Shore-based Whale Watching: Spend an afternoon at Lime Kiln Point State Park, a 36 acre day use park on the west side of San Juan Island considered one of the best places in the world to view orca whales from shore.
They advise boaters if they encounter an orca in the wild to stay 50 yards from it. This isn't the first siting of orcas near Florida this year. Boaters spotted a pod off the Florida Keys in the waters off Key Largo in July.
The best time of year to visit Kauai is during off-peak seasons, between September and December or between April and June. During these times you can avoid the crowds and enjoy lower prices on accommodations and excursions. Either way, be sure to book everything far in advance!
Kauai was apparently lowest in the pecking order of “The Mongoose Project”, so to this day the birds enjoy life here with few predators. Kauai is known for having a small snake population, too, so the only real threats to Kauai's chickens are cats, dogs, motorcycles and cars.
