We participated as a couple. Most of the tour participants were American, so there was a bit of an away feeling, but one of the participants kindly spoke to us in slow, clear English since we didn't understand much.
We encountered many dolphins, and snorkeling was fun. But above all, the high-speed boat was thrilling! However, after snorkeling, the wind was quite strong and cold, so a jacket is necessary!
夫婦で参加。ツアー参加者はアメリカ人ばかりでアウェイ感はありましたが、参加者の一人が英語がわからない私たちに、ゆっくりと分かりやすい英語で話しかけてくれて助かりました。
イルカにも沢山出会えましたし、シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
でも、何といっても高速ボートがスリル満点‼
ただ、シュノーケルの後は風がかなり当たって寒いので、上着は必要です‼

I participated at the end of April with a total of six people: my family of four, plus my father and mother.
The one-hour boat ride to our destination was pleasant and enjoyable. Drinks and snacks were provided, and we could help ourselves. The staff were very cheerful and kind, efficiently preparing snorkels and fins in sizes that suited everyone.
Upon arriving at the bay with the Captain Cook monument, it was finally time for snorkeling. I was worried about whether my six-year-old daughter and my 66-year-old father would be able to participate, but there were plenty of floaties and body wraps available, so we could enjoy it with peace of mind. The water was a bit cold, but it was great to see so many colorful fish.
On the return trip, we encountered a pod of dolphins. Dolphins gathered from all around, swimming alongside the boat and jumping around us. We were able to see their cute appearances and behaviors for about 20 minutes, which was very moving.
I created many wonderful memories. Next time I visit the Big Island, I definitely want to join the Fair Wind snorkeling tour again. Thank you very much.
私は4月末に、家族四人&私の父と母、の合計6人で参加しました。
目的地に着くまでの一時間程、船の旅も気持ちよく楽しいものでした。ドリンクやスナックが用意されていて、自由に取りに行く形でした。
スタッフの方々もとても明るく親切で、それぞれにあったサイズのシュノーケル、フィンも手際よく用意してくれました。
キャプテンクックの記念碑がある湾に到着し、いよいよシュノーケルです。
娘は6歳、私の父は66歳だったので出来るか心配していましたが、浮き輪や体に巻き付ける浮具がたくさん用意されていたので、安心して楽しめました。海は少し冷たかったですが、カラフルな魚がたくさん見れて良かったです。
帰りの船ではイルカの群れに遭遇しました。あちこちからイルカがたくさん集まってきて、船と並んで泳いだり、周りでジャンプしたり、、
20分ほどイルカの可愛い姿や仕草が見れて、
とっても感動しました。
本当に素敵な思い出がたくさんできました。
次回、ハワイ島に行くときは必ずまたフェアウィンド号のシュノーケルツアーに参加したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

I had very little experience swimming before, and it was my first time snorkeling, so I was quite anxious. However, I am grateful to our guide, Daisuke, for easing my nerves. Since we were looking for wild dolphins, there was no guarantee we would see them, but it seemed like he was using his experienced intuition to search for them. Normally, it takes about an hour to find them, but in our case, we encountered them just one minute after departure and were able to swim with them for a long time.
これまで泳ぎをあまりしたことがなく、シュノーケリングも初めてでとても不安でしたが、ガイドの大輔さんが緊張を柔らげてくださって感謝です。野性のイルカなので、必ず会える保証はないとのことですが、経験豊富な勘?でイルカを探していただいているようで、普段1時間ぐらいは船を走らせるところ、私達の時は、出航わずか1分で遭遇し、長い時間一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました。

We went as a family of four with two girls, 10 and 8,neither of whom had ever snorkelled. (but both had kayaked). We did the afternoon tour and were really lucky to see the spinner dolphins on the way to and from the snorkeling. The ethos of the tour was amazing. Once spotted, we stopped paddling and let them come to us, no chasing, no interference and Deanna and her colleague (sorry, forgot his name), clearly care so much about the reef and local wildlife, very much respecting it and observing rather than chasing it down. Once on the reef they showed us local plants, and got all our goggles ready for snorkeling. As my kids hadn't snorkelled before they were botha bit scared, but Deanna was super helpful, and got in with them. Once they looked down they were off, and didn't want to come in. Snacks and drinks were provided, as was a history of the Captain Cook monument. Would highly highly recommend.... No guarantees you will get dolphins, but incredibly safe and clear snorkeling, best I have seen and clearly run by people who care most about maintaining the reef and wildlife for future generations.

