This early morning tour is a great opportunity to kayak in the cooler hours of the day, and the waters are generally calmer then too!
Paddling Kona’s clear, pristine waters since 1994, Ocean Safaris Kayak Adventures has introduced countless visitors and kama’aina (island locals) to the fast-growing sport of kayaking. We focus on small groups of adventurers, making safety and fun our top priority. Every kayak tour is different and may include dolphin and whale watching, snorkeling, sea cave exploration, and maybe even cliff jumping. You may see tidal pools filled with eels, sea turtles, and colorful tropical fish. Join us on an ocean adventure!

Brian took us out on a kayak trip and it was wonderful. It was a bit windy and we paddled hard but it was totally worth it. We saw fish and an email and watched Brian jump off a cliff. We lost sunglasses but he recovered them. It was a great day.
– Janie L. | TripAdvisorGreat tour! They encouraged us not to take our camera's as they would be taking pictures and video's they would be emailing to us. They gave even gave our son the go pro to use while he was snorkeling. The drawback only negative will be if we don't receive the video.
– James L. | TripAdvisorWe did the early morning kayak/dolphin quest trip. The two hour length was perfect for our seven year old, who has a short attention span. JC (our guide) was wonderful with him. He had never kayaked or snorkeled before and JC was so patient with him. He snorkeled twice, which he still talks about. We didn't see any dolphins, but it was still a wonderful experience due to the our great guide.
– Tim C. | TripAdvisorIt was awesome. We were three couples, 2 per boat. The kayaking was strenuous but well worth it. We explored 2 caves, swam, snorkeled, jumped off a cliff, had some snacks. My husband and I really enjoyed the experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the area too!
