Aloha, We had a good day of whale watching on Friday…but the rest of the weekend was pretty slow. We had a lot of wind during Friday’s cruises. Guests on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see at least 3 (but maybe as many as 5) different Humpbacks. 3 of them spent …
Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to spend some quality time with a very young Humpback. Based on estimates of this whale’s size, Captain Ryan guessed he was a yearling (or maybe a two year old), and probably alone in Hawaii for the first time in his young life. After …
Aloha, My goodness…what a great time we had during Tuesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise! We weren’t too far out of the bay at the beginning of the trip before one of our guests saw a spout to the north, so we headed that way. When we got closer, we realized we were actually …
Aloha, Our week started off with a bang! We headed north out of Kawaihae Harbor on Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise, and it wasn’t too loo long before we saw a spout below Kohala Ranch. This lone whale took a dive before we could get to her, but Captain Kino positioned the boat and stopped …
Aloha, It’s been a mixed bag for Whale Watching this past week. After our great sightings on Monday, we operated just a couple of other dedicated Whale Watch Cruises from Anaeho’omalu Bay and though we tried searching to the north, to the south, near the coastline and further out to sea, we didn’t spot any …
Aloha, The ocean looked like glass when we left Anaeho’omalu Bay at 8:00 AM for our Sunday Wake Up With the Whales Cruise. When the seas are that calm, we can head in any direction and we were just debating which way to go when we spotted a spout a little bit to our south, …
Aloha, Ok…so I know that in yesterday’s report I mentioned I wouldn’t send out another one until next week, but I just have to share the adventures we had aboard Friday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise with you. We left the harbor aboard Alala at 9:30 under cloudy skies…the only clear spot we could see was …
Aloha, We’ve had a whale-less week here on the Kohala Coast. Though we suppose there are Humpbacks somewhere in our near vicinity, we haven’t been able to find them. The Pacific Whale Foundation has set up a “Live Dolphin/Whale tracker app”, and a couple of their boats in Maui have reported seeing Humpbacks close to …
Aloha…and welcome back to our Whale Report Blog for the 2019/2020 season! As in year’s past, we’ll be using this report to give you an idea of what we’re seeing during our Whale Watch Cruises, and when we can, we’ll report on interesting whale sightings we have during our Snorkel Adventure Cruises and Pau Hana …
We’re really excited to announce that today, Wednesday, October 16th, guests aboard our Snorkel Adventure Cruise on Alala got to see the very first Humpback Whale of our 2019/2020 season! This morning, Captain Sam Stevenson reports that he saw 3 spouts and a tail from a lone, kind-of-small Humpback about 2 miles offshore of the …
