"Captain Kiko is a serious yacht master, equally skilled in nautical construction as in sailing.  He knows every river and cove on the island, and he delights in showing off secluded haunts that a visitor would never discover on their own.  You’ll learn more about Hawaii in the course of a couple of hours casual conversation than you would ever find in even the best tourist guide books." read more
