You probably already know that dolphins are friendly and fun, but did you know that baby dolphins are born with mustaches or that they sleep with one eye open? No matter how much you know about these sweet creatures, there is always more to learn and be thrilled by, making your Hawaii vacation the ideal time to go dolphin watching on Kauai. It’s also the perfect time to learn how much you can get used to the luxe life when you choose to stay in one of our Premier Kauai cottages on the beach.
When Is the Best Time to Spot Dolphins in Kauai?
The summer months, from May to September, are the best time of the year for Kauai dolphin watching. Additionally, it is much better to seek the dolphins in the early morning hours.
Why a Kauai Dolphin Adventure Feels Different
Your Kauai dolphin tour is not just going to feel different; it will BE different for a variety of reasons. First, there are no captive dolphins on Kauai. We are devoted to conserving the slippery creatures, and so your “interactions” will be on the dolphin’s terms, not the humans. And because dolphins live here year-round, you will have more of a chance to encounter them while on any tour, especially as the operators know where the pods like to hang out.
What Makes Kauai a Haven for Spinner Dolphins?
A large portion of the Kauai dolphin population is made up of spinner dolphins. Named for their mid-air spins and acrobatics, which are used for communication and for getting rid of pesky parasites, these lovely creatures thrive in calm, shallow waters, especially in protected coves or near shore. These nocturnal hunters sleep and socialize during the day.
Leave with More Than Just Dolphin Photos
A Hawaiian vacation and a Kauai dolphin tour are going to leave you with more than just dolphin photos. Chances are, on your tour, you will also encounter sea turtles and other creatures of the sea, and you will be left breathless by the dramatic Kauai scenery.
