Aloha, Our first Whale Watch Cruise of 2023 was at least 4 times better than our last one of 2022 (which, as you may recall if you read our last report, was virtually “whale-less”). On Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise we were delighted to see our favorite duo — Momma and her calf …
Aloha, We had a mixed bag of experiences watching whales the last few days. Working backwards…first of all, in order to give our hard-working crew a holiday, we didn’t run any Whale Watch Cruises on Sunday. On Saturday’s Mid-Morning Cruise we searched far and wide looking for spouts and splashes with little luck. When we …
Aloha, Whoa boy was Thursday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise a lot of fun! Once again our sightings began before we even got to the mouth of Anaeho’omalu Bay as we saw a huge splash from a breaching whale. Since we were just headed out at that point, pretty much everyone aboard was looking forward which …
Aloha, Some of our guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise started seeing whales before the cruise even started. While we were still on the mooring, these lucky guests were looking at the right place at the right time to see 2 Humpbacks breach just about a quarter mile outside of the bay. …
Aloha, Our little section of the ocean seems to be filling up with Humpbacks. During the course of Tuesday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise we saw more solo Humpbacks than we had seen in any single 90 minute period so far this season. We spent our cruise with 4 different Humpbacks. All of them seemed to …
Aloha, While we were still on the mooring getting ready to cast off on Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw a competetive group of 4 whales cruising past the mouth of the bay heading north. By the time we got out of the bay, 3 of these whales had already split off …
Aloha, Mele Kalikimaka wishes to you and your ‘Ohana! We had an interesting couple of days of Whale Watching this past weekend. Though we gave our entire boat crew the day off on Christmas, we did get out to sea both Friday and Saturday. We spent Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise hanging out …
Aloha, Guests joining us on our Thursday Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise didn’t have to travel far to see our first Humpback of the day. We caught sight of him as we were leaving the bay, almost before Captain Sam could complete his safety briefing. This whale was traveling solo, and he was traveling at a …
Aloha, I don’t know if you’ve been following the weather trends in Hawaii the last few days, but if you haven’t, I’ll summarize: STORRMMMMYYY! After a few days of being rained out, we finally got to take guests out on Seasmoke for our Wake up with the Whales Cruise on Wednesday. Shortly after departing the …
Aloha, We woke up to a very rainy day on Friday, so Captain Sam cancelled our Wake up with the Whales Cruise (we’re pretty sure the whales don’t mind the rain as they’re wet anyway, but we didn’t want our guests to get soaked)! We contacted everyone scheduled for the cruise, and luckily all of …
