There are all kinds of fun things for you to discover while you’re staying on Kauai shores, and many of them have to do with nature. There’s a little something for everyone, from the breathtaking beaches to the incredible waterfalls, canyons, and volcanos! If there’s one activity you don’t want to miss out on while you’re in Kauai, it’s whale watching! Whale watching in Kauai is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it’s something you and your family won’t want to miss. During your stay in our Kauai condo rentals, make plans to go whale watching!
The Season
First, it’s essential to understand that whale watching in Kauai is best during whale watching season. You can spot humpback whales gracing the waters of Kauai from December through May. Luckily, since these months tend to be the coldest in other parts of the world, you might already be planning your vacation for this season to escape the chilly conditions of home! During this season, whales come to Kauai to breed and raise their young calves before heading back to their native waters.

Tours
So, what’s the best way to make sure you can spot the most majestic whales? Kauai whale watching tours! While there are many options for tours, we highly recommend the Poipu Whale Watching Tours available through Kauai Vacation Activities. This Kauai boat tour will put you on board a 65-foot catamaran with comfortable seats and a fabulous upper observation deck.
Once you’re on board, you’ll tune into your captain as they tell you all about Kauai and the beautiful sights and sounds you’re experiencing throughout your journey. Your captain will then take you out to the best spot to see humpback whales, so you can watch them playing and splashing around in their natural habitat! You’ll also be provided with cocktails, soft drinks, and appetizers.
This tour costs $90 per child ages 1-11, $105 per teen ages 12-17, and $120 per adult ages 18+.
What to Expect
Now, what can you expect when you head out on tour to go whale watching in Poipu, Kauai? Of course, you can expect some truly breathtaking views of the islands and the waters surrounding them. You’ll also have an incredible time with your captain and will learn all kinds of interesting facts about the islands and the whales you’re about to see.
You can also spot humpback whales on your tour, of course! While spotting whales is not a guarantee, there’s a good chance of it since your captain will know the spots where these creatures tend to hand out in the water. When you come on your tour, bring sunscreen and perhaps a hat or sunglasses, and you might even want a pair of binoculars to get the best view of the whales.
