Aloha! If you are looking to enjoy a fantastic time exploring Kauai, join me on a private tour! I am Kate, a local Naturalist. So what is a Naturalist you ask? Someone who can get you out into Nature to enjoy Hiking, Snorkeling, Whale Watching and more! Imagine a hike to a waterfall, or a secluded beach, touring historical landmarks, and the hidden trails of Kauai all while really getting to know the place on a deeper level. A bit about me: I attended the University of Hawaii for Biology and Marine Science. I have worked for Pacific Whale Foundation with Humpback Whales, as a Coral Reef Ecologist, and a Maritime Cultural Anthropologist. I have planted thousands of koa trees and other native plants in Hakalau National Forest as a way to preserve the habitat of our inland native birds. I love to sail canoe, surf, scuba dive, and perform Hawaiian music for fun. I am passionate about being a great tour guide. I love to get to know each group of people and really give them a good experience exploring the island. I create custom tours in line with optimal weather conditions of the day and whatever special things might be happening on island. I strive to bring out the best experience possible for visitors of Kauai by sharing Aloha through music, culture, nature, food, photography, art, and interactions with great people! We can talk about anything under the sun, or nothing at all! Either way, it will be a great experience as Kauai is one of the most magical places on Earth. I can't wait to show it to you! E Komo Mai!

Kauai Marine Life and Culture: Turtles, monk seals, whale watching, and Cultural Connections. During the winter months the Humpback whales migrate to Hawaii from Alaska to breed in our warm tropical waters. This is an exciting time to see mother and baby whales, competition pods, and observe the unusual mating rituals of the Humpback Whale. We will explore the south shore of Kauai, stopping off at the Spouting Horn, and Mahaulepu sea cliffs to observe the Humpbacks in their offshore habitat. We will make a stop off at Poipu beach to take in the sights and maybe see a sea lion and sea turtle or two! Poipu Beach was rated America's best beach by the Travel Channel, ranking #1 of the ten best beaches selected Nationwide.
We will begin our tour with an easy hike along the sea cliffs of Mahaulepu to watch the surfers and fisherman, also observe the Humpback Whale and Shearwaters in their natural surroundings. Next we will head to Poipu beach, stopping at Heiau Hoouluia along the way. Hawaiian sea turtles (honu) and Hawaiian Monk seals! We will take a stroll through a Botanical Garden to enjoy the lush landscape, native plants and the canoe garden of the ancient Hawaiians. We finish our tour at the spouting horn a local favorite where there is an opportunity for great photos. Exploring Kauai with a private guide offers a great amount of flexibility in itinerary.
