Guests should bring their swimsuits, towels, reef-safe sunscreen and additional sun protection, such as a hat and sunglasses. There is plenty of space on the Kona Style catamaran, so guests are welcomed to bring backpacks or bags to store their personal items. If guests have their own snorkel equipment, they are welcomed to bring that as well. We also carry multiple sets of snorkel equipment that guests can use if they do not have their own.

• Can I Bring My Camera?

Yes. We get incredible views of the Kona coastline and we regularly see whales (seasonal) and dolphins, so cameras are highly recommended. We also offer waterproof cell phone cases for purchase at our check-in location.

If the parents/guardians would like to rotate (i.e. – one in the water while the other stays on board with the child), we are always happy to accommodate.
