Fair Wind Cruises review - a contest entry

state: state, Arizona/USA
Realname: Pat

items: Review of Fair Wind Cruises, Big Island, Hawaii: Fair Wind Cruises has the best snorkeling trip on the Big Island of Hawaii. My teenage son and I have cruised with them three times in the past five years, and each time was one of the main highlights of our vacation. They have many repeat visitors, for good reason. Fair Wind’s boat takes you to Kealakekua Bay, a marine sanctuary with warm, calm water and beautiful fish and coral. Their morning cruise is the best since you have more time in the water. They give you a continental breakfast on the way to the snorkeling site, and after snorkeling, they have grilled burgers and salad items for lunch. They have afternoon trips as well with lunch or snacks. There’s a water slide for the younger kids and they also have snuba and scuba.

In 2003 my son went scuba diving with Fair Wind and was quite pleased at the variety of marine life but said the dive master went a little too fast (he likes to go slow and stop frequently to look at things). Fair Wind has all the gear you’ll need and their crew is very professional, safety-conscious and friendly. Any time of year is a good time to vist Hawaii, but the ocean is a bit rougher in the winter than in the spring or summer. If you like to snorkel or want to try it, Fair Wind knows the best place to go and the best way to get there!

** note from Lisa: the Fair wind snorkel cruise is indeed one of the best in all the state. My husband and I have been on it several times. Here's an account of a time we swam with dolphins while on a Fair Wind cruise.
