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.

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.

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!

Kauai Napali Coast Waterfalls

What can we say? So much rain that all we have to report are that the waterfalls are just spectacular.

Kauai Napali Coast

After 3 straight days of torrential rains we were finally able to get out to Na Pali Coast. We were the only boat out on the Na Pali, so our passengers literally had Kauai all to themselves.

The water was dark chocolate color, so needless to say it didn’t look very inviting for a snorkel. However, the waterfalls were unbelievable!

Kauai Activities :: Napali Coast Whale Watching

Well, it looks like the whales are really starting to stake their claim on Kauai. We saw several females right offshore. They were acting very shy and tracking them was tough. We were still able to observe them for about 30 minutes.

Ran into a large pod of dolphins within 20 minutes of launching out of the harbor. Lots of mothers and babies.

We even saw flying fish jumping all around us. (Yes, there are fish that can fly)

We headed on down the Na Pali and were able to get into the Open Ceiling Cave. It has been awhile since the seas were calm enough for us to get into this cave, and we felt luck to do this in the middle of December of all times!

Yet another FANTASTIC day on the Na Pali.

Awesome Day!

First we ran into a HUGE pod of Spinner dolphins. There were at least a hundred of them. They were jumping and spinning all around us. Lots of mothers with babies. The babies were showing off as they jumped out of the water. We hung out with them for awhile and then went on to the whales.

We came across a lone, male Humpback whale right off of Majors Bay. We counted seven breaches in a row!

Seas were not bad as we left out of Kikiaola Harbor. We could see some dark clouds building but we got lucky and were able to stay dry during our entire Na Pali ride (on the way up that is…).

We went up to Tunnels Beach on the North shore and passengers were able slip into the nice, calm bay. We saw several really large green sea turtles as they swam by.

The waves were sizable and we were able to watch some pretty wild surfers as they took on the swells.

On the way back we spotted a small pod of dolphins and stopped to watch them as they swam around the boat.

Returning to the harbor, we had a wet and wild ride. The storm clouds were upon us! We bravely battled Mother Nature. We got back to the Harbor but were thoroughly soaked. Man was it FUN!

Kauai Whale Watching Tours :: Thar She Blows!

Awesome day today. We saw our first whale of the season. As we approached, it leaped out of the water in a full breach. This was followed by a series of loud tail slaps. Even over 100 yards distance we could hear its massive fluke slapping down on the water. This lone male whale stayed in one spot as it sounded below the water in search for any other whales in the area. Being one of the first whales to visit Kauai this season, it may have been feeling lonely after it’s 3,000 mile journey over to the Islands.

The surprises didn’t end there…..we ran into a rare sighting of Bottlenose dolphins. These dolphins are much larger than their cousins the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin.
