These incredible shots were taken by Danney (crew man) while sitting on the bow of the raft. We had excellent conditions, even though it’s already well into October.

Kauai Whale Watching :: Double Whale Breach!

A beautiful day but definitely chilly as the temperature was down in the low 60s. The sun was coming up and it promised to be a great day. Going out we didn’t see any whales, so headed out quickly to the Napali Coast. The lighting was spectacular and the swell was down so we were able to get up close and personal with the Napali. On or return we encountered several whales and I was able to capture a dual breach as one whale breached in the foreground while another whale breached behind. We had several other encounters, the most powerful one was where four whales went directly under the boat and surfaced off the side of the boat.

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.
