The Kamanu Catamaran

The “Kamanu Catamaran” is Kona’s only custom 36′ catamaran built for speed and comfort. She’s 22 feet wide, making for a large stable platform with an expansive “trampoline” or webbing net up forward for lying on. Soak in the sun and watch the ocean flow by you as you gaze through the net into the deep blue on a catamaran tour of Big Island Hawaii. Relax in the shaded open air cabin area and “talk story” with the captain and first mate.

Why Customers Love Kamanu Catamaran

We had a wonderful ,relaxing voyage! Captain and his assistant were very friendly, informative and funny! It was a beautiful evening-we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect excursion.

Amazing opportunity to get sunset pictures. Enjoyed the company of the others on the boat and the boat crew.

We did the Sunset Cruise. Our captain was very patient, and waited 20 minutes for a couple who said they were 2 minutes away, and never did show up. That doesn't include the 30 minutes prior to launch that everyone was told to arrive at. Great crew, beautiful sunset, mai tais, beer and wine were great, and the food was more than anticipated for appetizers. Definitely would recommend!

We loved our sailing and snorkeling trip! The team was wonderful, and it was magical to snorkel and see the fish. We even saw Eagle Rays, swimming in parallel, a breaktaking highlight for us. Thank you!

Beautiful snorkelling trip with a great crew. Small group, very personable and friendly crew. Really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend to anyone who would love to enjoy snorkelling without the crowds.

Captain Peter or Paul and first mate Patrick were awsome on our sunset sail out of Kona. My son wanted a sailing catamaran not a motor sail and I found Kamanu on yelp. It did not disappoint, the crew snd boat was fabulous. Felt more intimate then the larger tours. You can’t go wrong with this crew.

Marian draws only 2 1/2 feet of water which means it can safely bring guests within inches of the coral reef.

We offer fun, educational, reef tours with an onboard narrator. We also offer private charters including Ash Scatterings at Sea, Private Sunset Charters, and private reef tours. See the links above for more information and book your glass bottom tour in Kona online today!

This was so great! We really enjoyed seeing all the fish, the coral and all the knowledge from our guide! I would definitely recommend! Thanks for a great experience!

We really enjoyed this excursion! Our very knowledgeable and personable guide Amy, did a fantastic job explaining everything. Her narrative was informative and well-presented. Lots of room inside the boat, saw many different species of fish and coral. Would highly recommend this tour. We noticed not many people tipped, please consider a tip if you enjoyed the tour, they appreciate it.

Fun and informative little adventure that is well worth the reasonable price. Amy who narrated our tour did a great job educating and explaining what we explored! Nice for all ages.

Thank you so very much for making our trip to spread my papas ashes memorable. Thank you for videoing it so we will always have the time to look back on. I will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know.

Eden was an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable and fun. Answered all questions and engaged with my kids when they shared their knowledge. Small tour made it feel personal, and great value for money for the time and expertise.

Lots of fun to see fish with my family, some of whom were uncomfortable scuba diving. The crew was friendly and views incredible.

The boat was very clean, and prepped for our ashes-scattering. Amy was very helpful, and responded to questions I e-mailed her either the same day, or the next. She was very informative, telling us where the boat was going to go, how we could scatter the ashes, and telling us about fish we saw through the glass bottom. The captain was able to get us over reefs that were very close to shore, even with strong currents. Great boat, great weather, great crew. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic. This might not be for people who get sea sick easily, as the waves made it super choppy. But we had fun! Also got a small refund (which we didn’t ask for and were pleasantly surprised by) due to poor visibility in some spots. Highly recommend.

Recent reviews in hawaii.

We entrusted a company called Hawaii Sea burial Center, located in Tokyo, and came from Japan to Hawaii for an ocean scattering ceremony at Waikiki. With the performance of a ukulele player, it became a touching ceremony. The captain's service was excellent, and I thought that when I pass away, I would like my family to scatter my ashes from this yacht. Thank you.

I can’t recommend Captain Polu enough!!! The boat was perfect for our group of 10. We all had an amazing time. We weren’t really sure where to go out in the water but he took us out right in front of Waikiki strip and the views were great! Any time I had a question I was able to text him and he gave me an answer right away!

One of a kind, exhilarating trimaran sailing experience in Waikiki

Book this boat! We were visiting friends from Honolulu and took them with us, we were all blown away by how amazing the experience was and can’t stop talking about it. Kiah and Jenna were so knowledgeable and they made sure we had everything we needed to have a good time and stay safe. We booked for four hours and sailed out, anchored to swim and snorkel, and sailed back. We would 100% book again and book for even longer. Thanks for a great trip!

Our boat day with Captain Polu was a major highlight of our trip! We had fun setting sail and sitting at the front of the boat as well as the shaded indoor/outdoor table. He provided life jackets and gear for snorkeling where we saw lots of fish and a couple of sea turtles as well! This boat had everything we could've asked for and then some! Would 100% book with Polu again in the future!

Have fun in the sun on an extremely comfy pontoon!

Darren, Shaka bra. This boat is epic. So well looked after and perfect for families! We brought two young kids and it was perfect. Darren is a legend. Highly recommend to anyone looking to rent a boat. If you’re looking to get Shakad, this is the spot.

Custom SeaHawk 36ft Passenger Boat Charter in Kailua-Kona, Big Island of Hawaii!

Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.

About Da Whale Boat

This boat company was built on an obsession and respect for the Hawaiian Humpback Whales. Captain Kelsey, who has been doing whale watching for over a decade and has traveled the world to learn about whales, loves using oceanic resources to inspire love, passion, sustainability, education and growth in all who come on board. We are local, personalized, and small (we only take 6 passengers at a time). We believe you are Ohana (family) when you come out with us. When the whales are not around, Da Whale Boat operates private charters that can include Dolphin Viewing, sustainable snorkeling, fishing, beach hopping, sunset charters, manta rays and more. International whale experiences are also offered in the Hawaii off season. Captain Kelsey and team are actively a part of a non-profit, called For Children to Flourish that helps connect local communities to natural resources where hope can be found and healing can begin. Currently, the team is helping take out local kids and their support systems out on boats for free on Big island and Maui: working with the victims of the Lahaina fire.

The program includes a short video (with actual attack footage) and a round-trip boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial, located above the remains of the sunken ship. The ship is the final resting place for more than 1,000 men.

Since Pearl Harbor is one of Oahu’s top attractions, it’s strongly recommended that visitors make advanced reservations online at www.recreation.gov .

There aren’t many places in the world where you can walk along a trail to the edge of a 300,000-year-old crater, but Diamond Head is one of them. A hiking trail leads to the summit for panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Honolulu.

SheBuysTravel Tip : To beat the heat and crowds, you should get an early start for this popular hike.
