点评:My daughter and I just experienced the most amazing Whale Watch with Kala ( owner) and Lono (Captain) at Haleiwa Shark Tours.
Prior to launch, the safety briefing was excellent, making me feel quite comfortable once we were on the open water.
I have, previously, been on whale watch tours, ( and they were great!), but never with these two men born and raised in Hawai’i who have so much knowledge of ancient culture, local geography and wildlife. We were so fortunate to have them bring this knowledge and share it.
We observed 3 different pods of whales, different species of fish, Galapagos sharks, and an Iwa bird who decided to grace us with its presence by riding along for a bit… less than 6 feet away… and stayed for photos, or maybe just to share its spirit!
The Kamohoali’i sliced through the waves like butter for a most enjoyable ride, and the sunset return was amazing!
Thank you, Kala and Lono for orchestrating such a wonderful adventure!
I would highly recommend Haleiwa Shark Tours for your next Whale Watch!
PS: on return, there appeared to be a boat in distress with a passenger waving his arms at us, the Kamohoali’i promptly went to investigate and help. Turns out, the fellow was just excited about a whale sighting.
Just another example of the responsible, amazing crew on this trip!

翻译:我和女儿刚刚在哈雷瓦鲨鱼之旅 (Haleiwa Shark Tours) 体验了一次令人难忘的观鲸之旅,船长是卡拉 (Kala)(老板)和洛诺 (Lono)。
出发前,安全讲解非常到位,让我在开阔水域上感到十分安心。
我之前也参加过观鲸之旅(而且都很棒!),但从未和这两位在夏威夷土生土长的男士一起出海,他们对古老的文化、当地的地理和野生动物都了如指掌。我们非常幸运能与他们分享这些知识。
我们看到了三群不同的鲸鱼、各种鱼类、加拉帕戈斯鲨,还有一只伊瓦鸟 (Iwa bird) 也出现在我们眼前,与我们同行了一会儿……距离不到 6 英尺……它停下来让我们拍照,或许只是想和我们分享它的灵气!
卡莫霍阿里伊号 (Kamohoali'i) 像切黄油一样劈开波浪,航行体验非常愉快,返程时的日落景色更是美不胜收!
感谢卡拉和洛诺,为我们安排了如此精彩的冒险之旅!
我强烈推荐您下次观鲸之旅选择 Haleiwa Shark Tours!
附注:返程途中,我们遇到一艘船似乎遇险,船上有一位乘客向我们挥舞手臂。Kamohoali’i 号船员立即前往查看并提供帮助。结果发现,那位乘客只是因为看到了鲸鱼而兴奋不已。
这再次证明了我们这次旅行的船员们是多么尽职尽责、热情周到!
