Hawaii Private Boat Charters

We booked this charter primarily for snorkeling, with sightseeing and fishing as secondary goals. Despite calling twice before the trip to express concerns about a 30 mph wind forecast, we were repeatedly told it was fin... moree to proceed.

On the day of the trip, the conditions were so poor that other local companies canceled their snorkeling tours. Our captain even explicitly stated that snorkeling was unsafe. We pivoted to whale watching, but saw nothing due to the weather; the conditions were so miserable we had to cut the trip short.

Most disappointing was the company’s response. When I reached out, they claimed snorkeling was still possible "for strong swimmers"—a reckless statement considering we had children with us and the waves were objectively dangerous. It’s clear this business prioritizes keeping your money over customer safety and satisfaction. Avoid this company; they do not have their customers' best interests in mind.

Everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a fantastic tour with a fun and experienced crew. Saw the sights, heard the history and made us want more. Thank you Kona and Captain for building our memories on Kauai. Those dolphins and whales provided a great ... moreshow!

Loved the crew and their stories and jokes. Also loved hearing about the history and culture of this beautiful part of the world.

Great experience seeing real life, wild whales!!!!

The crew was fantastic and the views were wonderful!!
