    Hurricane season comes around... "Wat? Hurricane season? Nahhhh, I not worried. We go Grandma's house, she get plenty food." ... "Don't you worry honey, I'm always ready for hurricane season. I've got ten cases of MRE's that my buddy in the army hooked me up with. We're all set." ... "Shoots! We go stock up at Costco dis weekend!!! Kay kay, les make one list. One 20 pound bag rice.. one case spam.. 24 pack top ramen.. dat one huge bag potato chips.. one--no no, two case green bottles chee! Yup, das good. Oh, almost forget da watah. Awwwriiiight!" ... "WTF I don't care. FEMA got my back." What do I like about Be Ready Hawaii? They seem to focus on quality products that are actually useful for us in the islands. They don't have it all but they've got a lot of the essentials covered. And unless you're a candidate to be on NatGeo's "Doomsday Preppers" you're sure to find something to add to your emergency supplies. Food, water (purification and storage options), cooking options, lights, radios, energy, to name a few. It's family run, originally from Hawaii (it's obvious when you talk to the folks there). They're all very knowledgeable about the products they carry and they believe in them. Not only that, but it looks like they're working to educate the community on the various areas of getting prepared. The more of us that are ready when the SHTF, the better off we'll all be. Some of the prices do seem a little steep to me, but what can you do? The "price of paradise" right? They carry some things that are a little harder to come by in the islands, such as freeze dried foods for long-term storage, high quality water containers, and (water tight) food storage containers, also some useful solar gadgets. Emergencies come in all shapes and sizes. Whether it's for natural disasters, economic worries, or for when the zombies come, Be Ready is definitely a place to check out.

    Hands down would use them again. Especially if you can take advantage of the weekly rate. We only…read moreneeded them for 4 days but it was much cheaper to get the weekly rate versus renting on and off for single days. All of the equipment was good to great quality. We had 5 chairs and they were true Tommy Bahama chairs. Great quality. Cooler was good, not their fault but note you'll definitely need more than 1 bag of ice. Boogie board was solid and the umbrellas were good. Umbrellas came with a spike and screw mechanism to really get them deep in the sand. A most for any beach activity.

    HORRIBLE communication. I've rented from them 2-3 times before and had a great experience so I…read moreunderstand the good reviews here but I'm incredibly offended by their lack of communication this time. I wanted so badly to support a small business during COVID but wow this was a level of unprofessionalism I have never experienced. My boyfriend and I have been trying to rent one board since Sunday and today it is Friday and we have STILL been unable to confirm our rental. I called Sunday and received a text in response to my call. They told me to text at this number for questions and reservations. I have been trying to set up my reservation ever since via text but the responses have been little to none. On Wednesday my boyfriend even e-mailed them, but it's been two days and still no response. Their main phone number just goes to voicemail, so then we tried to call the phone number we had been texting but someone answered saying "you have the wrong person", even though hours later they would respond to my text with the same number. We were really excited to stand up paddle board this week but now we won't be doing it anymore. I'm very disappointed. The communication was seriously the most unprofessional I've ever experienced. All I wanted was to rent one board. I don't know why they're not interested in doing so, or it's fine if they are not able to but they should have communicated that to me instead of leaving me on read on and off for the last 5 days.

The entire experience was so much fun from start to finish--beautiful scenery, great pacing, and just the right mix of adventure and relaxation. Morgan was incredibly informative throughout the tour, sharing interesting facts about the area, local wildlife, and history in a way that kept everyone engaged. One of the highlights was kayaking out to Popoiʻa Island (Flat Island), which was absolutely beautiful. Morgan did an excellent job helping us navigate the waters both going out and coming back, making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident the entire time. Honestly, Morgan was the best guide we could have asked for--friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and just all-around awesome. We felt safe, well taken care of, and had such a great time. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Morgan as your guide!
