Kauai Whale Watching
The first whales were spotted today! In the distance we saw whale tails and puffs of water from blowholes.
Here’s some gorgeous photos of the dolphins and fish we saw today. Aloha!

Kauai’s Humpback whales are back for the season. The season will last from Dec. 2009 to May 2010. The activity will increase in Jan-Mar, so this would be the optimal time for whale watching tours with Napali Riders.

Na Pali was going off today! We started out with an absolutely beautiful sunrise.

As we headed out to sea we were met by a massive pod of spinner dolphins. They were jumping and spinning all over the place.
Then the whales started showing up. We saw several pods. We managed to get pretty close and even scored some underwater shots as they swam under the boat.
The day was perfect and the whales and dolphins definitely made our day.
Well the year has started off with a bang! Dolphins, whales, turtles, we even saw a huge manta ray.
The water was calm and we witnessed a mother humpback feeding her newborn calf. It was a pretty rare sighting and we arrived at the right moment. We saw a huge male slamming his tale as he fought for a mate.
Lots and lots of dolphins. On the way back we ran into a huge pod of 100+ dolphins as they leaped and jumped all around us.
One awesome day and a great way to start off the new year.
Kauai Napali Coast Tours
Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas!
We definitely had a great time on the Napali Coast today. Straight out of the harbor we ran into a giant pod of Spinner dolphins. They were doing their show for us and we had a great experience with them. As we headed back we ran into a very curious juvenile Humpback whale. This is just some of the footage that I was able to capture.

Well, the bad rain and clouds finally left. It was the first perfect Kauai day we have had in three weeks.
The ocean was calm and we were able to enjoy a mild day on the water. We spotted several whales on the way back.

Overall, another epic day on the Na Pali!
We came across a huge pod of female whales breaching all over the place.
We were able to get into the open ceiling cave today. First time in three weeks. The stormy weather we have had is slowly moving away. YEAH!
