Whale sightings and more - Kaleo is an amazing captain. Our boat rode like a jet ski - very fun and fast. We saw dolphins, mana rays and whales up close. Best part of our trip.

Super whale watch - Kaleo was simply fantastic! Born and raised here just off the beach, he knew every nook and cranny and where to find the whales and we were not disappointed. Some right up close to the boat. The perfect experience. Mahalo!

Whale watching with Kaleo. - We had a great time! Loved learning about the island and saw a lot of whales. Kaleo was a great captain and really navigated the ocean well. Love that we supported a family business.
