This was BY FAR the best tour we took - even better than the helicopter tour of the volcano!
We enjoyed the smaller boat - only 12 people on our tour (from teens to seniors) plus Captain Steve and the Drew crew. Other boats seemed to have hundreds on board, although they may have had better facilities. Kayaks can damage the coral, and they aren't as mobile as the boat - no whale searching or cave exploring.
First, Hawaii Activities actually called us to check that we were going to be there on time and asked if we had any questions. Then, we checked in, signed waivers, and were assigned to our boat. It was all very organized and ran very smoothly.
Steve and Drew were very knowledgeable and patient with first timers. They served a wonderful snack (fresh pineapple and other fruits, chips, cookies, etc), and the snorkeling (two spots) was wonderful. They even had a book to help us identify what we had seen.
The icing on the cake was that two whales decided to grace us w

This was a great tour! We saw whales, dophins and plenty of beautiful tropical fish. The boat was comfortable and the staff did a great job. We even got to listen to the whales singing with an underwater microphone!

I went without much expectation, but it was more enjoyable than I thought! I happened to get friendly with a Japanese couple I met in line, and we enjoyed the show together, which made for great memories.
However, there was a time when I struggled with severe drowsiness due to jet lag... Since it was such a special show, it might be a waste to incorporate it into a very tight schedule.
そんなに期待せずに行ったんですが
思っていたより楽しかったです!
たまたま列で一緒になった日本人のご夫婦と仲良くなって

ただ、時差ボケで途中ちょっとすごい眠気でつらかった時間帯が…。

The Fairwind crew is the best there is - I highly recommend them to any and all. We had so much fun with our Friday snorkel that we booked another on the following Tuesday. The food was outstanding and the instructions were great. The fish class was lots of fun. Case is a great guy and an excellent speaker to people of all ages. We were only on the Big Island for a week and the Fairwind snorkels were the best memories.......

My family and I totally agree that this was the best tour that we did while we were in Hawaii. A friend of mine had told me about the rays on the big island, but I totally didn't think that it was going to be that amazing. The crew members were really attentive and once we got into the water, it was like being in some alien planet with the rays around us and the plankton glowing under the lights. Doing this again if I ever get back to Hawaii!!!!

We signed up for a kayak tour in Japanese as a couple in our 50s. The owner and guide, Kevin, has a beautiful Japanese wife. Kevin used to be an English teacher in Japan, so he speaks Japanese well. His wife is said to be a former student of his.
Even if it's your first time kayaking, you'll be fine. You'll receive kind and thorough instruction, and then the two of them will guide you out to sea. With a stable sit-on-top kayak, there's no worry about capsizing, even for beginners. We could see whales spouting and raising their tails in the distance, and we also spotted sea turtles. There's a point where manta rays can appear, so it seems you might see them as well. We were told that if a large black shadow passes by, it's a manta ray, but we didn't see any that day.
The snorkeling revealed the beauty of the sea... Instead of going out on a big boat to see whales and dolphins, let's leisurely meet whales and sea turtles in a stable kayak. If you get better at paddling, they will guide you to even more amazing spots, so I think it's a good idea to sign up for two days.
Please experience the great nature that you can't enjoy on Oahu. It takes about 15 minutes and costs $20 by taxi from our hotel in Kona to the clubhouse.

As "first timers" to Oahu, the tour was perfect for us. Our driver/guide "Gar...Garfield" did an excellent job navigating the traffic of Honolulu and providing informative insights to many of the locations we saw on the tour. He had a unique perspective of the island, city and memorials from his background growing up as a native of this beautiful state.
The planning and execution of the tour allowed flexibility and diversity for the tour group.
Thank you for a great day on Oahu.

Despite taking motion sickness medication, I felt a bit nauseous on the way there. Two of my friends also got seasick.
Since swimming seemed tiring, I borrowed a float and went snorkeling. The water was cold, and the waves made me feel even more nauseous, but the clarity of the sea was amazing, and I could see deep down.
I was expecting colorful tropical fish (like Nemo), but instead, there were various medium-sized fish.
Both breakfast and lunch looked delicious, but I couldn't eat anything at all because I was feeling sick. I couldn't even drink anything, which was really disappointing.
The restroom was spacious, and since I changed right after getting out of the sea, I didn't feel cold.
On the way back, it was great to see a whale. I thought I would like to participate again next time.
酔い止めを飲んだにもかかわらす、行きにちょっと酔いました。友達2人も酔ってました。
泳ぐのも疲れそうだったので、浮き輪を借りてシュノーケルしました。水も冷たく、波でさらに酔っていいことなしだったのですが、海の透明度はすごくて深くまで見えました。
カラフルな熱帯魚(ニモみたいな)を期待していたのですが、それとは違っていろいろな種類の中くらいの魚がいました。
朝ごはん、ランチともおいしそうなものが並んでいましたが、酔っていたため全く食べれず。飲み物も飲めず。すごく残念でした。
トイレがひろく、海からあがってすぐに着替えたため、寒くはなかったです。
帰り、クジラがみれたのがよかったです。
次に行く時、もう一度参加したいと思いました。

A good show, we were sitting back by the food line and the sound was unclear. Several of us at the table were having difficulty hearing the varoius people on the stage talking, causing some of the dancing questionable such as the cowboy. The dance was very good but we didn't understand how it fit in until I did research.
A very good effort by all your people.
Some hard feelings by those standing for quite a while and then the prefered guest march in and are given the best seats. You need to find a better way to do that.

