It started out to be a beautiful day, one of those one-of-a-kind, except here on the Na Pali, it seems to happen more than once in a while. Dolphins, turtles, whales, breaching mom and baby whales, snorkeling, surfing, and a gorgeous sunny warm day. We got to order everything on the menu and ate it all up.

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.
