My wife and I were treated to a magnificent drive down the unusually steep road into Waipio Valley in the early afternoon of Thursday, 4/18/24. Our tour guide Kaleo is a great young man who has lived in this unique place for most of his life; he grew up here. Kaleo was friendly, very knowledgeable, and very hospitable. He led us to several spectacular sites including waterfalls, lush foliage, and flowing streams. One could readily sense the tremendous power and majesty of this valley. We will treasure the opportunity we had to visit here. Our tour was for 1.75 hours. We HIGHLY recommend taking time to experience this great tour!

I highly recommend this company and their tours for their service and convenience. Each member of the crew was attentive and full of advice, facts about the area, and all clearly loved their jobs. The dock was easy to get to, no walking for miles to find an out-of-the-way pickup location. Finally, the food was delicious and it was nice not to have to bring my own. Same with the snorkeling masks and the sunscreen.

My husband and I were looking for a romantic way to cap off our week in Hawaii, and this was the perfect cruise for us. We were looking for something “quintessentially” Hawaiian and what is more iconic than a sunset dinner cruise? We are also both big history buffs, so we booked this tour based on the descriptions about the knowledgeable captain and crew, and they did not disappoint! They were full of commentary and stories about their island, and very patient answering all of our stupid questions. Mahalo and aloha, wish we could stay there!

I ask others to go with me, and get...
'is it a big helicopter? must be stable'
'need a seat in the middle up front or I'll barf'
'doors off, are you nutz?'
Don't let them ruin it for you. Small copter with doors off is the full woohooo. The ride is smooth and stable enough. The view out the open door is wondrous. Accept nothing less. Watch a video in the comfort of your couch or get the whole experience.

The cruise ship was luxurious, and the snacks were as advertised. The restrooms were relatively clean and spacious. I was impressed by the blue ocean and vast sea right after departure! The view of the natural beauty of the Big Island from the ship was amazing!
It might have been a time of high waves, but the rocking was intense, comparable to a roller coaster, and there were many people feeling unwell on board. I kept looking at the sea to avoid getting seasick.
After more than an hour of intense rocking without spotting any whales, we turned around, and after two and a half hours, we got quite close to the departure point when we finally saw a whale in the distance. The two people who joined me were feeling too sick to see anything, so they accepted that they would have to rely on the video I took.
I personally don't get seasick, so I was fine, but it might not be recommended for those who do.
客船は豪華で、軽食も情報通りでした。
お手洗いも割とキレイですし、広めでした。
出発直後は青い海、広い海に感動しました!
船から見るハワイ島の大自然も最高でした!
波の高い時期だったのかもしれませんが、とにかく揺れがすごく絶叫マシーン並みで、船内に体調不良者続出で、もらい◯◯しないように海を見続けていました。
1時間以上激しい揺れの中進んでもクジラは見つからず、Uターンして出航して2時間半経ち、出発地点にかなり近くなってきたところで遠くにクジラが見えました。一緒に参加した2人は具合が悪過ぎて何も見られず私の撮った動画で見れたことにしよう、と納得した、と言う感じでした。
私は船酔いしないタイプなので大丈夫でしたが、船酔いする方にはあまりオススメではないかもしれません。
ご参加いただきありがとうございます。フィードバックをいただき感謝いたします。あなたにとって最良の結果を願っています。残念ながら、船に乗る際には酔いが影響することがあります。ほとんどのゲストは問題なく過ごされています。酔いを経験されたことをお祈りしています。酔い止めの薬として、ドラマミンやボニンなどの市販薬があります。これらの薬は、乗船の少なくとも1時間前に服用すると効果的です。あなたとあなたのご家族に最良の願いを込めて!
Thank you for joining us. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the very best.
Unfortunately motion sickness is a factor anytime anyone goes on a boat. The vast majority of our guests do fine. Sending well wishes that you experienced motion sickness. There are over the counter remedies for motion sickness like Dramamine and Bonine. These medications work best if taken at least an hour prior to boarding.
Best wishes to you and yours!

The boat was comfortable, the captain was friendly and knowledgeable. We got a text in the morning saying that visibility was poor... and it was. We didn't see much. I don't feel like it was worth the price. Maybe a beverage, a snack or a little souvenir could have been included for the $50 we paid.

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your Glass Bottom Boat Cruise. We're so happy to read that you enjoyed the boat and your interactions with our Captain. We're sorry that the ocean didn't cooperate on the day of your cruise, and that's why we sent the text prior to your arrival.

We appreciate your suggestions about additional items that can be added to the cruise, and we've forwarded your ideas to our Exec Team for their review.

After a week in Hawaii, this one has proved to be the highlight of our trip. The boat ride was smooth and comfortable under the shade, especially later in the day. The captain and crew were so kind and helpful, one of the other passengers got seasick and they offered plenty of remedies (ginger candies‚ who knew). Shoutout to Jennifer and Bob who were great with the snorkeling and super knowledgeable about the fish and the area. If you are considering this tour do it!

We loved everything about this tour! The boat was comfortable and clean and there was plenty of room for our gear. The food was excellent. My husband and I are omnivores, but we thoroughly enjoyed the vegan lunch and breakfast! The snorkeling was so much fun and we were fortunate enough to have perfect weather. We brought our own snorkel equipment and fins, but the boat was equipped with all of that plus life vests, pool noodles, inner tubes, sun screen and anti fog spray for masks. Last, but most importantly, the crew was amazing. Everyone was so caring and helpful and made sure we felt comfortable and safe in the water and out. We will be sure to book with Fair Wind Cruises again when we travel to the Big Island.

We participated as a couple aged 64 and 57. Since it was a trip in February, we boarded the boat with high hopes of definitely encountering whales. It was about a two-hour cruise where we witnessed spouts and large breaths up close. I was a bit disappointed because I thought we would see larger whales closer. The boat was rocking, so we didn't eat any snacks. I'm glad we had this valuable experience.
64歳と57歳の夫婦で参加しました。
2月の旅行だったので鯨に確実に遭遇できるだろうと期待に胸を膨らませて乗船。
潮吹きや大きな息遣いも目の当たりにした約2時間のクルーズでした。
もっと大きな鯨が近くで見られると思っていたので少し残念ではありました。
船が揺れるので軽食は食べませんでした。
