Paddle boarding originated in Hawaii, so leave the shore behind and join Kona Boys for a paddle. We offer lessons for those just getting their sea legs and paddle board tours for the more experienced.

Our paddle board lessons and tours start from our beach shack location where we outfit with gear and do a nice beach front orientation.  For lessons we review the equipment, safety tips, and basic fundamentals, before taking to the water in protected cove of Kamakahonu.  Once we’ve found our balance and gained control of the boards, we venture out into Kailua Bay where we work on techniques, share interesting history, and with any luck, spot spinner dolphins or other marine mammals.

If you are joining us for a tour then we focus more on our paddle plan and what to expect out of the tour.  We take our time cruising the coastline of Kailua Kona exploring landmarks, sharing historical information,  and enjoying the amazing waters.

Our original multisport ocean adventure. Be a beach boy for a day and join us for ocean fun while we kayak, snorkel, and paddle board from our beach shack location on the shores of Kamakahonu Cove.

Our beach boys or girls will be there to greet you and we’ll take a few minutes to get you signed in and sized for your gear.  Once outfitted, we’ll do  a short orientation on the beach to prepare you for your day of ocean play.

First off we take the kayaks out from Kamakahonu Cove into Kailua Bay, morning conditions are generally very calm and often spinner dolphins are playing in the bay.  The area is rich with history and we’ll share some stories and point out significant landmarks as we explore the Bay.

There are opportunities to snorkel from the kayaks, and then our leisurely paddle will circle back around to Kamakahonu where our beach chairs and umbrellas are awaiting us. After a short break to rehydrate, we’re back in the water to snorkel the pristine reef which lies just behind the Ahuena Heiau.

After a nice time exploring the reef we head back to shore to enjoy lunch and discuss the different species fish we encountered.  Re-energized we take to the Stand up Paddle Boards for a mini lesson and paddle.  It’s a great way to pass a day in Kona town, learn a little Hawaiian history, and enjoy the magic waters of the Kona Coast.
