The Hula Kai is a great trip. We have done the Fairwinds tours many times and this was our first snorkel cruise on the Hula Kai. The crew was awesome, the ride comfortable, and the snorkeling was great. This is the perfect size boat for a snorkel trip. Highly recommend.

My favorite snorkeling trip. I have been doing this trip for years. Very safe, comfortable ride. The crew is exceptional. Very informative, friendly, knowledgeable, kind. Breakfast was great. I am not vegan, all food served was vegan. Lunch was not so good. Abundance of food. Like mine I saw alot of it being thrown in the trash by other passengers. It would have been nice to have had a choice. I would do the snorkeling again, but not the lunch trip. Aloha

The whole trip was brilliant with a friendly and happy crew. Great breakfast and lunch. Clean facilities and the snorkel experience was brilliant. We were fortunate too with the weather. Lovely warm sunshine on flat sea conditions. Peter & Kay

We have been snorkeling with Fairwind every time we come to Hawaii and it never disappoints! By far the best tour on the Big Island! Don’t miss it!

This was a very professional and informative crew. Everything is well organized. The was amazing, the food was very tasty and the locations were great! You will not be disappointed by choosing a Fair wind snorkeling cruise.

This excursion is 5 stars! The crew was fantastic! The locations were amazing for snorkeling...lots of fish and the odd turtle. Along our tour the captain pointed out many scenic and historical places and gave us a little history about them. He also pointed out some dolphins swimming (we would have missed it) overall it was really well done including the food.

We had an amazing experience aboard the Fair Wind! The staff was extremely friendly and helped our kids get comfortable with their snorkel gear. We have kids that are 4, 7 and 10 year old and they all were able to explore the reef with the help of innertubes and life vests. They loved the water slides as well. The food was fresh and tasted delicious. We highly recommend!

Gabriela_M

Absolutely incredible experience! The team was so welcoming and fun. They’re very attentive to everyone and they have so many tools to make snorkeling comfortable for all. The food was delicious and perfectly timed to keep you energized throughout the trip. The amenities were great and worth the price. There’s a restroom, a very fairly priced bar and water. They have Gallons of reef safe sunscreen. The only thing you have to bring is yourself, a swimsuit and a towel!

Aloha, I once again took a friend on the wonderful "Hula Kai' snorkel adventure. As always, the experience is one of those "once in a lifetime's". For over 50 years I have been grateful and enjoyed my snorkelling adventures on the Fairwinds and then Hula Kai. This has always been for family and visiting friends the very best snorkelling experience on the Big Island. I had written a review in January regarding the food now served as family members missed the burgers and fresh fish. Now with deeper understanding we so appreciate the dedication the Fairwind owners have to preserving the environment.... sustainable agriculture...using local ingredients, fueling the boats only with biodiesel fuel.. With the compassion shown for over the years to those taking their snorkel adventures, the owners of the Fairwinds, Hula Kai realising the footprint too often harmfully placed on our precious Hawaiian Islands.. are also dedicated with compassion to protecting the the Hawaiian Islands, the environment ...utilizing local products and creating tasty food grown on the islands promoting this mission. I applaud them for their dedication. Thank you... The "BEST" snorkel experience while on the Big Island.