As everyone has mentioned, Daisuke's personality and thoughtfulness as our guide were wonderful, and I felt safe participating. Just a few minutes after setting sail, dolphins appeared, and we were able to swim with them at a distance that felt almost within reach. It seemed like a very lucky occurrence.
I was worried about seasickness, but I took some motion sickness medication and it turned out fine (I took Aneron, but since I was concerned, I took it early and ended up feeling too drowsy and dizzy. I regained my composure once on the boat, but it might be better to take it about 30 minutes before departure).
Above all, I was grateful that Daisuke kept encouraging us with a smile, saying things like, "Relax! Just think of yourself as a dolphin!" We were fine, but he was very considerate of those who might struggle with swimming, ensuring that everyone could enjoy the experience.
The mother and baby dolphins were truly adorable, and the waters around the Big Island were incredibly beautiful, leaving me very satisfied!
Although it’s unrelated to the tour, I was worried that my hair and skin would feel sticky from the seawater after swimming, but I was completely fine with just letting it air dry (it was nice and smooth). I stayed at the Mauna Lani Resort, but instead of returning to the hotel, I was able to efficiently use my time by visiting several coffee farms with my rental car for sightseeing before heading back.
皆さん書いているように、引率してくれるダイスケさんの人柄と気遣いがとてもよく、安心して参加できました。
出航してから数分でイルカが現れ、すぐに手が届きそうな程の距離でイルカ達と泳ぐことができました。これはとてもラッキーなことだったようです。
船酔いが心配でしたが、酔い止めを飲んでいったら大丈夫でした(アネロンを飲みましたが、心配だっだので早めに飲んだら逆に眠くなりすぎてふらふらに。船に乗ったら正気に戻りましたけど、出発30分前くらいがいいのかもしれません)。
何よりもダイスケさんが「リラックスして!自分はイルカだと思ってね!」等と笑顔で何度も声をかけてくれたのがありがたかった。私達は大丈夫だったけど、泳ぐのが苦手な人にもものすごく気を遣っていて、みんなが楽しめるように配慮してくれていました。
イルカの親子は本当にかわいかったし、ハワイ島の海も本当にきれいで大満足でした!
ツアーとは関係ありませんが、泳いだ後髪や肌が海水でベタベタになるのではと不安でしたが、そのまま自然乾燥で全然大丈夫でした(サラサラでしたよ)。マウナラニリゾート滞在だったのですが宿には戻らず、レンタカーでそのままコーヒー農園等をいくつか回って観光して帰ることができ、時間を効率的に使うことができたと思います。

We encountered about 20 dolphins just five minutes after departure! After that, we spotted two small whales (which the guide mentioned are quite rare to see). Even though it wasn't included in the tour, we were able to swim and see them up close.
When we moved to Dolphin Point, we were able to meet around 100 dolphins. The sight of dolphins swirling around us was a memory of a lifetime. There’s a rule against touching them, but they come close enough for us to reach out (however, our hands have a lot of germs, and touching them could cause burns, so we must absolutely not touch!). It was clear that the guide was enjoying himself, which made it fun for us too.
As a bonus, we also got to see a whale, which felt like an incredible deal.
Afterward, we received potato chips and juice to satisfy our little hunger.
I realized that many customers had also come on the same tour two years ago or were planning to come again tomorrow, which showed me how great this tour is. If I have the chance to come again, I would definitely want to participate.
出発して5分もしないところでイルカ20頭程と早速遭遇!
その後、小さなクジラ2匹に遭遇!(ガイドさんでもなかなか見れない種類らしい)
そこでもツアーに含まれないのに泳いで見ることができました。
その後ドルフィンポイントに移動したら、おそらく100頭ほどのイルカに出会うことができました。
左右下にぐるぐるとイルカがいる様子は、一生の思い出になりました。
触ってはいけないルールなのですが、触れるほどの距離までイルカから来てくれます(が、私たちの手にはばい菌が沢山で、イルカが火傷のようになるので絶対触ってはいけません!)

