We participated as a family of four. The location was a private beach at the hotel, and there were about 200 participants. Most of them were tourists from Western countries, and there were few Japanese attendees. The seating was on a first-come, first-served basis, and since we arrived just before the opening, only the seats at the back were available. Naturally, the seats closer to the front offered a more intense dance experience. Since we had small children with us, it turned out to be nice to have a spacious area at the back to relax.
Before the dance, there is a dinner (buffet style). The variety is abundant, with many Polynesian dishes, and I think it might be challenging for some Japanese men to try all the different types. There are also seafood dishes, allowing you to enjoy Hawaii's food culture. A significant difference from Japan is that Westerners tend to take a large amount at once and are less likely to go back for seconds, so for Japanese people who usually take smaller portions, there might be dishes they intended to eat later that are already gone. By the way, there is no replenishment of the food. The drinks are free-flowing, but the bar counter closes once the show starts, so please drink as much as you like before the food.
The dance show features not only Hawaiian hula but also various forms of dance from the Polynesian region, accompanied by music. There are no explanations in Japanese, but this actually enhances the atmosphere of being enveloped in a different culture, making it enjoyable. You will have a wonderful evening on the island of Hawaii, where the fire goddess Pele resides.
家族4人で参加しました。ロケーションはホテルのプライベートビーチで、参加者は200人程でした。ほとんどが欧米からの観光客で日本人は少なかったです。席は先着順で私達は開園直前に行ったので後ろの席しか空いていませんでした。当然前の方の席ほどダンスの迫力が違います。私達は小さな子供達がいたので結果的に後ろの方の席で広いスペースでのんびりとできてよかったです。
ダンスの前にディナー(ビュッフェ形式)があります。品数は豊富でポリネシアン料理がたくさんあって全種類食べるのには日本人の男性では厳しい方もいると思います。魚介類の料理もあってハワイの食文化を堪能できます。日本と決定的に違うのは、欧米人の方は1回で大量に取って2回目以降をとりに行く人が少ないので、1回のとる量が少量の日本人にとっては後で食べようと思っていた料理が無くなっていることもあります。ちなみに料理の補充はありません。お酒もフリードリンクですが、ショーが始まるとバーカウンターも閉じてしまうので、料理の前にお酒は好きなだけ飲んでおいて下さい。
ダンスショーはハワイのフラダンスショーONLYではなく、ポリネシア圏の様々な形のダンスを音楽を交えて披露してくれます。日本語の説明は一切ありませんが、かえって異文化に包まれている雰囲気が高まり楽しめます。
火の女神ペレが住む島ハワイ島での素敵な一晩になりますよ。

I was in Hawaii for a week and did a number of activities including shark cage swim, swimming with dolphins, Polynesian magic show, manta ray dive, 2-tank scuba dive, and the Polynesian cultural center, and this was my favorite of all of them. Even better...it was the least expensive!!! The snorkeling left something to be desired, but the kayaking itself and the cliff jump more than made up for that! I HIGHLY recommend this activity! Thanks Johnny, Kevin, and Jasmine!

I caught one!!! Hahaha! Me and my son did the Tandem so that he could go out with the instructor. He got over the nerves and wanted to do it over and over again. But we had a great time and ended up renting surfboards in Waikiki to test out our new skills pretty much everyday. I wish we had an ocean in Texas!

It was my first time attending a luau. The dancers were awesome, and I def. loved the fire dancer. The quality of the foods was good. I'm pretty sure there are people who don't like certain foods, but hey, you are experience something different, right? I liked poi, though not too many people tried it. Overall, it was a great experience.

