At Godspeed Adventures, the health and safety of our customers and ourselves has always been our number one priority. As we reopen our Adventure tours during the current COVID-19 pandemic, we are implementing new protocols. Godspeed Adventures only provides PRIVATE ADVENTURE TOURS, we do not mix people/groups outside your party. Since our adventure tours together are usually around 12-hours, you can feel confident you will be safe and only with your party along with just one adventure tour guide in order to minimize risk and exposure. We believe the steps we will take to insure your parties safety as well as ours is unprecedented as you will see here below.
For your safety and ours, WE ARE ALL FULLY VACCINATED AND WE TAKE A CERTIFIED HAWAII COVID-19 TEST ON A REGULAR BASIS (at our cost, from the trusted State of Hawaii Partner, Vault Health www.vaulthealth.com/covid We have used them many times before and highly recommend this company). Currently, the State of Hawaii will require you to take the same or similar test prior to your arrival here in the Hawaiian Islands OR be fully vaccinated in order to avoid quarantine.
We will follow all Covid-19 CDC Guidelines. According to CDC, symptoms of COVID-19 include: Cough shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or at least two of the following symptoms: chills, shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and loss of taste or smell. If we witness COVID-19 symptoms we will want to reschedule your adventure tour. All visitors are required to wear face coverings when we are in public indoor places per the Governor of Hawaiis' mandates. See our policy on face coverings further below.
Please stay home if you are sick! We understand nobody wants to miss out on their experience, but it is so important to the safety of everyone that if you feel any symptoms that could be COVID-19, you let us know so we can reschedule your adventure tour. If anyone in your household has tested positive for COVID-19 or have experienced symptoms in the last 14 days, please let us know and we will reschedule your tour. There is no charge for rescheduling or cancelling your adventure tour and a full refund for your deposit will be given or applied to your rescheduled date.
To comply with Hawaii's mandates, we are currently limited to no more than 10-people together indoors and in our adventure vehicles and 25-people outdoors. If your group is more than 10-people, we can also use a second vehicle and another adventure tour guide and spread the group out to no more than 10-people per vehicle. On certain adventures where we partner with other companies like the Shark-Cage Adventure, Dolphin Adventure, Catamaran Sailing, etc. they may have their own social distancing requirements and we will advise you accordingly. There is plenty of seating in the rear, center and forward portions of each vessel which allow us to accomplish any group limit and spacing. If you are considering doing one of those adventures with my partners, please let us know so we can reserve our spots as soon as possible since they will fill fast due to the limited space.
Our Adventure vehicle and adventure gear/equipment will be thoroughly sanitized prior to our day together and all PPE will be provided. We will provide hand sanitizing station in our adventure vehicle along with an on-board shower and hand-washing station. If you wish to do some snorkeling, we suggest that you bring your own underwater mask and snorkel. New underwater masks tend to fog easily. To remedy this, we recommend scrubbing the inside glass and silicone surfaces with toothpaste a couple of times before your tour. We will provide you anti-fog solution. If you cannot bring your own, we will provide them free of charge, thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
Lastly, since you are either fully vaccinated or took a Covid-19 test with a negative result in order to get here we will not require you to wear face coverings while we are together all day (usually 12-hours) in our van. If you prefer to wear yours and/or prefer that we wear our face coverings in the van, please let us know and we will be happy to comply with your request.

As you know, we have been in a period of unprecedented change for our world, our country, our industry and our islands. We have been committed to managing this situation with mÄlama (care) for the well-being of our guests and our community. Godspeed Adventures, like everyone else in the tourism industry here in Hawaii was unfortunately unable to share the islands and adventures with our guests for almost a year. The reality is our economy is based on visitors coming here and us being hosts, it's who we are and it connects us to the rest of the world. Tourism provides a way of life to the people of Hawaii and a way for us to support our families, ourselves and to be able to stay in this magical place filled with the amazing Aloha Spirit. We are beyond excited now that we have reopened and it is that open Spirit of Aloha we look forward to sharing with visitors like you once again.
Mahala nui for your support, sending everyone our warmest Aloha and Godspeed!
