What To Expect

Join us on a quest to find Humpback Whales & dolphins! This exciting raft ride will keep you up close and personal with our knowledgeable Captain & Crew. When possible, the boat will be equipped with a hydrophone that will allow you to hear the whale songs when they get close. Humpback whales are here for the winter to have their babies & mate before heading back to Alaska. The whale season on Kauai is like nothing you have ever seen. During the thick of the season, our coastline feels completely filled with whales and the newly born calf. This tour offers you the chance to experience the amazing gentle giants without having to commit to a full day out on the water. We provide snacks and drinks! There is no snorkeling on this tour.

Activity name

Cool Hawaii wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Hawaii over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
