My wife and I spent the day in Kona during one of our stops on our 18 day Hawaii cruise. Rather than taking another ship sponsored shore excursion, we opted instead to rent a buggy from Big Island Buggy. It was BY FAR our most enjoyable day in Hawaii. The online rental process was super easy and pickup on the day of our rental was a breeze. The pickup location was only a short 10 minute walk from the pier where we were met by Aaron, who provided us with a map, LOTs of suggestions on where to go and what to see and even offered to supply beach towels, chairs and an umbrella (no extra charge). After a quick 5 minute instruction on how to operate the vehicle, we were on our way. The routes he suggested were fabulous with awesome views of the ocean and mountains, historic sites etc. Stops included a farmers market at the Outrigger as well as a Kona coffee tour and salt farm factory. All in all…. It was a wonderful experience and worth every penny.
