About Kauai South Side Whale and Dolphin Zodiac Adventure

Z Tourz 2 hours 30 minutes

Head out from Kauai's south shore on a small-group Zodiac adventure built for guests who want to get close to the action. Departing from Kukui'ula Harbor Beach in Poipu, the tour uses 25-foot Hurricane vessels to search the open water for humpback whales, dolphins and other marine life. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The ride is fast, low to the water and more adventurous than a traditional sightseeing cruise. Your Coast Guard-certified captain and crew share information about whale behavior and the surrounding marine ecosystem while adjusting the route based on wildlife activity and ocean conditions. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Group size is limited to 14 guests, keeping the experience personal and giving everyone a clear view from the boat. Snacks, bottled water, safety gear and a dry bag for personal belongings are included. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
