This two-hour winter whale watching boat tour in Kauai takes place on specially designed Super Rafts named Kauai Voyager 1 and 2. These boats have open-air seating with unobstructed 360-degree views and onboard restrooms for passenger comfort. The tour departs from Kauai and quickly travels to areas where humpback whales are known to gather during the winter months. Experienced captains navigate to spots where guests can watch whales breaching, tail-slapping, and cruising near the surface. When conditions allow, a hydrophone is lowered into the water so passengers can listen to the whales’ underwater songs. Snacks are provided during the trip. The crew adjusts the route throughout the tour based on daily ocean and whale activity to follow wildlife guidelines and increase chances of sightings. Passengers should dress appropriately for sun, sea spray, and fresh ocean air. Safety equipment including emergency life jackets is available onboard. The tour is not suitable for guests with certain health conditions or recent surgeries, and all minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian.