My husband and I participated together. Since it was a tour without a Japanese guide, we were the only Japanese participants, but we received a Japanese guide (notices, etc.) during check-in, so as long as you have some experience with snorkeling and can communicate in English to some extent, you can enjoy it without any problems!
It was an afternoon tour, and we were blessed with good weather. The boat trip to the Captain Cook monument was very pleasant (my husband did feel a bit seasick, though...). We saw a lot of fish, and we were very satisfied to see a large turtle at the start of the trip.
Also, it was appealing that it was a tour without transportation since we had rented a car. However, I think it would be tough without a rental car. The parking was vaguely marked as Keauhou Bay, so I was a bit unsure about where it was, but when we actually went, a kind local man helped us out, so it wasn't a problem!
This is one of the tours I would like to join again if I have the time.
ダンナと2人で参加しました。日本語ガイドがないツアーのため日本人参加者は我々だけでしたが、チェックイン時に日本語のガイド(注意書きなど)が渡されるので、あとはシュノーケルツアーに参加したことがある方、少しでも英語でコミュニケーションがとれる方であれば問題なく楽しめます!
午後からのツアーでしたが、天気にも恵まれ、キャプテンクック碑まで行く船旅もとても気持ちよかったです。(ダンナは若干船酔していましたが・・・)
魚もたくさん見れましたし、出発時には大きなカメも見れて大満足です。
また、レンタカーを借りていたので送迎なしツアーであったことも魅力でした。ただ、レンタカーなしの場合は厳しいと思います。駐車場はケアウホウ湾とおおまかに記されていたので若干どこかな~と思いましたが、実際に行ったら近所のおじさんが親切に教えてくれたので問題なかったです!
時間があればまた参加したいツアーのひとつです。

We participated in an afternoon cruise. We were looking forward to swimming with the fish, and it was a wonderful experience. There were many colorful fish around the coral reef, and it felt like we were swimming in an aquarium.
The day we participated was cloudy, so perhaps because of that, the seawater was colder than we expected, and I was a bit surprised when I first entered the water. However, once in the sea, I had such a great time that I forgot about the cold. The cruise and snorkeling created very lovely memories. Next time, I definitely want to meet dolphins.
私たちは午後のクルーズに参加しました。魚たちと一緒に泳ぐのを楽しみにいきましたのでとてもいい経験をしました。サンゴ礁の周りにはたくさん、色とりどりの魚がいて、水槽の中を泳いでいるようでした。

I participated in the "Fair Wind Cruises - Kealakekua Bay Snorkeling" tour on June 21. It seems that the southern part of the Big Island often has cloudy weather, and this time was no exception, with a bit of cloudiness. However, taking a peek underwater revealed a completely different world! Tropical and colorful little fish were swimming joyfully. The combination of bright blue water with yellow, orange, red, and blue colors was absolutely beautiful. And then, there was a massive migration of gray fish! It felt like a dream. On the way back on the boat, as the speed picked up, a pod of dolphins swam playfully right alongside us, almost like companions. I don't think there are many opportunities to see wild dolphins up close like this. You'll create wonderful memories!
6月21日の”フェアウインド・クルーズ - ハワイ島ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリング”ツアーに参加してきました。ハワイ島の南の方は曇りが多いようで、今回もやや曇りぎみでした。ところが、海の中を一目覗くと全くの別世界!トロピカルでカラフルな可愛い魚たちが、楽しげに泳いでます。明るい水色の中に、黄色やオレンジ、赤やブルーの色のコンビネーションがとてもキレイでした。そして、グレーの魚の大群の大移動!夢のようでした。帰りの船でのこと、船のスピードが出てきたところに、イルカの群れがぴったり横に張り付いて仲間のように楽しげに泳いでました。こんなに近くで野生のイルカを見れる機会はそうないと思います。良い思い出が作れますよ。

I participated in an afternoon snack cruise on June 28. At first, I was worried about my companion getting seasick, but that concern was completely unnecessary. I had been on several other cruises before, but this one felt like it had the least amount of rocking. The ocean was beautiful as well. It was my first time seeing a coral reef up close like that. If you're going to Hawaii, that ocean is a must-see.
Before snorkeling, the captain gave a fairly long explanation and safety briefing, but it felt responsible and trustworthy. Even so, we had a full two hours to snorkel. The staff was very well-mannered and kind, which made for a very pleasant experience.
On the way back, I dozed off while enjoying the view of the Big Island from the boat, feeling the pleasant fatigue from snorkeling and the sea breeze. I didn't get to see any dolphins, but next time, I plan to wake up early and join a morning cruise, which has a higher chance of encountering dolphins.
6月28日にアフタヌーンスナッククルーズに参加しました。まずは同行者の船酔いが心配だったのですがそんな心配は全くいりませんでした。

