One of the simplest and most impactful Kona private boat charters. Kona Snorkel Trips offers two Manta snorkels nightly. The sunset manta is great for families with young kids.

Best Time to Book Kona Private Boat Charters

It’s best to book your Kona private boat charters well in advance. This is because we can only reserve a boat that is not already booked with guests. Sometimes our charters can book out months in advance so it’s best to reserve now. You can always cancel later if plans change. See our Kona Boat Charter page for more details on pricing, cancellation, and availability. Typically private tours will be harder to come by during high season periods. This is often when school is out running 2 months during summer, thanksgiving week, winter holidays, and spring break season. Whale watching is best from December – through April. There is a potential to see large animals throughout the year in Kona sometimes you only need to get out there and get lucky!
