Another great Napali Coast experience.
Whales, dolphins, massive cliffs and the unbelievable beauty of Kalalau Valley.
We really wanted to jump out and swim with all the dolphins. They were everywhere! We even had a humpback whale mom and calf swim by.

Water was a little rough and made for an exciting adventure as we headed out. We managed to battle our way to Kalalau Valley. As usual this natural wonder was inspiring. The ride back was a little smoother and we had encounters with both dolphins and whales. We had special encounter with a pod of manta rays….AWESOME!

The whales are still here! We had one breach right in front of us. The dolphins were great and the weather was Beeeeautiful.

We decided to go all the way up past Ke’e beach and park in the beautiful calm bay at Haena Beach. We watched the surfers rip it up and headed on back for some more whale watching.

The weather was extremely nice today. Everything is transitioning to summer beauty. We were able to finally get into the open ceiling cave. Check out the pics! It was awesome!!
The dolphins are showing up in bigger and bigger numbers. We ran across several pods throughout our adventure today.

Had a wet and wild day on Na Pali today. We were able to get all the way to Honopu Valley. This is where the Hawaiians trained for battle. The winds kicked up a bit and we headed off shore in search of whales. We spotted a young calf breaching outside of Makaha Ridge. We got close and he breached a couple more times for us times.

We ran into the ever-entertaining spinner dolphins. One of them came up right next to the boat and started jumping (show off!).

Headed out to the Na Pali Coast this morning looking for a mother and calf for an early morning feeding. We found just what we were looking for and slowly approached and cut engines hoping that they would come our way. They were moving towards us and we were able to get a good look at mom and baby. After awhile of being awed by the two of them we continued on to the Napali. The seas were a little bumpy but the northwest winds that were predicted didn’t really materialize, so we continued and were treated to the magnificence of the Na Pali Coastline. We came across several whales on our return and were treated to a few slow tail submersions (deep dives).

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.

Well it’s the final day of 2008 and the Napali Coast really delivered today.
We had some very heavy rains last night. This resulted in the most spectacular waterfall show I have ever seen on the Na Pali Coast. I counted 25 waterfalls, all within view at the same time.

We had a great dolphin encounter, whales all over the place, and we watched some surfers take on the huge swells. One of the surfers took a big fall and snapped his board in half. We picked him up and gave him a ride in.

Overrall an awesome way to say goodbye to 2008 and hello to a great 2009.

Captain Chris, Bill, and Danney want to wish all of you a Happy New Year!

The weather is absolutely PERFECT on today’s Napali Coast Tour.

The water was very calm and the rain is slowing down dramatically. We were able to get into the open ceiling cave and the pirates cave. Dolphins were showing off and we even saw some sea turtles.

The whales are beginning to show up in big numbers. We saw some whales breaching in the distance.

Just another perfect day on the Napali Coast in Kauai.

Wow! It was a beautiful day on the Napali Coast in Kauai. Water was calm and we saw a LOT of dolphins enjoying the sunshine. We came across a massive pod of dolphins as they came up to the boat and did a great show for us. The whales were out and we were able to see several as they dove for the deep.

Hope everyone has an awesome and fantastic Christmas. See you soon!
