About this experience
Watch for Humpback Whales off Kauai’s South Shore
Winter brings a different kind of energy to Kauai’s ocean. Humpback whales return to Hawaii’s warm waters, and a whale watching cruise gives you a front-row seat to the search. From the deck, you can scan the horizon for blows, fins, and sudden splashes while enjoying a couple of hours out on the water.
Blue Dolphin Charters offers a current Kauai whale watching cruise aboard a 63-foot catamaran. The tour runs about 2 hours and includes appetizers along with sodas, juices, beer, wine, and Mai Tais.
Some moments are quiet, with everyone watching the water and waiting. Then, without much warning, a whale may surface, slap its tail, or breach in the distance. That unpredictability is a big part of the experience and keeps everyone looking in a different direction.
Bring sun protection and a light layer for the breeze, especially on cooler winter days. A little patience goes a long way too, since every cruise unfolds differently and the whales are the ones setting the schedule.
