Aloha and welcome aboard!
Today's trip was fantastic! It's like someone flipped a switch and all of a sudden there were whales everywhere. We barely got out of Keauhou Bay when we saw a cow-calf-escort, logging....this gave me an opportunity to explain to everyone the dynamics of this type of relationship and for the people on board to see how whales sleep. After about 10 minutes, we pushed on toward the lek. All along the 20 mile trek we saw whales in every direction. In total we saw 15 Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), 10 breaches, 5 tail-lobs, 4 pec-slaps, 2 cow-calf-escort combos, and a pod of Spinner dolphins(Stenella longirostris). So as you can see, you just never know what the ocean has in store for you on any given day. So make your reservation soon and let's go find some whales, till then....Aloha.
