Aloha, We operated a couple of different Whale Watching Cruises on Wednesday. On our 8:00 Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we spent considerable time watching two relatively small Humpbacks diving and surfacing off or Puako. These whales were definitely in sync with each other as they surfaced together over and over and over again. …
Aloha, Tuesday morning’s conditions were “super smooth” according to Captain Will who ran the Seasmoke on the Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Guests saw 6 different Humpbacks multiple times during the cruise, and two breaches. One was about a mile away, but the other was about 250 yards away…a pretty awesome sight. The ocean …
Aloha, On Monday’s 8:00 Wake up with the Whales Cruise from Anaeho’omalu Bay, guests saw quite a few whales. All the action was just north of the bay from about the Mauna Lani condos to Hapuna Beach, so we didn’t have to travel far at all. We watched 5 or 6 different whales (it’s sometimes …
Aloha, We woke up to very calm winds on Friday morning, which allowed for some great sightings on our Wake up with the Whales Cruise. It took us about 45 minutes to find our first whales, but once we found them they stuck with us for over an hour. We watched 5 different Humpbacks cruise …
Aloha, On Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise we were delighted to parallel a couple of humpbacks who were swimming from Puako towards the Mauna Lani. These two seemed like they were enjoying the calm early morning ocean conditions, surfacing together and diving together. Of course we always maneuver our boat to stay more …
Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake Up with the Whales Cruise got to witness a bit of competition between three whales. We watched these three chase each other down the coastline. At one point, one of the whales expressed his excitement (or anger, or irritation, or location) by slapping his huge pectoral fin against the water. …
Aloha, I can hardly believe the Whale Season has begun already. Where has the year gone??? Though our season has started off kind of slow with just sporadic sightings, we have seen Humpbacks the last couple of days on our Whale Watch Cruises. On Monday’s 10:00 Cruise from Kawaihae, we found a pod of two …
Aloha, Guests joining us on Saturday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise saw 4 different Humpbacks within about a mile of each other, though we had to travel all the way up to the Spencer Beach area to see them. Our on board naturalist, Captain Mike, reports that one of these whales surfaced just over …
Epic Snorkel & Whale Watch Adventure on Seasmoke today. On the way to our snorkel site, not only did we see a 5 foot + Manta Ray feeding on the surface, but we also saw a monk seal!!! And then…to top it off, on the way back, while we were under sail, we saw two …

Captain Ryan Stevenson reports seeing spouts from two sub-adult Humpbacks just about 1/2 mile offshore of Anaeho’omalu Bay around noon. As our guests and …
