About this experience

Our Super Rafts, Kauai Voyager 1 and 2 are perfectly suited for whale watching with great comfort including a full restroom, unobstructed views, and speed to bring us to the whales. We also utilize a hydrophone to listen to the whale song and have very friendly and knowledgeable captains and crew.

Itinerary

  1. Tour stop

    Our whale watching tours are fast, fun, and fully open-air, giving you awesome 360° views of Kauaʻi’s winter visitors. Conditions change daily — some calm, some a little bumpy — but our super rafts are built for adventure and our captains know where to look for breaching, tail-slapping, and cruising humpbacks. We also use hydrophones when conditions allow, giving you the rare chance to hear their beautiful underwater songs. Expect sun, sea spray, and fresh ocean air, so come dressed comfortably. Whale behavior and ocean conditions vary, but we adjust to the day’s conditions to give you the best experience possible while respecting all wildlife guidelines.
