outside of the harbor on Monday’s Whales and Cocktails at Sunset Cruise when our eagle-eyed Captain Kino spotted a lone Humpback to our north, so we headed that way. This whale was doing some pretty short dives, so we got to watch him surface, spout about 3 times. and sound really …
