What To Expect

Kauai

Experience the Hawaiian Humpback Whale Season The Hawaiian Humpback Whale Season lasts from December – April of each year. Our 30-foot Zodiac© rigid-hull, inflatable raft is the perfect vessel for whale encounters. The Humpback whale is an endangered species, and Hawaii is the nation’s primary mating and calving ground for this species of whale. Kohala, the Hawaiian name for the Humpback whale, travel from Alaska over a distance of 2,000-3,500 miles to make their way to the warm waters of the Hawaiian Islands. Here in Hawaii, they mate and give birth to their young. Plan to join our Kauai whale watching tours if you are lucky enough to be in Hawaii during whale season. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures in the wild! Please note: This is a Whale Watching expedition, whales are not guaranteed, as we can not control where they are at the time of the tour. However, we will do our best to give you the best whale watching show possible.
