    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.

    We had an amazing experience with Kona Boys on their kayak and snorkeling tour! My wife, daughter, and I were lucky to have Bam as our guide—he was fantastic. From the start, he made sure we felt comfortable, informed, and safe. The kayaking in the bay was beautiful, and the snorkeling was absolutely unforgettable. The whole crew worked hard to make the day fun, smooth, and memorable. Highly recommend Kona Boys if you're visiting the Big Island—this tour was a highlight of our trip!
