Aloha, The ocean was calm during Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, and so were the whales. Over the 90 minutes or so that we were out at sea, we saw at least 5 different Humpbacks, and all of them were staying underwater a long time. Patience paid off for us though because after …
Aloha, After seeing several Humpbacks spouting and sounding during Tuesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise, we stopped for a bit and deployed our hydrophone. We listened to some nice, clear sounds for awhile and then continued on our way, only to see a whale surface very close to where we had been sitting several …
Aloha, We found a lone Humpback within the first 15 minutes of Monday’s Mid-Morning Whale Watch Cruise from Kawaihae, so we decided to cruise over to him to see what would happen. As we watched, he was joined by another whale, and another, and another, and another…so suddenly, we were watching a pod of 5 …
Aloha, It was another windy weekend on the Kohala Coast. So windy, in fact, that on Friday, we were only able to operate one cruise – our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. Highlights from this cruise included being surrounded by 3 solo Humpbacks: one of them was about 100 yards from us at our …
Aloha, We wish you could have joined us on Thursday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. Though we still had some pretty brisk trade winds blowing throughout the duration of the cruise, we saw somewhere between a dozen and a dozen and a half different Humpbacks. Highlights included watching a whale about a mile away …
Aloha, The trade winds were brisk and the surf was up on Wednesday, but the conditions were safe for whale watching, so we gave it a go…and we were glad we did. Guests on our Wake Up with the Whales Cruise had plenty to look at. Over the course of the cruise we saw a …
Aloha, The trade winds came back over night, so we were met with some blustery conditions for Tuesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise. Still, despite the wind, guests joining us saw quite a bit. We were accompanied by a Mom/calf pod for most of the trip, and they stayed close by to us. In …
Aloha, Our Monday Wake Up with the Whales Cruise began with spouting whales to our north, so we took a turn to starboard out of the bay and headed that way. After watching a pair of whales spout and sound, we headed towards another pair further out to sea, who also spouted and sounded. Later …
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, …
