Great whale watch! - We took our 4 year old for her first whale watch and were not disappointed. Captain Nohili and CJ were kind and courteous and led a very safe and fulfilling experience. Would book with them again!

Amazing Whale Watching Experience! Dolphin bonus! - We had an incredible time on our 2-hour whale-watching charter! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and enjoyable. The crew (CAPT. NOHILI and CJ) were absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made sure everyone was comfortable and provided interesting insights about the whales and the local marine life. We were lucky to spot several whales, and it was truly breathtaking. The boat was well-maintained, and the entire trip felt smooth and well-organized. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable experience on the water, I highly recommend this charter. We’ll definitely be back for another trip!

Great Crew & Beautiful Whales - We went out with Captain Andrew & Matt and would highly recommend them! Kind, funny and informative. Saw lots of humpbacks and boobies (those are birds folks). The ride can be rough in the swells so I wouldn’t recommend it you have back or neck issues but Andrew keeps it as smooth as he can. Just a great day on the water!

Top Notch Whale Watch - A great whale watch on Kauai. Very nice vessel - comfortable seating and fast. Our captain did a great job finding and getting us to the whales. Would definitely do again (and we have been on many whale watches with all of the companies on Kauai).
