船の上で、フィンのサイズを聞いて、サイズにあったものを貸してくれます。シュノーケリング道具も。
浮き輪も腰に巻くタイプの(子供から大人まで)ライフジャケット(?)浮きを貸してくれるので、ゴーグルなどの持参も必要ないです。
クックの塔まで1時間くらい船に揺られるので、私たち家族は(酔い止め薬を飲んでいても)少し酔いました。
BBQのチーズバーガーは他の書き込み通り、とっても美味しかったです!朝食のマフィンはコストコのかな?って感じで美味しかったです。
6度目のハワイ島で、初参加でしたがどの観光よりも満足で、海の綺麗さが素晴らしかったです。

2013/3/27に家族3人(10歳/男)で行ってきました。
水の透明度も高く、熱帯魚を沢山見ることができました。
ただし、水温があまり高くないため、寒くて長時間のシュノーケンリングは無理でしたが、滑り台や、フェアウィンド号からのジャンプなど、子供にとっては楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
また、朝食、昼食付きだったので、ツアー前後の時間を有効に使えて、とても良かったです。

We've done this trip a few time, and it's always great. The food is good. Staff is Great. Boat is still tip top. Had some high surf that limited where we could go, and we had to deal with some of the new regulations by Capt Cook Monument, but the staff was on top of it, and we didn't miss a beat. Well worth it.

2012年2月に体験感激し、2013年2月14日、また来てしまいました。
89歳のお婆ちゃん、67歳の私、65歳の妻、そして今年2月定年の
義弟60歳の4人ですが楽しい、楽しい。
今年も昨年と同じ日程で、ヒロに2泊、ワイコロアのコンドミニアムに3泊、ワイキキで3泊です。今回私が珍しく体調を崩してしまい、昨日(2月13日)やっと回復したばかり。
今回も【鯨】も見えたし、特に【イルカ】の歓迎振りには感動ずくめです。
シュノーケルスポット近くに船が来ると、大勢で出迎えに寄って来て舟が止まるまでサポートしてくれます。
帰りも途中まで、お見送りです。(信じられない程)
美味しい、朝食と昼食を食べ、綺麗なサンゴと魚を見てフレンドリーな外国人?と楽しんで最高!!
今回、日本人は我々ファミリーだけでしたが、外国人?観光客は皆、思い切り楽しみに来ている様子で一緒にいてとても気が楽です。
水は冷たかったので妻は『今度は、春か夏に来たい』と言っています。
前回お約束の、写真何枚か入れますが、全部ビデオ(SONY)から写真にしたものです。
ビデオと言えばここのスタッフのビデオ技術はプロだ。
機材はSONYの素晴らしいのを使っていた。
海中でも撮影してくれるので記念になります。
前回もビデオ(DVD)を買って楽しんだので今回も、義弟のために1本送ってもらった。
このツアーは赤ちゃん~年配者まで充分に楽しめてお勧めです。

2012年2月2日のモーニングプランに参加し、3人とも大満足!!
ハワイ旅は10回位ですが、ハワイ島に来てからここが大好きになって4年連続で来ています。いつもワイコロアのコンドミニアムがメインですが、今回はヒロにも2泊して夜のキラウエアの赤い炎も見て満足してからワイコロアの「我が家?」に。
何時もは近くの海でシュノーケルしたりして遊んでいました。私はこのツアーに興味を持って『行きたい』と思っていましたが妻とお婆ちゃんを残して一人で行ってもナー。とあきらめていましたが、
1.この船は大きくて、揺れない。
2.きれいなトイレが付いている。
3.朝食、昼食、飲み物、果物付き。
この条件ならお婆ちゃんは、船の上で見ていればイツカー。
と、初めて参加してみて感激、感動。
私の英語は、中学の義務教育のみで心配、たまたま若い姉妹の日本の方がいらしたので「わからない時は、助けてネ」とアプローチお願いしましたが何とか自力でクリアー出来ました。
途中、鯨も見えて、現場に付く直前にイルカの群れの歓迎です。
スタッフ、クルーのテンションの高さとカッコよさ、そして安全配慮と、お客様を一人一人どうやって楽しましてやろうという気持ちがガンガン伝わって来ます。
海は透明、珊瑚礁と、熱帯魚の群れ。
ほとんどのお客様はアメリカ人~ だと思いますが皆さん老いも若きも元気、元気。とってもフレドリーで楽しい。
言葉、いらない・・・・
本音は「もっと英語がわかればナー」
綺麗な船で清潔なので,・・・・当初、心配していたお婆ちゃん「今度、いつ行くノー」だって。
海に入らなくても、船上から綺麗に澄んだ珊瑚礁で遊んでいる皆を見ていて楽しんでいます。
スタッフがビデオを撮ってくれていたので早速購入して時々見ています。
これを一緒に見ていた弟も、今年定年退職なので記念に皆で行きたいということで、
2013年2月14日また、予約してしまいました。楽しみでーす。
冬でも夏でも、・・・海の中は良いのですが船に上がった時寒いときがあるようなので大きいタオルや、ヨットパーカーなど忘れないように気をつけよう。
一番大切なことは、「皆で思い切り楽しむ」ことかな。
このツアーにも、持って行くものの中にサングラス等と一緒に
【冒険心】と書いてあります。
この気持ち、だーい好きです。

My husband and I tried snorkeling first time and we are not even good swimmer. I know only basics of swimming and I can not even survive in a 6 ft swimming pool and still I had fun snorkeling with Fair wind. Crew helped us a lot and snorkeling area was also good. They have different kind of accessories like view box and board for childrens. we would defenately go for second time.

