It was a reservation for the day we arrived on the Big Island. Most of the guests were foreigners, and there were a lot of people in line. The weather wasn't great, and they were handing out simple ponchos while we waited. My wife's poncho seemed to be a bit defective, and she struggled to put it on, but several foreigners in line helped her, and she finally managed to wear it. It was a fun memory. As for the show, it started to rain heavily around the time we were having dinner, and the drinks became watered down, so due to the fatigue from the flight, we ended up leaving before the show started. What a shame! However, it seemed that the foreigners were enjoying themselves despite the rain.
ハワイ島に到着した日の予約でした。お客さんはほとんど外国の人で、大勢の人が並んでいました。天気が良くなくて 並んでいる時に簡易ポンチョが配られていました。家内のポンチョはちょっと不良品だったようで 着るのに苦労していると 周りに並んでいた外国の方が 何人も手伝ってくれてやっと着用できました。楽しい思い出です。 肝心のショーの方は、食事をとってきた頃から雨が激しくなりドリンクも水っぽくなってしまったので 飛行機の疲れもあってショーが始まったころに退席してしまいました。残念!! 外国の方は雨もなんのその 皆さん楽しまれていたようです。

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 have a fear of heights and get motion sickness as soon as I get in a car, but I enjoyed it. We were the only ones on the boat, and there wasn't much waiting time, which was great. However, if there had been a few more groups, I think I would have gotten seasick (^^; Once we set off, it was so bumpy that I felt like I might be thrown off more than during parasailing, which was quite scary (laughs).
Everyone spoke only English, but they were all interesting people, and we had a great time chatting and going over the safety instructions before heading to the spot. The view from above was really beautiful, and I didn't feel as high up as I expected, so I'm glad I did it! I asked for photos and received 25 to 30 pictures on an SD card for $41.
高所恐怖症&車に乗った瞬間酔う私ですが楽しめました。
ボートは私たちだけで、船の待機時間が少なかったのでよかったですが、なん組かいたら船酔いしていたと思います(^^;出発してから捕まってても振り落とされそうなくらい揺れてパラセイリングよりも船の方が怖かったです(笑)
英語のみですが、みなさん面白い方達で出発前から盛り上がり、注意事項とちょっとした会話を楽しみながらポイントへ向かいました。
空からみる景色はとってもきれいで、高さも思ったよりも高さは感じなくて、やってよかったです!写真をお願いしましたが25~30枚をSDカードでもらえて41ドルでした。

Me and my family attended this activity on 5/12/17 and it was everything and more! There was a total of 8 of us in my family that went. The boat was huge and there was not a lot of people so there was plenty of room to sit and wander. The crew was friendly and very informational! They answered all questions and did a good instructional of what to expect and what not to do. Once in the water they were so helpful especially for those snorkeling for the first time. They helped you every step of the way to make sure you were having the best time possible. They eased you and helped to calm your nerves. We saw three manta's during our time and it was amazing! A must do event that no one can miss. Once we were back on the boat there were a total of five manta's swimming around almost pleading us to come back in the water! Two of us got sea sick over the side of the boat and the crew was super nice about it and just said that we were feeding the fish! Hahahaha. I would highly recommend this snorkel swim and specifically with the Hula Kai. It seemed to be the better of what I could see once out on the bay. I can not thank the crew enough for such a wonderful experience for our family! Job well done!

Swimming with Manta Rays has been on my bucket list for a very long time. Seeing these beautiful creatures swimming next to you was absolutely unreal! As you can only spot Manta Rays at night we went for a short boat trip first where we watched the sunset, enjoyed the weather and had a few drinks. Our captain was a great guy who showed us something I couldn’t believe existed – a green flash right before the sun disappears below the horizon – thought it was a myth! Crew did everything they could to make us feel comfortable and to enhance our experience throughout the entire trip. Manta Rays were swimming right next to us and I managed to get a perfect footage on my GoPro camera which I am going to use for my video. This experience is a must do if you are visiting Big Island – this was definitely a highlight of my trip to Hawaii!

