Join us for an afternoon of observing Humpback whales during their seasonal migration to Hawaii for calving, nursing and mating. As the whales breach, blow and tail slap, we will listen to their songs through our state-of-the-art hydrophone. This exciting tour includes light snacks and cold beverages (no alcohol provided).
Our spacious and versatile super raft has an unobstructed viewing deck for a front-row seat for viewing these gentle giants. Your friendly captain and crew will share interesting and educational information about the Humpback whales, and their migration to Hawaii each year.

Frequently Asked Questions
All guests are provided with a 10 Liter dry bag which has ample space for a towel, photography equipment, mobile phones, sunscreen and other small equipment or necessary medications.

All guests should wear shoes that can be easily removed and left in the dock bin, such as slippers/flip flops. Guests should be dressed with the expectation of getting wet, this means boardshorts and swim trunks for men and bathing suits for women as well as any other T-shirt/bottoms etc. that you don’t mind getting wet.

Our 37’ NAIAD Kauai Voyager I super raft, built in 2020, was so impressive, we ordered another one. Captain J’s now has two NAIAD Super Rafts (Voyager 1 and 2) offering more space and comfort than any other zodiac or raft on Kaua’i. Our tour guests enjoy individual seating and comfort comparable to a larger catamaran while also experiencing the maneuverability and speed required to access the NaPali Coast’s smaller sea caves and waterfalls. A fully equipped restroom on board also alleviates a common concern with this style of boat, while wrap-around safety rails enhance this versatile craft to make it safer for everyone. A sturdy swim ladder enhances the snorkel tour experience with safe entry and exit from the water. There truly is no better way for the adventurous soul to experience the NaPali Coast than from one of Captain J’s luxury rafts.
Although our Super Rafts do offer a smooth, comfortable, and mostly dry ride, it should still be understood that our boat tours bring you into the rugged Na Pali Coast, where things can and do get exciting. Guests with the following conditions are not allowed on our tours for safety reasons:
· If you are pregnant
· If you have back or neck issues
· If you have had a recent surgery
· If you have issues with your balance
· Infants and children under 7 years old
All passengers must be able to walk onto the vessel unassisted. If you have questions about accessibility or if you are unsure about your suitability for our Kauai boat tours, please give us a call at (808) 633-4237
No full-face snorkel masks are allowed on our tours for safety reasons.
Check-in starts 45 minutes prior to listed departure times, and all guests must arrive no later than 15 minutes prior to departure, to allow time for the captain to provide a necessary safety briefing and a short walk to the harbor.
Please be mindful, Kauai is a rural island, and there are frequent and on-going construction, tree trimming, utility work, and unforeseen delays are common when traveling around the island. Always allow more time than you think, we don’t want you to miss your tour!
