Things to do in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii (HI): The Best Gear Rentals

December 7, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

Coffee drinkers will recognize Kona as the source of some of the best beans in the world. Get your blood pumping with a walk along the “Royal Footsteps” waterfront stretch of Alii Drive, or take stargazing to the next level with a nighttime visit to the summit of Mauna Kea. Waterfalls, volcanoes, and soft black sands are just some of the natural features that make Kailua unique. Shimmy your hips at a hula-filled luau, or get an eyeful of native history at the Kamakahonu compound.

Highly recommend Brian and team! We rented 3 of the 50cc scooters and just had a blast. We went much further than anticipated. Best money we spent the whole vacation! None of us knew how to ride prior, but that was no issue...Brian taught us each individually how to ride.

We visited the Big Island of Hawaii as part of a tour group. We had one free day and were looking for something to fill it. The tour group was offering a helicopter tour, but that was over $500.00 per person for only a couple hours. We started by looking for a motorcycle rental. Almost booked one of those but then came upon an advertisement for Big Island Buggy. As soon as I mentioned this to my wife, she was on board and I booked one. I wrote to them and asked for touring suggestions and let them know that I was a “Big” guy. They thought that I would fit, but let me know that they would soon be getting a couple new buggies that would be bigger. The morning of our rental, Aaron dropped off the new Red buggy that I believe they call Tiki. I fit fine in the seat, however because of my large stomach, leg and feet maneuvering was a bit difficult. I wish I would have had 4 or 5 more inches. Anyone smaller than me (350#s) would have had no problem. I got through the day safely and only cursed my size 3 or 4 times. We had a great day. We took the Northern route that was suggested and saw very nice scenery. The buggy worked flawlessly. Aaron met us back at our hotel and we had a very nice conversation as we said good bye to Tiki. You won’t be disappointed if you rent from Big Island Buggy.

What a great bike shop! Friendly doorman, Tony who was so attentive to everyone arriving, it was like being welcomed by an old friend. Rented a TT bike for an afternoon, nice quality Felt bike. Staff super helpful, could not do enough to make sure it was adjusted right for me. Attached my pedals etc. Only thing they could improve on is to add a second bottle cage. Fast, efficient and friendly is a good way to sum them up. Plenty parking outside and really easy access to the Queen K highway. Lots of lovely gear in hear to purchase too.