その後も、おまけでホエールも見れて、本当にお得すぎました。

First of all, I was impressed by the transparent and beautiful blue sea. Lucky for us, just as we left the port, we discovered a pod of dolphins swimming with their dorsal fins out of the water. We even spotted some dolphins jumping. I was able to enter the water about four times, aiming for the route the dolphins were taking. The wetsuit keeps you afloat without any effort, but if you're feeling anxious, it's a good idea to use a floatation device. I think we borrowed floatation devices for about three people this time.
During the first time in the water, I wasn't quite used to the sea yet, so I was a bit slow to put my face in the water, and I barely managed to see the dolphins swimming far away. The second time, as soon as I got in the water and put my face down, I was able to see a mother and baby dolphin swimming slowly right below me. I could also hear their cute squeaking sounds. After that, I got more comfortable in the water and was able to enjoy the sunlight filtering through the water and the sight of many dolphins swimming around me.
At the end, Daisuke, who was driving the boat, insisted that he wanted to get in the water! He switched places with Jesse and jumped in, swimming like a dolphin. I couldn't help but wonder if Daisuke was actually a dolphin (laughs).
Jesse, who also provided transportation, didn't look Japanese at all, but he spoke Japanese very well, and I was able to hear a lot of stories beyond just dolphins, which made it really enjoyable. Thank you very much!

ラッキーなことに港を出てすぐに、背びれを出して泳いでいるイルカの群れを発見しました。
そのうちジャンプするイルカも発見。
イルカが進行してくるルートをねらって、4回ほど海に入らせてもらえました。
ウェットスーツは何もしなくても浮くのですが、不安な人は遠慮なく浮き具をもらうといいです。
今回は3人ほど浮き具を貸してもらっていたと思います。
1回目はちょっとまだ海に慣れてなかったので、顔を水に付けるタイミングが遅れて、遠くに泳いでいるイルカをなんとか見れたという感じでした。
2回目は、海に入ってすぐ顔をつけると、真下をゆっくり泳いでいく親子のイルカを見られました。
キューキューというかわいい声も聞けました。
それ以降は水に慣れてきて、海中を差し込む太陽光とたくさんのイルカの泳ぐ姿を余裕をもって見ることができました。
最後は船を運転していたダイスケさんが、どうしても海に入りたい!と言って、ジェシーさんに運転をチェンジして、海に入るとイルカみたいに泳いでました。

Thank you very much, Gittaka, for taking the time to write a review. I apologize for not being able to provide a Japanese guide. I appreciate your sentiment of feeling like you were abroad instead. I'm glad to hear that you encountered not only dolphins but also whales. Our English guides are accustomed to accommodating customers who do not speak English as their first language, but it is indeed different from having a Japanese guide, so I am grateful for your flexibility in that regard.
ギッタカ様、わざわざお時間を割いてレビューを書いてくださり、誠にありがとうございました。日本語ガイドをご用意出来ず申し訳ありませんでした。「かえって海外来たって感じられた」というそのギッタカ様の気持ちのもちように感謝いたします。イルカだけでなく、クジラにも遭遇出来たようでそれはそれは良かったです。弊社の英語ガイドは英語を母国語として話されないお客様の応対にも慣れておりますが、やはり日本語ガイドとは違いますから、そこを柔軟に対応してくださったギッタカ様に感謝申し上げます。
