top points to answer with a bit of explanation

Answer 1

Here in Hawaii, I go whale watching from my kayak.  A couple days ago I even had a pod of about 50 spinner dolphins surround me!  If you plan on kayaking off shore, make sure someone in your group has a VHF Marine Radio  in case of emergency.  Don't plan on paddling if the winds are strong.  Keep your life vest and whistle (required by coast guard) handy.

Answer 2

I'd probably go whale watching for few reasons:  1. whale watching is more expensive than kayaking,  2. Whales make beautiful photos, so bring your camera.  3.  Whales are a rarer sight than to go kayaking (which you could try at home and rent one for approx. $30/day, take lessons, etc)near your local river, lake or ocean..  

I would love to do both, but given that we had to choose...

BUT, for entertainment, here is a video with both kayaking and whale watching....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBSOOPWQZ...
