Aloha, Our week began with sightings of our favorite little cetaceans, the Spinner Dolphins. We saw them as we were leaving the bay on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise. We also saw 2 Humpbacks several times; surfacing, spouting and lifting their big flukes as they sounded. About midway through the charter, they surprised …
Aloha, As usual with a weekend’s worth of Whale Watch Cruises, there’s a lot to report, so here are just a few highlights. On Friday’s 10:00 Cruise, we found Spinner Dolphins, and lots of them, just outside of the harbor. After watching them play for awhile, we headed for a trio of spouts to our …
Aloha, We had lots of Humpback sightings on Thursday’s 10:00 Cruise from Kawaihae. As we exited the harbor, we saw a spout straight out to sea, and we intended to go check that whale out. But then we encountered our favorite dilemma when we saw another spout a bit closer to our south — with …

Aloha, On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise we found our favorite pod of three — Mom, her calf, and an escort, just outside of the bay. What first got our attention was a lot of splashing — which, as we approached, turned out to be from the calf playing around on the surface. …
Aloha, Guests on Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got the opportunity to see such a wonderful duo. We didn’t find these whales till half way through our charter, but every “whale-less” moment was worth it when we finally saw our first dorsal fin. This tiny calf popped up and didn’t even spout (or …
