Private Whale Watch

Private Whale Watch Excursion

Face-to-face with Kauaʻi’s giant humpback whales

Join our Private Whale Watch Excursion—the only one of its kind on Kauaʻi. All of our whale watch tours are private charter only, giving your group the full boat, dedicated crew, and a front-row seat to experience the magic of humpback whales in a more intimate way.

Instead of venturing all the way to Na Pali, this tour stays closer to port; right in one of the most whale-rich areas on the island. That makes the experience shorter, more economical, and less physically demanding than our other tours.

We offer three different vessels to match your group size and comfort level.

Tour Options

6-Person Power Catamaran – 6pax
For smaller groups looking for an affordable, quality option. This 24-foot vessel offers incredible front-row seats to the action. Best for small parties who want an intimate, practical vessel, perfect for a Private Whale Watching Excursion.

Deluxe Power Catamaran – 18pax
Our 35-foot foil-assist power catamaran features spacious seating, generous shade, and a modern, smooth-riding hull design. It’s the ideal choice for larger groups or anyone seeking extra comfort.

Rafting Adventure – 14pax
Our most adventurous option. This high-speed, low-to-the-water vessel is perfect for active groups looking for a fun ride with unobstructed marine life views. Due to the bouncy nature of the ride, this vessel is not suitable for those with back, neck, or mobility concerns.

What to Expect

Our captains specialize in finding whales and sharing captivating facts, stories, and insights along the way. With a bit of luck, you might witness a breach, a tail slap, or a close pass. When ocean conditions allow, you’ll even get to listen to the whales through our onboard Bluetooth hydrophone which is an unforgettable experience.

This tour does not travel up the Na Pali Coast. Instead, we stay in local waters known to be rich with whale activity, which allows us to maximize your time with the whales and minimize transit times.
