Aloha, Our Monday morning Wake Up with the Whales guests were greeted with some pretty strong winds and resulting choppy seas. But…all that ocean energy seemed to excite the Humpbacks. As we made our way north out of the bay, we saw some splashing near the Mauna Lani Resort. It turned out that the splashing …
Aloha, Hope you had a nice weekend — we operated dedicated Whale Watch Cruises on both Friday and Saturday, and here’s what we got to see: Guests on Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise got to spend some time with a sub-adult Whale. We’re estimating this Humpback was somewhere between 30 and 35 feet …
Aloha, We only got to see one Humpback during Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from Kawaihae Harbor. We watched him spout 4 times before he disappeared under the surface of the water. And when I say “disappeared”, I mean “disappeared”…because we waited and waited and waited for our whale to surface again. While we were …
Aloha, I’m excited to bring you our first Whale Report of the season! We spent this first cruise (our Wake up with the Whales Cruise) with a lone (possibly lonely) younger whale. We saw the whale spouting and diving shortly after leaving the bay — and Captain Sam headed us to the area about 100 …
Just a quick note to let you know that the Humpbacks are back! On November 1st as we were cleaning up the boat at Anaeho’omalu Bay after our cruise, we took a moment to look up from our tasks only to see a Humpback breaching and tail lobbing as he cruised past the bay! Since …
Aloha, I can hardly believe I’m writing these words…Tuesday we ran our FINAL Whale Watch Cruise of the 2020/2021 Season — a Wake up with the Whales Cruise from Kawaihae Harbor. And just like our opening day cruise this season, our closing day cruise brought us close-by sightings of a Humpback whale. A guest …
Aloha, We set a course to the south out of Kawaihae Harbor on Saturday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, though we kept “our heads on a swivel” so we wouldn’t miss seeing any of the last remaining Humpbacks along the coastline. We eventually found Mom Humpback and her little calf offshore of Hapuna Beach. …
Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise spent some time with Momma Humpback and her calf. We originally learned that they were in our area when another boat called us to share the news that they had seen these whales to our north. It took us awhile to find the pair, but …
Aloha, Monday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise was FULL of activity. As soon as we left the harbor, we were surrounded by a pod of about 3 dozen Spinner Dolphins. After letting them play in our wake for awhile, we headed out to see a whale who had spouted at the surface and sounded. …
Aloha, We only operated one dedicated Whale Watch Cruise this past weekend — our Saturday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. As our season is drawing to a close we really appreciate every sighting – especially because we never really know when it’s going to be the last time we see a Humpback until next …
