Aloha, 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, not only did we see whales in every direction, but most of us got to see 3 breaches. And, we were visited by a rare pair of Bottlenose Dolphin (well…rare for …
Aloha, We only ran one dedicated Whale Watch Cruise on Thursday, and that was our Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Guests joining us on this cruise got to spend quite a bit of time with our favorite pod of 3 – Mom, her baby, and an escort. We haven’t seen a lot of calves …
Aloha, There was no shortage of whales to view for our guests on Wednesday’s Signature Whale Watch. No exaggeration…we must have seen spouts, flukes, and/or dorsal fins from 30 different whales during the course of the cruise. Our best sightings were of a pod of two large whales who decided to surface, spout and sound …
Aloha, Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise began with some breaches far, far away. But throughout the cruise, whales kept surfacing closer and closer to us. By the end of the cruise, we watched a whale pop up right beside us, and then swim right under us (so close to the surface that we …
Aloha, There was lots to look at during Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. As we left the bay, we actually weren’t sure which direction to head because we saw spouts to our north, spouts to our south and even spouts to our west. We eventually chose a direction and got to see lots …
Aloha, A funny thing happened on the way to our snorkel site on Friday’s Private Snorkel Cruise. We were almost to Puako when we saw a whale tail-lobbing repetitively in very shallow water. When he finished tail lobbing, he dipped his head down and lifted his flukes straight out of the water — remember this …
Aloha, Well, the wind conditions on Thursday were opposite of what we experienced on Wednesday, so we had to cancel our Kawaihae Cruises, but we were able to operate our Anaeho’omalu Bay Cruises. We ran 3 different cruises: our Wake-up with the Whales Cruise, an Educational Whale Watch for the keiki from Laupahoehoe School, and …
Aloha, Boy was it windy near Anaeho’omalu Bay for our Wake up with the Whales Cruise on Wednesday! But since the ocean conditions were safe, we decided to take Seasmoke out to see what we could see, and it turned out to be an incredible day for breaching. We counted more than 30 breaches — …
Aloha, We got to watch all sorts of interesting Humpback behaviors during Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. We spent the first half of the trip watching a competitive pod of 3 whales rolling around on the surface. We watched one of them head lunge, heard some trumpeting (whales breathing hard), and actually got …
Aloha, Throughout the course of Monday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw more than 15 different Humpbacks. Highlights included seeing two breaches about 150 yards from the boat (and fortunately, we were all looking in the right direction to see them). We also watched a lot of pec slapping from two mature whales, …
