Kona Ocean Camp was founded in 2020 by Clare Maney. After years of pursuing her wanderlust around the remote islands of the Pacific Ocean, Clare 'settled down' in on the Big Island of Hawaii. She operates day tours and week-long camping tours with her 14 passenger van. Clare loves what she does but has been wanting to offer more to the ocean-oriented crowd. Kona Ocean Camp is a culmination of her love for the ocean, freediving, local produce, yoga, and conservation. Her tours distill this passion into a compact, action-packed package that is guaranteed to delight.
Kona is the ideal place to learn to freedive because of it's crystal clear, calm waters, and nearshore access to depth. Add in all of the amazing wildlife and you have a recipe for one of the best freediving hotspots on the planet. Kona's camping is also some of the best in the world. With easy access to facilities, the ability to camp on the beach, and the abundance of marine life near shore allow you to bask in the epicenter of ocean life.

Learning to freedive can be challenging, fun, and most of all rewarding. One of the downsides to taking a freediving course is the fact that once it's over, it's over. So we are now intruducing the opportunity to continue the adventure! Kona Ocean Camp envelopes you in a holistic ocean experience giving you so much more than a simple freediving class. Learning to freedive is only part of the experience. Once you complete your freediving course you will have the opportunity to use your newfound abilities on an ocean excursion further helping to cement your new freediving techniques.
Aside from sleeping by the ocean, learning to freedive in the ocean, and daily swims you will also visit Kona's Natural Energy lab, which was designed around power produced by the ocean! You will spend a day on the beach taking care of the land or as we say in Hawaii malama ka aina. The Natural Energy Lab is home to over 40 ocean-related businesses. you will have the opportunity to learn about the amazing technology powering the lab and about how some of the businesses benefit from the deep seawater used in the process. There are so many different fascinating projects and businesses going on there isn't time to see them all!
Part of being a freediver includes eating a healthy diet. We will provide you with all of your daily meals including food fresh from local providers. Clare Maney is passionate about supporting the small local farms around Kona. She founded lovefromhawaii.org a website dedicated to helping local farmers get their products to the public. Part of the proceeds of the gift baskets go towards feeding the elderly in this difficult time.
One of the greatest and most unexpected aspects of camping on the beach with a group of total strangers is the fact that after several days of adventures and experiences you'll find you now have a new group of travel friends. If you decided to stay a little while after the camp you now can choose to continue the adventure with your newfound group of freedving buddies. And as we teach in your freediving course you will definitely want to have a buddy. The time you spend focusing on eachother and on the experience will allow you to maximize your precious time. This means when you return home you will have nothing but stories, instagram worthy photos, and good memories of challenges and fun times.
