Left the harbor and within what felt like seconds we were surrounded by dolphins. After interacting with the dolphins for a bit we set off to look for whales and had so many whale sightings. The captain was great and the crew kept the drinks and snacks flowing and were great with everyone who was on board. Definitely something I would recommend to anyone headed to the island.

The crew, Capt Ren, Josh, and Aaron, were great. They immediately put you and ease with fun music and cracking jokes. Luckily we were the last cruise of the day because after getting "skunked" regarding whales sightings for 2 hours, they extended our trip. Only see spinner dolphins until 2 plus hours in, whales began to breach. We got close and saw 2 males courting a female. Tails flapping, fins flapping, whales breaching.....awesome experience. Our 2 hours cruise was closer to 3+. Thanks Kauai Sea Tours!!!

Ok, can't say enough about the crew on this adventure! The Captain and two mates were fun, personable and just plain great people. Felt like we had known each other for years. Laid back but all business when coming to finding those whales and they did not dissapoint! Just when we were ready to throw in the towel, the Captain (wish I could remember her name) said "let's go out a little deeper" and sure enough, the whale dancing began...now with that being said, please remember, seeing the whales is not guaranteed, but you cannot go wrong with this crew. They are amazing and next time we are in Kauai, we will be booking another adventure with them. Can't thank you enough Kauai Sea Tours!!!!
