Kailua Pier Tours

Jess was our lovely guide for the day. She was very knowledgeable and the Historical Kona, coffee and turtle tour was great. Highly recommended

We had a great day with our tour guide and driver Jess. She shared so much interesting information. I learnt about the growing and production of coffee at Greenwell Coffee farm. Loved all the free coffee samples. The Painted Church was beautiful inside and the gardens lovely. Jess knew so much about Hawaiin plants we saw throughout the whole tour. The lunch spot was delicious local Hawaiin food. Lastly the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park and the beach where we saw the turtles. It was special to see them swimming in the shallow water just off the beach. Jess was very friendly and ensured we got to see everything in good time.

Ausom thoroughly enjoyed food and crew

Well organized tour with friendly and helpful crew. Plenty of room on boat, plenty of equipment and a good time was had by all.

Our tour guide Ian was amazing and so knowledgeable. He deserves a raise and promotion. It was the best day ever.

It was everything we wanted. Our guide was personable, entertaining, and a wealth of knowledge. He took very good care of us and I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Very friendly staff and made you feel safe. Staff member collum went above and beyond checking in on us because i was so sea sick. He even offered ginger candy to help which it did and made a huge difference.

Absolutely amazing!! Our guide Olivia knew everything about the history and about the ghost experiences, she let us use their emf detectors. The walk was beautiful. Such a cool experience. A member of our group was named Kathy and her full name was Kathleen but we never said her full name and it appeared on the ghost detector app. Also I found what I think could be a ghost sitting at the top of the stairs of the church. Creepy!! Anyways I 100% recommend purchasing this tour it was amazing. You walk from the entrance of Kona inn bar and grill all the way to kamakahonu beach and stop at places along the way. Thank you so much for an amazing tour!!

We enjoyed every minute of this dinner cruise! We left the Kailua Kona pier and several Dolphins swam near us which was a wonderful start. We followed the coast with a local guide describing the places along the shore. We also had a musician providing lovely Hawaiian music. Dinner included a salad, followed by Chicken, mashed potatoes, greens and a roll. Finally, a delicious cheesecake for dessert. We saw a beautiful sunset as we were heading back to the pier. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the cruise. This trip was amazing and one of the best things to do when visiting the island of Hawaii!

It was such fun! Ellie was a fantastic tour host. We went to 7 different places in Kona and sampled delicious local foods and drinks. Ellie made it fun. It was a good way to introduce us to Kailua Kona.

We had great food, drinks, and weather. Ellie was a wonderful host, and knowegable about the area and history. Yay!

Olivia was very knowledgeable about the history of the island. She showed us where some sightings have happened. Those ghosts/spirits didn’t want to talk to us. It was very interesting and she did a great job!

We had the time of our lives with Captain Kai, Callum and Adam!Communication was on point from the moment we arrived early, by accident, and Adam was constantly checking in with us and other guests to make sure everyone had what they needed and where we were supposed to go. He really has a gift for kindness and hospitality. Captain Kai was clear and hilarious about what was happening, when, and our safety guidelines.We saw spinner dolphins spinning right out of the gate!It was my 8 year old’s first snorkel trip and I made the mistake of not practicing with him before the trip, so he was weirded out by the breathing mechanics of snorkeling. He was not having it, so the first snorkel spot we just hung out on the boat, and Adam was the most gracious host. He was so kind and went out of his way to make sure we had all the snacks, beverages, water we needed while we enjoyed the scenery. I could tell he felt bad that we weren’t snorkeling but it was all on me, and I was just happy to be out on the water.The next stop was Captain Cook and I couldn’t possibly miss that chance so I hopped in and my son was willing to give just the mask a try. One look under water and he was hooked! Adam’s patience and warmth along with Captain Kai’s encouragement made all the difference! The most heart warming part was sharing with them the excitement when it clicked for my son how incredible snorkeling is. They really cared that this little guy now knows how amazing snorkeling is, and it happened at that very moment!I’d like to thank Captain Kai for reminding us that Captain Cook is one of the best snorkeling spots in the world. My excitement encouraged my son to try again and completely turned the day around.Callum is able to snorkel down extremely far and would bring up specimens for us to safely see and touch! That was also a factor in getting my son more interested in trying the mask again. We felt calcium carbonate (I think?) urchin spines that were the wildest texture and material. He brought up other urchin shells, and 2 different sea cucumbers! He was extremely knowledgeable about the ocean life and Hawaiian Culture. His expertise gave us such a greater depth (See what I did there) to the experience.The playlist was great, and my son’s other favorite part of the trip was the “2 loops” the boat did on the way home for fun.If you’re thinking about renting a kayak and going yourself- don’t even bother. I’ve done that before in this cove and it was 1/4 the experience.The team created an opportunity for my son and I to have a once in a lifetime experience and I can’t thank them enough. They seem to really love their work and their joy is infectious. My son wanted to go again the next day.

Fantastic snorkel trip. The boat was a great vessel for snorkeling and the snorkel equipment was well maintained. The crew was a lot of fun and I would take the trip again.

A genuinely fun experience. Our guide Heather was very personable and had a wealth of knowledge about the local beliefs and traditions. Hearing the stories in this tour is the difference between "cool scenery" and understanding the significance of the history of the places.

Went to two amazing snorkle spots and saw SO much! Channing and Tepo were great! Super friendly and knowledgeable. The reefs were beautiful. Such a cool experience!
