What to expect

Climb aboard one of our twin 25-foot Zodiac “Hurricane” vessels—fast, nimble boats trusted by Navy SEALs and designed for action, not lounging. Our whale and dolphin adventure is especially memorable, offering you a front-row seat as humpbacks surface, breach, and play in Kauai’s pristine winter waters. These tours only run during peak season (December–May), ensuring the best chances to spot whales, dolphins, and other marine wildlife.

Your knowledgeable crew will share fascinating facts about whale behavior and Kauai’s ecosystems, while children will enjoy the excitement and safe thrill of adventure on the waves. With a maximum of 14 passengers per boat, you’re guaranteed a more intimate experience and great photo opportunities. Please note: This tour does not include snorkeling, and is best suited for adventure-loving families and wildlife enthusiasts.
