Meet Captain J’s crew in Eleele for a two-hour open-air raft ride along Kauai’s coast. Captains such as Andrew, Ryan, and Andy search for winter humpbacks, dolphins, and flying fish, with hydrophone listening when conditions allow. Expect fast turns, sea spray, music, and a small-group feel.
“You will get soaked if you sit in the back, not fun. Definitely not worth the money. Not a whale in sight.”
Join Orca Spirit Adventures in Victoria for a three-hour winter Zodiac trip with a marine naturalist, full flotation suit, and hydrophone. Search for humpback whales, Bigg’s killer whales, seals, sea lions, otters, and coastal birds while taking in views toward the Olympic Peninsula.
“This tour was fun and enjoyable, even in the rain! We walked around town, taste tested a range of food and, learnt so much about the history of the area. It felt good to support local businesses.”
Spend about three hours looking for whales from Reykjavik’s Old Harbour, then return for a two-hour evening cruise in search of the aurora. English commentary, warm overalls, blankets, a wildlife exhibition, and a free return option for missed sightings are included. Food, drinks, and hotel transfers cost extra.
“Very cool experience, got to watch humpback whales feeding. We didn’t catch the Aurora this time around but if you don’t see it they give you a voucher gift next time!”
Pick an animal, a boat or a season.
