    FAQs

    Yes. After you check in at the store in Kealakekua, you provide your own transportation to the launch site in Kealakekua Bay. Guides meet you at the launch site with outfitted kayaks, and you get an orientation with directions during check-in.

    Wear reef-safe sunscreen or a rashguard (surf shirt) with UV protection, since you are exposed to the sun for a good portion of the tour. Water shoes or sandals are also recommended because the landing area is a rocky shelf and can be slippery.

    Arrive on time for check-in so you can maximize your time on and in the water and avoid making other guests wait.

    Guides like Evan, Bamm, Steve, and Uncle Timmy consistently earn praise for making kayaking and snorkeling adventures genuinely special. Their enthusiasm for Hawaiian history and culture shines through, with guests particularly appreciating the detailed explanations about Captain Cook's monument and the ongoing coral restoration efforts at Kealakekua Bay. The team strikes a nice balance between being informative without overwhelming you, and they're patient with first-timers who might need extra reassurance in the water. The equipment is solid and well-maintained, and the outrigger canoe experiences offer a different but equally rewarding way to explore the coastline. Multiple reviewers highlight how personal these trips feel compared to larger tour operators. Guests frequently mention spotting spinner dolphins and exploring healthy reef systems with impressively clear water. The lunch provided gets consistent thumbs up too. The overall vibe is friendly and accommodating, with guides adapting to individual needs and comfort levels throughout the journey.

    Kona Boys is first rate! We took the morning kayak and snorkeling trip on Kealakekua Bay to the Captain Cook memorial. The logistics were perfect and our guide Evan was fantastic! He was most friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We also rented kayaks at the Kailua Kona Beach Shack that repeated the efficient, friendly service. Great outfit. Recommend them strongly.
