I want to send out a Big Mahalo to all of the “Sea Riders” who have gone out on our Whale Watching excursions this year! So Far, we have had a remarkable season and some amazing encounters! Several sightings of Entangled and distressed or deceased Humpbacks as well, So I want you to know that you have also contributed to Whale Research when you go out on our 2 Hour PM Excursions!

We also sponsor Outreach for the children of Kaua’I and help various non-profit organizations who could not contribute monetarily.

This season we have 3 NOAA Teacher Workshops with Jean Souza and volunteers from the Kaua’I Marine Sanctuary.

We also comp a teenage Hawaiian Mentorship program and Hale Opio ( )

Whale Watching Fund Raiser for “Surf Haiti” a great, non-profit organization that helps with getting Clean Water to the community there, still suffering from the Earthquake.

I have been blessed with the vessel and the location— to be able to give back is amazing in this economy and without Your support that wouldn’t be possible!

Thankyou from Captain Tara and Crew @ Kaua’I Sea Riders!
