Specializing in south shore snorkeling and sightseeing, as well as seasonal whale watching (Jan-March), our 3 hour charters run three times a day for convenience and efficiency. We strive to provide the ultimate offshore experience and share the magic of Kauai's waters with our guests. We are looking forward to meeting you.
What's Included:
Gratuity is not included in your charter price.
Please specify what type of adventure you're looking for in the following booking steps and we will do our best to accommodate depending on weather and ocean conditions.
Best done on our morning departure, we'll cruise out during the early morning light and catch the famous Spouting Horn blowhole erupting a geyser of water from the black lava rock, usually sending an amazing rainbow of colors in its spray. We'll then search for our resident spinner dolphins who usually use the calmer morning waters as a safe haven for some rest and relaxation before heading out to our offshore reef areas to snorkel with the chill and majestic sea turtles, diverse tropical fish, and corals. After snorkeling, we'll offer some fresh pineapple, snacks, and tropical juices.
Join us on a seasonal whale watching tour to see the North Pacific Humpback Whales, or Kohola, in their natural habitat. Don't miss this unforgettable experience!
All tours are subject to the discretion of the captain and the conditions of the waters. Guests should be of sound body and mind, and have a sense of adventure as Kauai's waters are often exposed to open ocean winds and chop.
For the safety and well-being of all participants, our adventures are not suitable for individuals with neck and back problems, pregnancy, or other serious conditions. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
To ensure the comfort and enjoyment of all our guests, our tours are not suitable for those prone to seasickness. We recommend taking over-the-counter motion sickness preventatives as a precaution. No refunds will be given for rain, chop, or seasickness.
If the Captain deems the conditions unsafe, we will cancel and offer a full refund, or offer the ability to reschedule. We also adhere to a 24 hour cancellation policy. Any cancellations within 24 hours are subjected to a full charge, unless a valid emergency situation occurs.
