Na Pali Eco-Tour – Summer 2010
Na Pali Coast
“Tara, we just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful Napali Coast snorkel trip. Your efforts to focus on our interests was truly appreciated. I was thrilled to be able to see the Spinner dolphins, Monk seals, Brown Boobies, Sea turtles, and all the tropical fish. It was a biologist’s dream come true. Wishing you a great summer season.” –Karen and Tony Santiago
NOW is the time to cruise and Snorkel Kauai’s NaPali Coast. The Na Pali is gorgeous right now - Sea Caves, Waterfalls, Spinner Dolphin and the rain of winter making the Sea Cliffs an emerald green! Read the rest of this entry »
Octopuses Garden
We had a great time as usual on our AM Snorkel Tour. Despite some choppy surface conditions, the Ocean was chrystal blue and we encountered a Hawaiian Octopus at the turtle resting area. The den of the octopus can be easily seen from the surface as an anomally on the reef. With broken shells and rocks topsy-turvy, close-by I noticed the animal changing colors in preparation to flee. Known by scientists to have eyes as complex as a humans’ and considered the most intelligent invertebrate on the planet. After a few photos, the animal was released next to his condo!
At Kaua’i Sea Riders we always seek the rare and unusual in small personalized groups. Nature runs the show and we never know what to expect! Looking forward to a great Summer Na Pali Season and continuing to explore the reefs around the Southshore on our 3 Hour Southshore Adventure.

As the whales wave goodbye and leave to go to their northern feeding grounds, I would like to take the time to thank all the passengers that made this 2009-2010 Whale Season, such a success! Kaua’i Sea Riders can’t accomplish the Research without the Outreach ! Mahalo!
Here’s a sampling of the comments we received this season… Read the rest of this entry »
It’s a Fluke!!
The underside of a Whales’ Tail is unique to each individual, hence a modern way of tagging and counting the North Pacific Humpback Whales is done through digital photography. Our Presidents Day Charter Passengers had a rare and close encounter and I would like to share these Humback whale visions from Alexa Boyes. Mahalo Alexa!
Whales!!!
Megaptera novengliae
They’re Back! The North Pacific Humpback whales are frolicing along Kaua’i shores once again! What a great blessing to view these animals in a respectful manner from the Zodiac. Please join us for an experience like no other in the winter months! I will let the passengers blog and share photos for me in the coming weeks so that I can concentrate on Charters and Acoustic Research while the Gentle Giants are here!
A Hui Hou! Cap’t Tara
