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。
他のクルーズには何回か参加した事があったのですがいままでで一番揺れが少なかったと感じました。
海もきれいでしたよ。あんなにまじかにさんご礁を見たのははじめてでした。せっかくハワイに行ったならあの海は必見です。シュノーケリングの前に船長の説明と注意事項が結構長くありましたがそれも責任ある仕事って感じがして信頼できました。それでもたっぷり2時間はシュノーケルできましたよ。スッタフもとても行儀良く親切なのでとても気持ち良く楽しむことができました。
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。
イルカは見ることはできませんでしたが次回は早起きしてイルカの遭遇率の高いモーニングクルーズに参加しようと思います。

I participated with some skepticism, but I'm really glad I did. I've never seen a starry sky like that. It just happened to coincide with the new moon, so I was able to see many stars, including the Southern Cross! I didn't get altitude sickness and had a great time. I understand now why everyone recommends this tour. I can definitely recommend it!

The weather was wonderful, and we had a truly spectacular sunset and starry sky. I also made friends with others who participated, and we ended up having dinner together later on Oahu, which was a great encounter. I'm really glad I joined this tour.
This was my second time on this tour, but the starry sky changes with the seasons, so I recommend participating several times throughout the year!
天気にも恵まれ、本当にすばらしいサンセット、星空となりました。また一緒に参加した方と仲良くなりその後のオアフでも夕食をご一緒させてもらうという、出会いもあり、参加して本当に良かったです。

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.

出発前にトイレに行ったら途中の廊下にハワイのツアーに贈られる表彰状が無造作に何枚も掛けてありました。金賞?銀賞?毎年もらってるんだなーここ3年は金賞ばかりでした。
結構、老舗なのね。でも体験してみないとわからんぞー。
以前ハワイ島で小さな船で行くツアーに参加してあまりの揺れに体調が悪くなった経験がありちょっと心配だったのです。乗船するとスッタフ全員の名前が表示してありキャプテンはHIROMOTOさんでした。日系の方かしら?ちょっと安心。出発してもっと安心しました。揺れほとんどない?
と言うよりは心地よい揺れでした。海の美しさは100点満点でした。帰りは体が冷えているではおるものを持っていったほうがいいですよ。

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.

お魚もたくさんいましたし、さんご礁もとてもきれいでした。なによりスタッフがとても親切(きっと社員教育ができているんでしょう)で泳ぎに自信のない私に「これ使う?」と箱の底がガラスになったものを貸してくれました。
これを使うと顔を水につけなくても海の中がすごく良く見えました。もちろんライフジャケットや浮き輪まで貸してくれましたよ。今度ハワイ島に来る時も是非参加したいです。

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!

よかったですよー。私たちは親子2人での参加でした。 朝起きるとあいにくの曇り空で雨は大丈夫かな~と心配しながらの参加でしたが予想以上によかったです。 途中から時折日差しも見えてきて、何より船の上で感じる風!これは船に乗らないと感じる事ができない気持ち良さです。30分ほどでキャプテンクックの記念碑の前のシュノーケリングポイントに到着です。 海に入るとその透明度にびっくりしました。 あんなにたくさんの珊瑚を見たのは初めてでした。その珊瑚の間を行きかう大、小、色もさまざまな魚がたくさんいました。ハワイとひとくくりで言ってしまうにはもったいないワイキキの海とは全く違う手つかずの美しい海でした。
次回は是非イルカに出会えるかもしれないデラックス モーニングクルーズに参加したいです。

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!

I participated on June 21.
It was absolutely amazing! To be specific about what was great:
1. The journey
As we made our way to the summit, we picked up guests while touring around the hotel, and the scenery along with the guide's commentary kept us engaged. We stopped at beautiful spots along the way to take photos.
2. Japanese cuisine
You might wonder why we had Japanese food for dinner while abroad, but once you taste it on-site, you'll understand. The miso soup enjoyed in that magnificent scenery and cold weather is exceptional!
3. The scenery
It can't be conveyed through photos. It's simply incredible. I was left speechless beyond that word. It's something I want my loved ones to see.
4. The starry sky
Even as someone who is used to seeing stars living in the countryside, I was moved by its beauty. I could see satellites and the Milky Way. I also spotted several shooting stars. They showed us Saturn's rings and Jupiter's stripes through a telescope. The guide's extensive knowledge and enjoyable explanations enhanced the experience.
5. Warm clothing
I believe it was warmer than the cold-weather gear from other companies that were also at the summit.
6. The guide
Their knowledge, personality, and reliability were all top-notch. I will definitely return!

とにかく最高です!何が最高なのか具体的に書くと
1.道中
ホテルを回りお客さんを拾いながら山頂へ向かって行きますが、景色とガイドのトークが飽きさせません。山頂までの途中、景色の良いところで下車し写真撮影もさせてくれます。
2.和食
なぜ海外なのに夕食に和食が出るのかと思いますが、現場で食べて見ればわかります。あの雄大な景色と寒さの中ですする味噌汁は格別です!
3.景色
写真では伝わりません。凄いの一言です。この言葉以外言葉を失いました。大切な人に見て欲しいものがそこにあります。
4.星空
田舎住まいで星に見慣れている私ですら感動する綺麗さです。人口衛星も天の川も見れました。流れ星もいくつも見れました。望遠鏡で土星の輪や木星の縞模様も見せてくれました。ガイドの知識の豊富さと楽しい解説が魅力を引き立ててくれます。

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)!!!!

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.

On June 6, 2008, I participated with four colleagues from work! When we saw the sunset, it was super cold! I thought, "Is this really Hawaii???" but they lent us jumpsuits, so we managed to get through it. (Personally, I think I should have worn more layers underneath...) After that, we went down a bit from the summit to see the starry sky, and it was just a sky full of stars☆★ They used a laser pointer to explain everything clearly. I saw the Milky Way for the first time and the Southern Cross! It was an overwhelming experience. Furthermore, our guide, Shinya, seemed to have a hobby for photography and took pictures of us with the stars in the background. This will be a treasure for a lifetime. Thank you so much!!
