Bamm
Kona Lead Guide · 8 years on this coastline
Bamm grew up in Washington and spent ten years in finance before deciding the desk life wasn’t it — he walked away to live more sustainably and more connected. His first guiding chapter was leading blacktail deer hunts on Kodiak Island, Alaska, where he came to an important realization: there were no women and no aloha in the bush. So he moved to the Big Island to grow a garden and connect with the ocean. He’s been guiding the Kona coastline for eight years since.
Big personality, bigger aloha. If Bamm is your guide, you’ll hear the stories yourself.
