Aloha, We saw so much on our Tuesday Whale Watch Cruises that I don’t even know where to begin! Highlights from our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise include watching a lone Humpback following a pod of Spinner Dolphins for awhile. Throughout the course of this cruise we must have seen at least 10 different …
Aloha, It was a very wet weekend on the Big Island. So wet, in fact that we cancelled all of our cruises on Saturday and rescheduled as many people as were able to join us on cruises beginning on Sunday. Sunday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise departed in a drizzle, but we saw a …
Aloha, As we were leaving the bay on Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw a Humpback breach off shore from the Hilton, so we took a “right” and headed that way. On our way to see that whale (who, by the way, stopped breaching after that first time), we encountered not one, …
Aloha, Boy did we have fun on Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise! After kind of a slow start to the trip, we came across a sub-adult Humpback. While we were watching him, a Mom and calf ventured our way. Our calf was on the surface a lot, so we turned off our engines to watch …
Aloha, Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise started kind of slow. We saw spouts here and there, but it took us awhile to really lock in on which whales to watch. Throughout the course of the cruise we saw 6 different Humpbacks, however the highlight of the cruise was watching a BIG (maybe 50′ …
Aloha, Our Tuesday Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise began with sightings of a Mom/Calf duo. After watching them for awhile, we saw some surface commotion further down the coast so we went to investigate. The commotion turned out to have been caused by another Mom/Calf duo, but these two were accompanied by a primary escort, and …
Aloha, Guests on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got the opportunity to meet a Mom/Calf duo. We first spotted them on the surface several hundred yards from us. As we motored their way, they both disappeared, so we “parked” the boat and took advantage of the calm ocean conditions to lower our hydrophone. …
Aloha, We ran several cruises over the weekend, so here are just a few highlights: After we finished snorkeling on Saturday’s Private Snorkel Cruise, we saw 2 whales breaching simultaneously. As we headed out to see them, we encountered another Humpback duo who were soon joined by 2 more Humpbacks. This pod of 4 had …
Aloha, Guests on Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise saw a wide variety of Humpback behaviors. We started our cruise watching a Mom and her calf. The calf ventured over to see us, so we got some good views of him — and after Mom surfaced and spouted, she lifted her flukes ever so …
Aloha, We had a wonderful morning at sea on Thursday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. We started the trip surrounded by a pod of about 60 Spinner Dolphins. As was typical for the Spinners, as soon as they heard our boat they came over to investigate and play with the wake. While they were …
