About this tour

Charter the 46-foot Namaka for a private excursion tailored to your group. Whether you want to dive, snorkel, whale watch, or combine them all, the day is yours to design. The boat accommodates up to 24 divers and snorkelers comfortably, with a maximum capacity of 36 passengers. All private charters include catered snacks and beverages, dive guides, and full dive and snorkel equipment. The crew selects sites based on the day's water conditions, choosing locations with the best visibility and calmest seas along the Kohala Coast. The boat features heated showers, a private head, easy boarding ladders, a freshwater camera rinse station, and an extensive marine life library. Ride-alongs who prefer to stay on the boat are welcome, and uncertified divers in your group can book a Discover Scuba course or open water certification to join the charter. Open to all ages, making it ideal for family celebrations, special occasions, or a memorable day on the water with friends. A 7-day advance cancellation notice is required for private charters.
