Private Charter

Having lived on the Big Island for years, I can tell you there's nothing quite like having the pristine Kona waters all to yourself. This private charter adventure lets you escape the crowds with your own boat, captain, and snorkel guide for four unforgettable hours.

Your journey begins at Honokohau Harbor, where you'll meet your dedicated crew who know these waters like the back of their hand. What makes this experience special? Complete flexibility. Want to snorkel the vibrant coral reefs? Explore hidden coves along the coast? Or simply cruise and soak up that famous Kona sunshine? Your captain adapts the itinerary to whatever your group craves.

Everything you need comes included – snorkel gear for all 12 possible passengers, plus expert guidance from locals who've been diving these reefs for decades. Certified divers can even arrange scuba diving for an additional fee, taking your private charter Kailua-Kona experience to the next level.

The boat comfortably handles groups from intimate couples to full families or friend groups. Pricing starts from $1,900 plus tax for up to 6 guests, with additional passengers at $265 plus tax each. Need more time on the water? Extensions are available for an extra fee – trust me, four hours goes by quickly when you're having this much fun.

A few practical notes: groups of 7 or more need 72-hour cancellation notice (smaller groups need 48 hours) for full refunds. Tour insurance offers extra flexibility with just 12 hours notice. This adventure isn't suitable for guests with mobility limitations due to boat access requirements.

Ready to create memories that'll last a lifetime? This private charter Kailua-Kona experience delivers the exclusive Big Island ocean adventure your group deserves.
