Aloha, We have lots to report from our weekend of whale watching, so I’ll get right to it. On Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, we saw lots of spouts all around us, but chose to go check out the whales to the north of the bay. The highlight of the cruise was watching …
Aloha, Our Thursday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise was one of those trips that just kept getting better and better. It was pretty windy and bumpy when we first headed out of the bay, but we were seeing splashes from Humpbacks on the surface out near the horizon. Of course with all that wind, …
Aloha, If you’re the kind of person who finds cruising on boats in the wind to be fun and exhilarating (like we tend to be), you would have loved our Wednesday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. When we got to the beach in the morning and saw the conditions, we made sure that everyone …
Aloha, Tuesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise began with a lot of wind. We were seeing a lot of Humpbacks spouting too, but the wind made it difficult to travel to them. Also, as soon as we’d see these spouts, the whales would disappear — no flukes, or multiple blows from any of them. …
Aloha, It was still pretty windy up in Kawaihae during Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise, but luckily we found a very active, kind of small (35′) lone Humpback just outside of the harbor. Though we saw spouts from other whales here and there, this guy captured our attention for pretty much the entire time we …
Aloha, As usual, after a weekend of February whale watching, we have way too many sightings to report everything, so here are a few highlights: Guests on Friday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise were “mugged” by a single whale who broke off from a 4-some. While the other 3 interacted at the surface, she …
Aloha, We had lots to look at during Thursday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. With Humpbacks spouting to our port, our starboard, our stern, and our bow, we found ourselves faced with one of our favorite dilemmas…which way do we go??!! When we got a chance to deploy the hydrophone, we heard some good …
Aloha, The ocean had really calmed down overnight, so we got some nice sightings on Wednesday’s Whale Watch Cruises. Guests on our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise from Anaeho’omalu Bay got to watch two different pods of 3 Humpbacks who were chasing each other around at the surface. We deployed our hydrophone a couple …
Aloha, The surf was still rolling in on Tuesday, but the wind had quieted down from Monday, and the conditions were safe, we decided to give Whale Watching a try. Guests on our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise not only braved the seas, but also had a bit of rain to deal with now …
Aloha, We woke up to some wintery weather on Monday. With the high surf closing out the bay, and the winds already blowing from the west, we cancelled all of our cruises. Did this huge swell impact the Humpbacks at all? Well, if you read yesterday’s Whale Report, you’ll see that as the swell began …
