Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Port Reviews

Went snorkeling and it was one of the best snorkeling excursions I have ever done.

Not a lot to do there. Not a lot of excursions offered. Tendering is always a pain too - it's a commitment to get on and off the ship.

Expensive

least favorite

This tender port is the only one where you get dropped off not miles away from a city

Did a Boat tour and lunch, seen dolphins and flying fish

Love this pory, access by tender and you are right in town. Fish Hopper is a great location for people watching and the best poke on the island.

Go on your own

Absolutely beautiful loved it we did do snorkel, and night snorkel with manta rays, wow, incredible

We’ve been to Kona several times before and love it there. We explored in our own the first day and swam in the swimming area that was conveniently located next to the pier the second day. Highly recommend it. The only negative was the tender rides were very hot and they ensured that the boats were full to capacity before they left so we were on them for a lot longer than the 15 minute estimated duration that was provided by the ship. Some folks went up top to escape the heat inside the boat but those spots filled up quickly.
