Hawaii Island Private Charters Kawaihae, HI 96743

"We were very lucky to be some of the first guests on Captain Dane’s boat - Hawaii Island Private Charters. The boat is SO nice- comfortable, smooth riding, easy to get in and out of, and solid feeling. Dane’s long experience on Big Island waters gives guests an experience that won’t be found on other boats. He knows all the good spots for fishing, snorkeling, diving and the best views of the beautiful Big Island. You decide on the type of charter you want and Dane makes it happen! It will be the highlight of your visit to the beautiful Big Island!"

"I highly recommend Hawaii Island Private Charters! The best choice you’ll make, as it’s basically a choose your own adventure charter! Whether you want to scuba dive, fish, snorkel, whale watch, or just enjoy a day on the water…HIPC is there for it. The boat is an extremely comfortable, enjoyable ride, & captain Dane is both knowledgeable & a blast to be on the water with!"

"No need to look any further, Hawaii Island Private Charters is by far the best tour I’ve been on. The boat is so beautiful, with very comfortable seating. Captain Dane was so knowledgeable about the island, it was wonderful hearing all the stories. My family and I had the best time, we saw whales and then stopped to go snorkeling, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. We definitely will be using them again.. and again."

"Hawaii island private charters is one of a kind. Rarely will you find as upscale an experience paired with such down to earth team members. We were blown away by their in depth knowledge about not only Hawaii and its waters but also their overall dedication to our environment."

"Dane runs an amazing operation with the boat to match. Knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and professional sum this operation up perfectly. His boat Maluhia is first class and truly a pleasure to be on. Smooth, fast, comfortable, what more could you want? While nature is uncontrollable and you can't be guaranteed everything under the sun when out on the water and you're at her mercy, Dane has the knowledge and experience to guide the day and provide the best experiences with the conditions that are provided. You can't downplay a captain and operators knowledge and expereice in influencing the outcome of your charter and making the best decisions to maximize your time on the boat. Highly recommend a day out on the water on Maluhia for snorkeling, cruising, whale watching, and diving"
