Aloha, We operated back-to-back Whale Watch Cruises from Kawaihae on Thursday. Though we saw a lot of spouts from whales pretty much everywhere we looked, the highlight of our Mid-Morning Cruise was getting to watch our favorite trio of Mom, her baby, and their escort. When we first spotted them, the baby was pretty calm, …
Aloha, Tuesday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise was all about the babies. We got to watch 2 Mom/Calf pods. Conveniently, they were on opposite sides of the boat, so no matter where we were standing, there was something to see. The calves were both about the same size, and since their Moms (who we didn’t get …
Aloha, On our way to see a solo Humpback spouting offshore of Hapuna Beach on Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise, we were completely surprised by a calf who surfaced 100 yards directly off our bow. Of course Captain Sam put the boat in neutral right away, and we spent the rest of the morning watching …
Aloha, We got to see at least 14 — maybe 16 different Humpbacks during Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise. Our first sightings were of a pod of two who surfaced and spouted way to our south, so we took a left hand turn out of the harbor and headed that way. Of course by the …
Aloha, People frequently ask us, “What time is the best time to see the Humpbacks”? Unfortunately, on Wednesday it wasn’t during our Wake up with the Whales Cruise. During the course of the cruise, we saw spouts from 10 different whales. Most of them were in groups of two, and with the exception of one …
Aloha, If you read yesterday’s Whale Report, you’ll probably remember we mentioned seeing whales in every direction. Well, the same thing happened during Tuesday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise. With whales surfacing and spouting every which way, we actually didn’t know where to look, and eventually our necks got tired from trying to keep track of …
Aloha, Whoa…it was SO windy when we left the bay for Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise that we weren’t sure what we’d get to see. Since we knew we’d have to maneuver slowly, we were hoping that any Humpbacks in the area would be close by. But…it IS February, so we figured there …
Aloha, Ok, so I know that yesterday I mentioned I wouldn’t be filing any Whale Reports again until next week…but Wednesday’s Private Whale Watch Cruise on Alala was just too exciting that I couldn’t NOT share it with you The weather was just perfect, and throughout the course of the cruise we saw at least …
Aloha, We hadn’t even left the bay on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise when we saw some splashing from breaching whales to our south, so we took a hard left and headed towards the commotion. As we got closer, we realized we were looking at a pod of 4 — Momma, her baby, …
Aloha, We operated 2 back-to-back Whale Watch Cruises on Tuesday, and the highlight of each was watching a very hyper-active little calf expressing himself (a.k.a throwing a tantrum) at the surface. On our first cruise, this little calf breached over and over and over again. Mom spent most of her time below the surface, popping …
