Description

December through March is Humpback whale season for the island of Kauai! Climb aboard and go find some Humpback whales on this 2-3 hour raft ride along Kauai’s southern shores.

Every year, hundreds of Humpback Whales migrate from the cool waters of Alaska to the warm safe waters of Hawaii to have their babies and find their mates. During this fascinating voyage, you’ll have the opportunity to see baby whales experience their first few weeks of life and watch as adult Humpback Whales breach the water. Come see these majestic giants of the sea for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Listen to and learn about the amazing Humpback whales. Encounter these gentle giants and playful dolphins, sometimes eye to eye, as they delight you with their acrobatics. This Kauai whale-watching rafting adventure includes individually packaged snacks, Island-style juice, soda, and bottled water.

"Great Time!"
January 2019
We took the raft for whale watching. It's a Navy Seal raft so you go fast and hold on tight. You might be a little sore the next day but the ride and view was worth the trip even if you don't see whales. My 10 year old loved the ride itself.

You will get wet. Our ponchos were futile. Sunglasses and sunscreen recommended.

We saw lots of spray and when we didn't think we'd see much, a whale jumped right in front of us (101 feet away)! Crew was knowledgeable, answering our questions and concerned about our safety and comfort with seasickness remedies on the ready.

Will book again if ever return to this area.