It was an interactive show, so the performance itself was short, but I enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was fairly good as well. They made the drink I wanted (highball) when I asked for it. There weren't any noisy customers. I was staying at the Kamehameha, but I was glad I walked over here to experience a closer ocean vibe. Also, I arrived just in time and, although I had to wait a little, I was able to secure a seat relatively close to the stage.
参加型のショーなので、鑑賞するショー自体は短いですが、
雰囲気は楽しめました。ご飯もまぁまぁおいしかったです。
お酒も欲しいもの(ハイボール)を言えば作ってくれました。
お客さんも騒がしい人たちはいませんでした。
カメハメハに滞在していましたが、
より海に近い雰囲気を味わいたかったので、こちらまで歩いてきて良かったです。
また、時間ぎりぎりに行き、少し並んだものの、割と舞台に近い席は確保できました。

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。

I have participated in snorkeling tours on all the islands in Hawaii, but this spot on the Big Island has the most coral and plenty of fish—it's truly a wonderful place! This is my third time, and I'm always very satisfied. The price is a bit high, but the boat is clean, the lunch is delicious, and it's very comfortable. There are various activities on the Big Island, but I definitely want to experience snorkeling in the ocean. I really recommend it! My 82-year-old father didn't go into the water, but he enjoyed just looking at the beautiful sea like he was on a cruise. I will definitely come back again.
ハワイでは全ての島でシュノーケリングツアーに参加してますが、
ハワイ島のここが1番珊瑚が多く魚もたくさんいて本当に素敵なスポットです♪
今回三回目ですがいつも大満足です。
ちょっと金額は高いですが、ボートもキレイだしランチも美味しいし
とても快適
ハワイ島は色んなアクティビティあるけどやっぱり海でシュノーケリングも体験しで欲しいです。ほんとにオススメ
82歳の父は海には入らないけどクルーズ気分でキレイな海を眺めているだけで楽しめました。

The cost was $100, and at first, I thought it was a bit expensive, but $100 is about 11,000 yen. Considering that you get to see a live traditional luau and Hawaiian show up close, along with an all-you-can-eat meal and drinks, it’s quite reasonable. There were hardly any Japanese people around, and everyone spoke only English. I was a bit anxious, but it was fun, and by the end, I was shouting in Hawaiian along with the host. After the luau, I took pictures with the dancers on stage. I even got a tattoo stamp on my arm, just like the Hawaiians (it was water-based ink, so it came off quickly afterward). It was so much fun!
費用が100ドルで、最初はちょっと高いかなと思いましたが、100ドルって11,000円ですよね。生の伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショーを間近に見て、おいしい食事とドリンクは食べ放題、飲み放題だったら、充分リーズナブルでしょう。ほとんど日本人が居ない中で、廻りは英語のみ。不安に固まりでしたが、楽しくて、終わりには司会者の声に合わせてハワイ語の叫び声を上げていました。ルアウ後、舞台で踊ったダンサー達と写真を撮りました。腕にはハワイ人と同じ入れ墨をスタンプ(水性インクなので後ですぐに落ちました)してもらいました。楽しかったなー。

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.

Neither my husband nor I had been parasailing before, but opted for the 1,200ft option because we wanted to get the most from the experience. It was so much fun! I though I'd be a little afraid, but after watching the other folks ahead of us (We were one of two parties on the boat), it didn't seem scary at all. Once we got up the view took our breath away so there was no room for fear. We dipped our feet in the water at the end, and wished the ride could've have been longer than the 15-20 minutes. The crew was great and very patient with my seasickness at the end.

We attended the luau on March 29, 2017 and had a lovely time. It was a buffet style and you could make more than one trip to the table - and to the open bar until 7:00pm. The Mai tais, were delicious, punch bowl style and self serve. The food was good, not great, but there was a good variety. The entertainment was fun to watch, the dances from the different Polynesian Islands were interesting, especially the fire dancer! You can't go to Hawaii without a luau and this is a good one to check out.