Although my favorite island is Kauai, my husband and I always take a side trip over to the big island, just because I have to snorkel at Kealakekua Bay! The first time we did it we took the Zodiac boat which was lots of fun, fast, wet, and bouncy. With that said the last three times we have chosen the Fair Wind! This large catamaran provides a wonderful relaxing ride over to the bay and they cook you a wonderful barbecue lunch in addition to a continental breakfast. There is lots of time to snorkel which is totally amazing! The coral and fish are beautiful. My favorite area is around the coral on the monument side. You will see lots of different fish and be sure and go back and snorkel some more after lunch! The catamaran does have slides and high platforms to jump off of, but the best part is snorkeling. They do offer snuba too, if you enjoy that. I highly recommend this tour. It is the best! Don't forget your underwater camera. Enjoy the attached pics.

My family had a wonderful time on this snorkel adventure! Even though only 3 of us were signed up for the afternoon activity, the staff was extremely friendly, courteous, and flexible.
We had a wonderful ride out to Captain Cook's monument, with stops along the way to explain some of the history for that part of the island. The snorkeling equipment was in very nice shape and fit well. The reef was very nice, with a wide variety of fish, and plenty of time to see everything. There were plenty of refreshments and snacks, including fresh pineapple and guava waiting for us when we finished snorkeling. On the ride back, out guide took us further out into the ocean to see if we might see any whales or dolphins.
All in all, this was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon of our last day on the island.

We booked this cruise in particular because it was wheelchair accessible. We were traveling with a friend who is in a wheelchair and we wanted to be able to get her out on the ocean. The crew was fantastic! The ramp was easy and we sat in the front of the boat.
On this cruise to Ke'alakekua, not only was there a wonderful bartender, but also a fabulous array of appetizers and a yummy dinner. AND there was a historian, named Boyd, who was able to tell us the history of the areas we were cruising by. Kudos to Boyd! IN ADDITION to all of this, we were suprised to find out the crew had fishing lines out and caught three large fish! Very exciting for us and also the crew.
This is just a great company with a great crew wo do hospitality right. Loved it all!

Drew and Capt. Bill were professional, funny, and informative. Drew was excellent with the kids. Very safe conditions for all - definitely recommend for a snorkel excursion - more personalized than the big boat excursions.

This was great activity! The historian who was on board with us did an excellent job of explaining everything that we were seeing along the coast. The food was really good and there was plenty of it. As an added bonus to our wonderful evening, we were first entertained by several schools of dolphins and then we sighted several whales. What a wonderful sight! The crew were very curtious and helpful and the live entertainment and the drinks were great. Definitely a highlight of my stay and something that I would do again!!

We had a great time as a family on this cruise. My kids (ages 10 and 13) swim, but I was still nervous about them with snorkeling gear in open water for 1.5 hours. Turns out I had no need to worry. They have these great flotation devices you can buckle around their torsos that gives them about 50% flotation, and my kids enjoyed having these on so they didn't have to expend much energy swimming and could enjoy the fish. I'm a marginal swimmer--ok in pools but little experience in open water, and I had a great time also--put on a flotation device around me and didn't worry a bit. I probably could have continued snorkeling another hour. The kids enjoyed sliding off the boat slides into the bay also. Highly recommend.

Liked how this was in a bay...not in come choppy ocean with tons of waves and where I feel like I am having to fight just to stay upright...no way, this was nothing like that. It felt almost like I was back home at the lake and really peacefully just gliding through the waters.
And the bay itself is really pretty. Then the snorkel section of the trip was really fun too. To get in and see fish and wildlife I had never seen before was exciting.
Overall it was a really wonderful time in Hawaii and made a highlight of my vacation. Mahalo.

The Fairwind crew is the best there is - I highly recommend them to any and all. We had so much fun with our Friday snorkel that we booked another on the following Tuesday. The food was outstanding and the instructions were great. The fish class was lots of fun. Case is a great guy and an excellent speaker to people of all ages.

This was BY FAR the best tour we took - even better than the helicopter tour of the volcano!
We enjoyed the smaller boat - only 12 people on our tour (from teens to seniors) plus Captain Steve and the Drew crew. Other boats seemed to have hundreds on board, although they may have had better facilities. Kayaks can damage the coral, and they aren't as mobile as the boat - no whale searching or cave exploring.
First, Hawaii Activities actually called us to check that we were going to be there on time and asked if we had any questions. Then, we checked in, signed waivers, and were assigned to our boat. It was all very organized and ran very smoothly.
Steve and Drew were very knowledgeable and patient with first timers. They served a wonderful snack (fresh pineapple and other fruits, chips, cookies, etc), and the snorkeling (two spots) was wonderful. They even had a book to help us identify what we had seen.
The icing on the cake was that two whales decided to grace us w
