Aloha Kayak Review: Thanks so much for the great advice about where to find great snorkeling and dolphins.
Iwa,
I just wanted to drop you a note about how much fun we had with your kayak. Thanks so much for the great advice about where to find great snorkeling and dolphins.
To any perspective customers I would like to say this: When you are signing wavers for tours or other rental gear notice who you are doing business with. I have nothing against big business but when in Hawaii do business with Hawaiians and leave your money on the Big Island. Go to the Farmer's Market not the big box stores. When your doing business with Aloha Kayak your doing business with a local man who grew up in the waters you want to explore and he will use the money to build his business and raise his family.
Iwa, See you next time my friend- we are already counting the days.
Mahalo,
Karl and Janet Engel Bellingham, WA 2009, 2010, and looking forward to 2012
Comments for Aloha Kayak Review: Thanks so much for the great advice about where to find great snorkeling and dolphins.
Kayaking to Cooks Monument was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Our tour guide Iwa couldn’t have been any better, from the start he made sure we were fitted correctly with snorkeling gear and took the time to fit each person individually, since we had people with us who had never snorkeled or kayaked ……as we launch the kayaks into the bay we sighted a whale right in front of us and as we crossed the bay we were delighted by the sight of spinner dolphins jumping. Upon landing at Cook’s Monument Iwa helped us out of our Kayaks and gave us a tour and history of the area…..it was so enlightening to learn the history of the Hawaiians and Captain Cook…… the snorkeling was incredible, the variety of fish and coral is not to be missed and if you are lucky (as I was) you will snorkel with a sea turtle….This tour gave me the best adventure I have ever had and I know that without our Guide Iwa the experience wouldn’t have been the same. I highly recommend this tour.

Thank you for a wonderful tour by: Peter D.
My wife and our 20-year-old daughter and I called Aloha Kayak the day before our tour, from the other side of the island, and spoke to Iwa, who was extremely helpful and forthright concerning weather patterns and the best time to have good snorkeling conditions. We left Hilo early Monday morning and arrived at the shop in Honalo around 8:30AM. As it turned out, we three were the only reservation for the tour that morning, but no worries, it went on as scheduled. John was our tour guide and was most helpful and knowledgeable about the Captain Cook monument and the general history of the area. We already had experience kayaking and snorkeling, and in fact brought our own snorkeling gear. The instructions and briefings at every point before, during, and after the tour were very thorough, reminding me of pre-dive briefings for scuba.
Our trip was in late August, and we had excellent weather that day. We spent over an hour snorkeling over the coral reef at the monument, and saw many species of fish, which we could identify via the helpful color charts that John brought along. Kayaking back across the bay, the wind was at our backs, making for easier paddling; we were regaled by more interesting stories by John about Captain Cook and about a recent shark visit.
After exiting the water with the kayaks and rinsing ourselves and our gear in a fresh-water shower, we had to hustle along (we had driven our rental car to the landing zone) and hit the road quickly, as we had an appointment late in the afternoon back in Hilo. So we missed the visit to the coffee coop, which would have been very much enjoyed.
I would highly recommend the Aloha Kayak company and crew if you are in the Kona area and would enjoy a unique opportunity to paddle a kayak across a beautiful bay and then snorkel a lovely coral reef at the foot of the Captain Cook monument. Iwa, John, and the crew are top-shelf!

The Best Tour of All by: Jennie-Tucson,AZ
I have been snorkeling on Oahu and Maui. Of these three islands this tour takes you to the best place of all. The water is so clear that you can see everything in all directions. The coral is colorful, the fish variety is vast, and our guide (Keane spelling?) was the best. He is knowledgeable with the area, the history, and is so patient. No matter what your experience this tour is for you.

Thanks to Nick and all at Aloha Kayak. by: Bodley family
This is a heart felt thankyou to Nick. You made our trip so much more meaningful, with all your sincere information and help, you made us better travelers. Our grand-daughters recognized the importance of Hawaiian based business and respect, not just looking for a good time. And for your help when one of us was not as sea-worthy as we thought in a kayak! Our strongest recommendations for the Aloha Kayak team; they will take care of you.
