Our Favorite Season of the Year!
Take advantage of this Private Whale Watch Expedition, offered only during the peak of whale season when nearly 10,000 humpback whales make Hawaiʻi their winter home!
Our 14-passenger rafts provide unobstructed, close-up views of these massive and majestic mammals. This is the only tour that doesn’t venture all the way to Na Pali, making it shorter, more economical, and far less physically demanding than a typical raft adventure.
The goal of this tour is to find the whales, share fascinating insights about their behavior, listen to them communicate through our state-of-the-art Bluetooth underwater hydrophones, and hopefully capture some incredible photos along the way. If you’re lucky enough to visit Kauaʻi during this limited migration window, join us for an unforgettable experience that may just be the highlight of your trip.
In our booking form, you’ll see we also offer two other great options for our Whale Watch Charters: a private 6-Person Power Catamaran for smaller groups or an 18-person Deluxe Power Catamaran—perfect if you have a larger group or want additional comfort.
