It’s a hunt for the program director
The lady in charge of the scavenger hunt started off strong with contacting us the day before; asking to use WhatsApp. Through app texted us prior to game asking if we were ready. Then when the time came she did not show up at the meeting point with no communication from her until hours after, and not responding to our texts. She never led us to believe that it was not canceled before hand. We never saw other players at the meeting point as well. As a scavenger hunt it says players; that if there were not enough participants then it would be rescheduled or suggested to move the game time. Never were we straight up asked to change game time. Hours later when she did respond she was apologetic, explained her phone was misplaced. Gave no issues when requesting a refund. Over all just disappointed.
Response from the operator: I do sincerely apologize( and did so directly to this guest). This is not the experience i want those to have who have trusted me with their vacation time. I have been a tour guide for over 25 years and I am well aware how crucial it is to always be on time. Yet, life happens and my phone was temporarily misplaced. I would say something like this happens less than 1% of the time. I fully understand this guest being upset and disappointed. I did offer an immediate refund, which i sent and also the opportunity to do the hunt free the next day, which the guest declined.

Enjoy talking to strangers
Not what we were expecting for a “scavenger hunt” that we were hoping would get us acquainted with downtown Kona’s scenery. Instead of finding statues, buildings or landmarks with fun clues, it felt more like homework. I am an introverted person and was not thrilled when 85% of the tasks were to go talk to strangers. It would have been fun to have a real clue about places to go rather than “do a random act of kindness”. Not the activity for us.
Response from the operator: It is true that this scavenger hunt is very non traditional with no math, geocaching or gps points. Instead it has creative challenges, social experimentation and being detectives on the hunt for local stories. My games are designed to allow real opportunities to connect with friendly locals( I recommend what i call the vibe test first) and have meaningful interactions. This can be the most valuable part of the experience for many or even most of my hunters. It is true that coming to a place as a tourist and thinking of how you can do a random act of kindness is a powerful way to get to know a place. I understand it can be challenging in a new way and every hunter is told its ok if they want to skip something. People also choose which order to do the clues so you can definately start with the creative non social ones.I am sorry this guest didnt enjoy the adventure as much as I hope all my guests do but I will admit its not for everyone. If you want to book I would love to host you but come with an open mind for something new.

A fun way to visit Kona
Tara’s Creative Soul scavenger hunt in Kona was a highlight of our vacation. It made visiting Kona a fun experience when we first read about the “hunt” we were a bit apprehensive about reaching out to a stranger to guide us on an unknown adventure. Tara’s friendly, playful, and supportive demeanor quickly put us at ease. The scavenger hunt questions were thoughtful and creative. We would recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to spend a playful day in Kona.
Response from the operator: So fun to host you ladies on my hunt.. its great for any age hunter up for something new!

Super fun morning in Kona!
This was so fun! We raced parents vs teens with a pretty motivating bet. Both teams worked hard and had a blast. The race was thoughtful and we all came out of it feeling really great about the whole experience! Highly recommend for a fun way to spend the morning in kona with teens!!
Response from the operator: Mahalo nui loa! In a surprise upset The Slackers won! Cant wait for an epic rematch at the Volcano Park!

Excellent way to learn interesting history
Loved learning about the history of Kona, HI via locals. I heard bits and pieces during our stay, and this experience brought it all together.
Response from the operator: You are a very photogenic family! It was fun to see your photo progression of clues!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Creative Soul Scavenger Hunt( Kona Big island Hawaii): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Big Island of Hawaii.
How much does Creative Soul Scavenger Hunt( Kona Big island Hawaii) cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Big Island of Hawaii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Creative Soul Scavenger Hunt( Kona Big island Hawaii) take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Big Island of Hawaii is not rushed.
Is Creative Soul Scavenger Hunt( Kona Big island Hawaii) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Big Island of Hawaii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Creative Soul Scavenger Hunt( Kona Big island Hawaii)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Creative Soul Scavenger Hunt( Kona Big island Hawaii) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Creative Soul Scavenger Hunt( Kona Big island Hawaii)?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Big Island of Hawaii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Big Island of Hawaii and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Creative Soul Scavenger Hunt( Kona Big island Hawaii) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Big Island of Hawaii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
The Big Island is volcano country: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tours, Mauna Kea summit stargazing, night manta ray snorkels off Kona, Waipio Valley lookouts and coffee farm visits. Summit tours have real altitude rules, so we weight safety detail. On Outty we rank every Big Island of Hawaii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings, Big Island in a Day: Volcanoes Waterfalls Sightseeing and History, Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Big Island of Hawaii?
+
April to October, though the island runs year round. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