帰りは船の上からハワイ島の景色を見ながらシュノーケリングの心地よい疲れと海風でうたた寝してしまいました。

I participated in the afternoon cruise. I wasn't sure where the meeting place, Fair Wind's office, was, so I showed my reservation to the staff in the lobby of the condo where I stayed (Kona by the Sea) and they helped me with directions on a simple map. I can't speak English, but they wrote down how to get there, so I was able to find it without getting lost. It's better to leave a bit earlier, though.
Before departure, I went to the restroom and noticed several awards for Hawaii tours hanging carelessly along the hallway. Gold award? Silver award? They've been receiving them every year, and for the past three years, they've mostly been gold awards. They seem to be quite established. But you won't know until you experience it.
I had previously participated in a tour on a small boat on the Big Island and had a bad experience due to the rough waves, so I was a bit worried. Once on board, all the staff's names were displayed, and the captain was Mr. Hiromoto. I wondered if he was of Japanese descent, which made me feel a bit more at ease. After departure, I felt even more reassured. There was hardly any rocking—rather, it was a pleasant sway. The beauty of the ocean was absolutely perfect. On the way back, it's a good idea to bring something to keep warm, as your body might get cold.

We went on the Fair Wind Cruises' Kealakekua Bay snorkeling afternoon tour as a family. I was hesitant to book the cruise due to concerns about the weather, but it turned out to be the right decision. On June 28, the day we participated, it was cloudy in the morning, but as the boat set off, the skies gradually cleared. We spent four days on the Big Island, and it didn't rain at all.
Once we arrived at Captain Cook, we enjoyed snorkeling for a full two hours. The water clarity was excellent. There were plenty of fish, and the coral reefs were very beautiful. Above all, the staff was incredibly kind (they must have good employee training), and when I, lacking confidence in swimming, hesitated, they offered me a box with a glass bottom to use. With this, I could see underwater very well without having to put my face in the water. They also provided life jackets and floaties. I definitely want to participate again when I come back to the Big Island.

I participated in the Afternoon Snack Cruise. It was great! It was just the two of us, a parent and child. When we woke up in the morning, it was unfortunately cloudy, and I was worried about the rain, but it turned out to be better than expected. Occasionally, the sun peeked through, and the breeze on the boat was wonderful! It's a feeling you can only experience on a boat. After about 30 minutes, we arrived at the snorkeling point in front of the Captain Cook monument. Once we got into the water, I was amazed by the clarity. It was my first time seeing so many corals. There were many fish of various sizes and colors swimming among the corals. The untouched beauty of the ocean in Waikiki is too precious to just lump it all together as Hawaii. Next time, I definitely want to join the Deluxe Morning Cruise, where I might encounter dolphins!

I participated in the afternoon tour with my two elementary school children.
It was a mistake not to download the map beforehand, as I wasn't sure where the parking lot was. When we checked in at the office, they provided us with a document in Japanese that included important information that would be explained on the boat, so I felt reassured even though my English isn't great. At that time, there were only four of us Japanese and a young couple, but there was a Japanese-Brazilian woman named Rei who spoke fluent Japanese, which was comforting!
We brought our own prescription masks, but they were also available on the boat (Rx masks). They had prescriptions up to 4.0, which seemed to be fine for those with a vision of about 0.1. However, since they were quietly asking around after the fins were handed out, I think it would be better to say "I want an Rx mask!" when borrowing masks at the beginning. Kealakekua Bay is very beautiful, with colorful fish swimming nearby, and the kids enjoyed snorkeling until the last minute. Since the weather was a bit cloudy, it got quite cold on the way back, so it might have been better to have something to wear in addition to a towel. It was a tour that both adults and children could enjoy, and I'm glad we participated!

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.

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.

A group of eight of us, my wife and I, our 9 year old daughters, my sister and her husband, and my brother and his wife, went kayaking for the first time with Ocean Safari Kayaks, and we all agreed that is was one of the best activities of our whole trip. The staff, Mikey and Debbie, was very friendly, informative, and supportive and the locations we visited were awesome. Although not as leisurely as going on a snorkeling trip with a power boat or raft company, I'd say this trip gives you more of a sense of adventure. We were able to check out the Dragon's Throat Sea Cave, which was a bit intimidating, but with their guidance, were able to successfully enter. Then, came the snorkeling which was awesome, and most importantly the cliff dive. That is one experience I may never stop talking about.

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)!!!!

They provided a narrative about the Captain Cook Monument and a quick review of how to snorkel for the experienced participants. For those with little or no experience they provided further assistance. The waters were clear and the coral was beautiful. We spotted several different types of fish too. The fresh oranges and pineapples provided as snacks were quite delicious after being in the water for so long. All in all this was a very pleasant excursion.
