Sea Quest Kealakekua Bay Snorkel Tour & Rafting Sea Cave Expedition

Totally Awesome!!

Reviewed by: Debbie

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this rafting trip. It was absolutely amazing! The staff were excellent. They even had an RX mask for me to use. Soon after departure we came across some pygmy killer whales and dolphins. The guide said it was rare that they hung around so long because if you see them they usually take a breath and leave but this pod stuck with us for over 10 minutes. Even saw some spinner dolphins swimming about 50 feet below the raft. They were moving fast but we could still see them. The guides took there time and allowed us to wait and watch. We all just soaked up the time. The snorkeling, at two different places, was fantastic! This was our first time in Hawaii and we were not disappointed. The crew at Sea Quest Ocean Rafting just made our trip even more memorable. Thanks guys because this trip was truly a blessing!

Hula Kai Kona Luxury Snorkel Tour with 2 Snorkeling Stops, Breakfast & Lunch

What a day!

Reviewed by: Lianne

We absolutely loved our day on the Hula Kai! Before we even left the harbour we saw a monk seal and spinner dolphins. A few minutes out, we came upon a pod of pilot whales then a few minutes later, another. The snorkel locations were wonderful, the crew great. We've been to the island several times and this was definitely the best snorkel/scuba experience we've had!

High Quality

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We went on the deluxe snorkel cruise. The boat was phenomenal! The boat itself is one of the nicest I've ever been on, and I was impressed with the overall quality of everything on board. The snorkeling was great! We swam with tropical fish and even a Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle. Along the coral reef I saw an octopus and an eel. This was such a great experience!

Deluxe Captain Cook Snorkeling Tour at Kealakekua Bay - Fair Wind Cruises

First Rate/Best Deal

Reviewed by: linda

I took my 85 year old mother who has some physical limitations, my 73 year old husband, and my self (62) on the midday (no meal) cruise and snorkeling adventure. It was heavenly! The staff gave a general, easy to understand lesson to all. When my mother got down the stairs she decided she did not want to go. The staff people told me to go ahead that they would take care of her. A few minutes later she was out viewing the reef with a tube and a box. My husband did the same. I was able to relax and enjoy without worries. Thank you so much for one of the most pleasurable things I have done!

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

sunset cruise that wasn't

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

On July 2nd, The historical sunset cruise we took was fabulous right until the end but we were very disappointed that the captain elected to dock five minutes too soon. A fantastic sunset was in the making and if we had slowed down five minutes we would have been treated to a terrific sky. Everyone with a camera was out on deck with cameras ready, and we just pulled right in to dock watching the sun slip behind the island instead of over the water where it would have been had we stayed out five more minutes. I know for certain many others were unhappy with this handling of time. Why we had to dock so quickly is a mystery to me.

Fantasitic Cruise

Reviewed by: Davis

The sunset cruise we took was awesome. They have excelled my expectation on every aspects: the boat, crew, food, entertainment, etc. The cruise ended with the beautiful Hawaiian sunset over the vast Pacific Ocean. We even got to see a pod of dolphins as a bonus. I'll recommend this to anyone who is looking for a nice all-around sunset cruise. Mahalo!

THIS WAS A BLAST!!! THE BOAT WAS PERFECTLY SUITED FOR SNORKELING AND THE FOOD WAS GREAT. THE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL AND OFFERED GREAT TIPS TO A FIRST TIMER LIKE ME. IF I COULD AFFORD IT, WE WOULD HAVE BOOKED A SECOND TRIP. BUT OVERALL THE SNORKEL TRIP WAS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE ACTIVITIES WE SCHEDULED ON THE TRIP.

Favorite Activity of Our Vacation

We absolutely enjoyed the Fair Wind Catamaran Cruise activity. The crew was friendly and very accomodating, the snorkeling location was absolutely beautiful and was filled with sea life and the experience overall was wonderful. Definitely recommend this activity. Will definitely repeat this activity when we visit the Big Island again.

Fair Winds Staff were very friendly and professional. Service felt very personalized even with such a large amount of people. Boat was very comfortable and we had a very pleasant journey to the Captain Cook Monument (our snorkel spot). Kids loved the water slide and high dive off the boat as much as the snorkeling experience.

Staff was very knowledgable and friendly. We did the afternoon cruise and were amazed by how many people they fit onto the boat...it was huge. The snorkling was great and it was easily modifed for all ability levels from small (2 yr old) children, to the elderly. They do not provide life vests, but you dont need them. They do have waist floats if you would feel more comfortable. Great time

Awesome Experience

Reviewed by: The Sharp Family

Everyone we talked to on the Big Island said that this was the best snorkeling experience in Hawaii. After taking an afternoon sail, I can see why. The simple answer is that it has an extremely awesome crew. They are both knowledgeable and very friendly. The snorkeling gear fitted well (and we were one of the last groups to receive ours so they clearly had enough to go around) and the snorkeling was great. My children enjoyed both the diving platform and the slide (and i did as well.) Mahalo.

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had a wonderful time last Thursday aboard the Fair Wind. The weather could have been better on our afternoon cruise; however, that is obviously beyond the control of the crew. The snorkeling was great and it was a unique way to see the coast (and to visit the Captain Cook monument without having to make the drive.) Best of all, the crew was fanstastic--organized, efficient and very friendly. It was probably our only Hawaii activity where tips were truly vountarly. Thanks for a great time.

Wanting and Getting Adventure

Reviewed by: Kalelena & Kiana Lowry

After two weeks on Island and doing many things, we reflected on our wonderful adventure with the Fair Wind gang. From the Wahines at the check in to the crew on board an awesome time was had by all. We made friends along the way and had a much needed adventure you can't get unless you get aboard. The island is so beautiful from off shore and should be checked out by everyone in need of some true fun. The boat is clean and comfortable. The crew was really up for giving everyone what they needed and smiles and laughter where the results all around. We saw more dolphin on this trip than we did on an actual dolphin trip we went on. A win win in our book. We have a condo in Kona and go quit often. Fair Wind adventures have made a return client out of us on our future trips. Mahalo nui loa for all the le'ale'a (fun)!!!!
