Great time! Loved that it was only our family & 1 other family. Cliff jump waas scary fun. So many fish to see & even saw manta ray. No dolphins but that was fine with us. Just enough kayaking for us.

Such a great little kayaking trip! It was overcast and a bit rainy but the cliff jumping was still fun and we had tons of time to explore underwater and snorkel.

Hunter_H

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Miles was a great guide; he was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. We got to jump off a cliff, kayak into the mind-blowing Dragon’s Throat cave, and snorkel in the clearest waters I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend this!

Lynnette_C

Miles was a very good/helpful guide. We were safe and had a blast. Loved the lava tube! And the snorkeling was great.

Lynn W

Absolutely loved every minute of this trip. The scenery is beautiful and the snorkeling spot was great with clear water, plenty of fish, and best of all no one else in sight! We have kayaked and snorkeled a lot in the past and this is a trip we would do every time we come here now! Highly recommend.

The tour was amazing! Def a must if you are in Kona. It was safe and an amazing experience, the snorkeling was great. You get to see sea life in an unforgettable way.

This tour was the highlight of our trip. Our guide Ryan was super patient waiting for whale and dolphin activity (which we saw!) and knowledgeable on the island’s history, as well as very interactive with the cliff jumping, going up there twice. Thank you for a fun experience, we will definitely recommend doing this!

Our kayaking adventure with King Kayak was unforgettable! Miles, our guide, was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He made my partner and I feel very comfortable with something we were not very familiar with. We left promptly at 7am. We kayaked from the Outrigger bay area and headed south. Awesome views of the coast and the water was pretty calm. We were both apprehensive about cliffjumping but I'm so glad we both did it! It was such a thrill! After this the water started to get a bit choppy and we both got pretty seasick, but that didn't take away from the experience. When we got to the snorkeling spot I forgot my phone was in my lap and it went into the water when I jumped out and it sunk right to the bottom, but Miles was determined to get it for me, and gratefully he did. I am so thankful! 🙏 We had a great time and my only recommendation for others is to eat something like a banana before you go out! It'll help with seasickness to have something in your stomach! Thanks again, Miles! Awesome experience. 🤙

So these guys first canceled my booking just a day before "due to weather". Well I was in Hawaii on that day "Surprise"; I didn't find anything bad with weather... pathetic and unreliable!! so far I have not seen refund in my account. I know it takes few days, but as far as I know it start showing up as pending on the same day... will wait for couple of more days before raising despute to my credit card company.
