This video segment is about private charters and custom events on The Big Island of Hawaii. You may have noticed that if you cruise through all of the pages of categories of activities that we have on The Big Island, that we have hundreds of different things that you can do. Everything is kind of formalized, they're specific, they have a beginning time and an ending time, they have a special price, they're available to so many people. They're all very defined, and so it makes it really easy to go in and choose an activity you want. You can just order it directly on our website, and so on.

But, there may be times when you have a special event, or a private charter that you want to organize, that doesn't fit into the guidelines of what we actually have available specifically on our website. In those cases, you may want to call us and say "Can you help us with this? Can you organize something for our specific needs here, for what we're doing?" And yes, we can do that.

Over the years we've had many of these that have happened, we've organized special dinner cruises, wedding groups that have wanted to do one thing or another at a certain time. We've had corporate groups that have come in, they want to have a big event for their company, they want to do it at a special time, they want it to be extended out longer than normal. They want to have special menu, and special kind of drinks, whatever it could be, and they're looking to have someone organize that. There may be big family get togethers that you have, you want to do something special for a special event for your family. Who knows what it could be? It may be a simple, and we have a lot of these, where we have ash scatterings, where people want to have a particular boat at a particular time to go out and spread ashes of a loved one, or even from a helicopter. There are so many things that can be done, in terms of these special, private charters, and we can help with many, many of them.

So what you need to do, is you need to figure out what it is that you want, and the biggest part of this is on the page for the private charters that we have. You need to detail what it is that you're looking for, and you really have to be specific about what you're wanting, and you need to write it all down. The most important thing you need to have on that is a phone number for us to call. Because in all likelihood, your request is going to end up to be somewhat detailed in a way that we are going to really want to ask you more about what you've got going on, so that we can totally understand it, so that we can get the right thing for you. That's going to be very important.
But the other thing that is really important, and you need to think about this beforehand, before you even start getting a hold of this, is on that piece of paper, you need to put what your budget is, that you think that you're going to be able to ... What you want it to be. This is not something that is ... Everybody wants your price to be low, that's a guarantee, and we're going to try to get you the lowest price. But if we actually see a price on there that is just in no way going to work for what you're asking for, we'll just let you know right there. We'll just stop, because it just can't be done.

These require a lot of effort and time, to put together, and a lot of people just really from the get go, assume the price is going to be way way lower than it actually turns out to be. You need to err on the side above, because you don't want to be like many people that are just like "Oh really? You're kidding." So we put a lot of work in to get that answer. We don't want that answer. We just want to all start off in the same place, where we're talking about realistic prices for these things, and we will do our best to organize whatever it is that you need. It just has to be that we're all in the same ball park, we're all on the same page about pricing.

But anyway, fill out those forms, submit them to us, and we'll do the best we can to organize whatever you want here on The Big Island, we can do it on any of the islands that are happening on Hawaii.

So if you have any questions about tours or activities in Hawaii, just give us a call, or check out TomBarefoot.com. We're here to help.
