Eco-friendly Gift Shop
With the desire to offer Clear Bottom Kayak Rentals to our Big Island visitors, came a bigger responsibility to keep our ocean healthy. Thus, the idea of our gift shop was born. All products carried in the shop are either made from recycled material, a re-usable replacement for common disposable plastic items, or purchased from a company who gives back to marine conservation. A portion of all our profits are given to the Kahalu’u Bay Education Center.
EXCELLENTBased on 9 reviewsVerifiedMelina PJuly 2, 2023.Awesome and fun! This was so much fun to do, we seen s pod of dolphins, eagle ray, and colorful fish! The ocean is so blue and just beautiful! Great island adventure. And the best part was the service! Chris was extra friendly, serviced us well, gave us great directions and what to look for. He had life vests for all 6 of us, his equipment was fully equipped with extra accessories. He also held our belongings in a container at the shop, so we didn't have to leave valuables in the car. He also gave us couple minutes more for us walking to kayak location. Mahalo, Chris!VerifiedSofiaATLJune 22, 2023.Hawai'i was a dream A landscape like no other in the world. The darkest-brightest most magical place on earth. We saw actively erupting volcanoes and beautiful waterfalls. Banyan trees are the most fascinating trees I have ever seen in my life. Night swimming with the Manta Rays is a must! Can't wait to go back and travel the other islands.VerifiedrainymomoNovember 20, 2022.Would absolutely rent clear bottom kayaks here again! Great experience with this business. Quaint little shop in downtown. When we arrived, our kayaks were ready to go with paddles, microfibers, bilge pumps and fish ID cards. They were strapped to a set of wheels that made it super easy to walk them across the street for entry. We had enough people in our party to have folks stay with the kayaks while two people carried back the wheels. We were given a bike lock to secure the wheels if we wanted to. Entry was easy at the bay right across the road. Had a great time out on the water. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting. Lots of stuff to see and a great way to spend a morning.VerifiedMattie KMay 15, 2022.Clear bottom kayaking This is a great place to rent a clear bottom kayak! Very Sweet service and all! I would highly recommend trying it out! Great prices!VerifiedSandra WApril 30, 2022.Amazing memorable experience with awesome small business We absolutely loved Saltwater Soul’s glass bottom kayaks! We love the water and we’re excited to see it from this view. We have a 1 year old who’s very comfortable on the water so we were happy to take her out with us (we brought her life jacket for the experience to make sure it fit). Lori, one of the owners, was beyond accommodating. The boat was in pristine shape. They provide you with everything you need, even a “fish identification card” to ID what you’re looking seeing. The experience was fantastic. We rented all day (9 am - 4 pm). Took it in and dropped the boat off to go get lunch. Then went out again in the afternoon. The water was perfect, clear, safe for a kid. We absolutely loved it!! Will do it again when we return to Kona!Verifiedjmetz2022March 21, 2022.The view above and below was amazing! These clear bottom kayaks are so cool! You can see more below through the bottom of the kayak than from above the water! We saw dolphins, barracuda, a shark and breaching whales! So exciting! The owners are really nice family people too! They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Lori!VerifiedAngela TFebruary 14, 2022.Clear kayaking experience We had an awesome time, the kayaks were very new and Viator/Groupon offered a great deal for the experience. $23 per person for a tandem clear kayak for an hour which was enough for us newbies. If you get the two hour deal you get to use the kayak all day long. We saw fish and corals. Check in did take about 30 mins so plan accordingly. Also note that you should be able to lift and push a little bit as the shop is across the street from the water, about 5-7 mins walk pulling the kayak and you will need to load and unload the kayak. Which wasn’t hard if you’re pretty able bodied or have help (I couldn’t have done it alone). My parents were able to manage they’re in their 50s-60s. The operator was super nice and they sell sand cloud towels too! Would totally book again and recommend to friendsVerifiedJohn CJanuary 29, 2022.Glass bottom kayak Seeing the dolphins under water, literally under my feet was amazing, lucky for me whales are in season and saw them up close for the first time! The store is right across the street from the beach made it easy to load the kayak into the water, the kids loved it as much as I did and will be back next time as we come to Kona often! 5 stars