We participated as a couple at the end of November 2010.
On this day, it was just us and another couple.
First, we received a brief explanation at the office. The documents were written in Japanese, so I think you can understand the important points by reading them (there were no staff members who spoke Japanese).
And off we go!!
A large rubber boat. So exciting.
As soon as we left the harbor and entered the sea, dolphins started chasing the boat.
There were quite a large number of them, close enough to touch.
After a while, the boat went into full speed mode.
It was incredibly fast, and it felt truly refreshing.
Occasionally, the captain would stop the boat and explain various landmarks (in English).
At the final destination, we snorkeled for about an hour and a half.
Afterward, we were served drinks, fruits, and snacks, and we all talked about what fish we saw.
Then we sped back again.
On the return trip, the captain also guided us through various landmarks.
We were welcomed by dolphins again and returned to the harbor, concluding the trip.
The boat was just so much fun♪
I highly recommend trying it!!!

いざ出発!!
大きなゴムボート。わくわく。
ハーバーから海に出ると、早速イルカがボートを追いかけてきました。
結構な大群で、もう触れる位の距離です。
しばらくするとボートが本気モードで突っ走ります。
ものすごいスピードで、本当に気分爽快です。
ときどきボートを止めて、各名所をキャプテンが説明をしてくれます。(英語)
最終目的地で一時間半位のシュノーケリングをします。
終了後、ドリンク、フルーツ、スナックを出してもらい、
どんな魚をみたかなどを皆でお話しました。
そしてまた猛スピードで帰ります。
復路も各名所を案内してくれます。
そしてまたイルカに迎えられ、ハーバーに帰り終了です。
なにしろボートが楽しい♪

We participated as a couple on September 30, 2010.
On that day, there were many participants from a large ship, and we set off with a total of four boats! We were the only Japanese participants, and the boat we shared had couples from America, France, and Australia.
All the explanations were in English. Perhaps because there were so many participants, there were no Japanese pamphlets available. To be honest, I understood only about half of it, but it was such a fun tour that it didn't matter.
As soon as we departed, we sped up! Feeling the wind, we could enjoy the views of the mountains on the opposite shore, gaze at the sun and the horizon, and experience nature with our whole bodies.
Along the way, the female captain occasionally stopped the boat and humorously explained Hawaii's nature and history.
After some time, we arrived at the snorkeling point. Here, we could leisurely observe the coral and the yellow and black fish for about an hour and a half. Snacks and juice were provided during the break.
Oh, and we were thrilled to see dolphins both on the way there and back, as they jumped around the boat!
This is a highly recommended tour where you can enjoy a variety of experiences.

I made a reservation through HP.
At the last minute, I received an email saying that the meeting place would change due to the ship's schedule.
Indeed, during the week I was there, large ships were coming in every day, so it couldn't be helped.
There are two meeting places depending on the day of the week, so I hope everyone pays attention to where to go.
If it's at the pier, it's near the King Kamehameha Hotel, but the other location is about $25 by taxi from the King Kamehameha Hotel.
On this day, 11 people joined.
There were people from various countries.
The explanations are all in English, but we are given a Japanese instruction manual in advance. If you look at that, you'll understand the content.
Once we set off, we just let ourselves go and zoomed across the water in the boat. I think anyone can participate regardless of age or height.
Ah, it really felt like Hawaii with the beautiful water, mountains, and fresh air.
Before I knew it, we arrived at the snorkeling point.
Here, you can snorkel, eat, and take a break for about an hour and a half.
The fish in the sea are amazing!!!
You can swim with them.
You might also encounter dolphins.
Lunch and snacks were delicious.
You'll get sunburned, so please take enough sun protection.
You can join without thinking too much; it's super fun!
HPで申込みをしました。
間際で船の都合で、集合場所が変わるとメールがあった。

I've never kayaked before and thought this was fun. It was a little windy on the day we went out but that didn't hinder us at all except when it came time to see the cave. Only one or two boats braved this part. Get ready to climb up some lava cliffs (about 4 feet high) and then jump back in too. Hadn't done anything like that in awhile but found it to be fun and refreshing. I sit at a desk all day so this was awesome for me. The snorkeling was beautiful as usual in Hawaii so no disappointment there. Overall we had a great time!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this rafting trip. It was absolutely amazing! The staff were excellent. They even had an RX mask for me to use. Soon after departure we came across some pygmy killer whales and dolphins. The guide said it was rare that they hung around so long because if you see them they usually take a breath and leave but this pod stuck with us for over 10 minutes. Even saw some spinner dolphins swimming about 50 feet below the raft. They were moving fast but we could still see them. The guides took there time and allowed us to wait and watch. We all just soaked up the time. The snorkeling, at two different places, was fantastic! This was our first time in Hawaii and we were not disappointed. The crew at Sea Quest Ocean Rafting just made our trip even more memorable. Thanks guys because this trip was truly a blessing!
