Kona Queen Hawaii, Incorporated was founded in 1975 on the leeward coast of the big island of Hawaii, USA. This is the largest island of the Hawaiian chain and the Kona Coast is protected by three large mountains, ranging from 8,300 feet, to nearly 14,000 feet. These mountains quiet the trade winds and provide a protective shield against larger storms. Kona Queen Hawaii is owned by Gus Rouse who came to the company in 1979.
