About this tour
Trade the uncertainty of rideshares for a direct shuttle from Kailua Pier to Kua Bay, where soft white sand meets the turquoise waters of Hawaiʻi Island. This Kona beach shuttle makes it easy to spend your port day swimming, relaxing in the sun, and enjoying the coast without arranging your own ride.
Meet at Kailua Pier, the cruise ship tender landing, and settle into an air-conditioned vehicle with bottled water and a local driver. At Kua Bay, take time to enjoy the beach at your own pace. Bring lunch before boarding, and arrange beach chair or umbrella rentals if you want extra comfort. The shuttle is a simple way to reach the shoreline and still leave time to explore Kona before your cruise. Public service operates on Wednesdays only.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
