Private Charter Honu Lele

Kailua-Kona, perched on Hawaii’s Big Island west coast, is famous for its near-constant trade winds and pristine coastline, making it a prime launch point for ocean adventures. At 74-425 Kealakehe Parkway, Kona Honu Divers offers an exclusive way to experience these waters aboard the Honu Lele, a swift 33-foot World Cat catamaran designed to carry up to six guests. This is not your average group tour; it’s a private charter tailored to your group’s desires—whether that means snorkeling through vibrant coral reefs or scuba diving alongside schools of tropical fish and graceful honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles).

The Honu Lele’s sleek hull cuts through the waves quickly, providing access to some of the area’s best dive and snorkel spots before crowds arrive. Shade and comfort come standard with ample covered seating and a fresh water shower onboard. After your underwater excursions, enjoy a boxed lunch and refreshing drinks included in the trip, perfect for relaxing as you absorb the expansive ocean views.

This intimate charter stands out in Kona’s outdoor activity scene by offering a customizable itinerary—choose the pace, dive spots, and activity type that suit your group best, ideal for families or close friends seeking a personalized ocean day. The Big Island’s unique underwater landscape features volcanic formations, clear blue waters, and vibrant coral ecosystems. Kailua-Kona itself has rich cultural roots tied to ancient Hawaiian seafaring traditions, adding depth to your marine experience.

Sustainability matters here, with reef-safe sunscreen required to protect the delicate marine environment. For travelers wanting an active and immersive ocean day that balances comfort, speed, and privacy, Kona Honu Divers delivers a standout option. This charter encapsulates the best of Hawaii’s marine playground—all from a vessel designed for thrill and ease in equal measure.
