Top Big Island of Hawaii Nature and Wildlife

"We loved seeing the Dolphins and had a wonderful time. The boat ride was fun and the scenery was amazing."

"There were six of us, three generations. Everyone had an incredible experience. Micah and Alii were excellent and taught us a lot about the dolphins and about areas of the coast.Would definitely recommend it for all ages. Definitely swam with and among the dolphins and had excellent snorkeling as well.Whales, too. Hard to beat!"

"Amazing experience snorkeling with the dolphins. We saw so many dolphins and even got to see a Hawaiian Monk Seal! Chad was so nice and gave us great information! Truly one of the best experiences of my life."

"Highly recommended and amazing experience. Even with kids. We went as a family of 5 incl 3 boys aged 6, 8 and 11."

"Mike did a great job, very informative about the whole island, not just your sites. The lunch and dinner we're good and we are at some unique places."

"We had a great time on the luxury snorkeling and dolphin adventure! The crew was great! They had a small breakfast spread which was nice and beers and cocktails. The snorkeling spot was amazing!"

"Extremely interesting look at specifics of Hawai’i and its geology and wildlife with a focus on birding. The hike through the forest was especially fascinating and challenging."

"We had never experienced so many dolphins in one setting. Over the coarse of an hour, we were able to see and swim with dozens of dolphins. The crew did an incredible job pinpointing where the dolphins were running to make the most out of the morning. The captain and crew were very helpful and worked to make sure everyone aboard fully enjoyed the experience."

"Such a great experience. Crew was kind, fun, and informative. We even got to see spinner dolphins and a manta ray!"

"Best guide with so much knowledge and enthusiasm. She was helpful and personable. The park was spectacular and a great trip."

"Definitely worth every penny! The crew was so polite and helpful. The boat was clean and food was great! We saw dolphins, manta rays and hundreds of fish. The water is incredibly clear, it was gorgeous! I really loved this experience."

"Loved our Captain Zodiac tour with Chuck and Elliot. It was a great trip from the time we signed up. Arrived at the office to find a very friendly lady to help us out. The tour itself is more of an adventure option than a lazy sail and we loved it for that reason. Chuck and Elliot were knowledgeable and SO easy going, making sure everyone had a great time. Captain Cook snorkeling was amazing. I have never seen such a variety of fish and got to see the many dolphin close by. Other folks on our boat were on their second trip out! Kudos to that team. We look forward to seeing you again!"

"They were great! Had a wonderful time. Very knowledgeable and interesting. Let us know all about the culture. The kayaking was fun but the snorkeling was extremely enjoyable. Had a lot of fun with the boys."

"Our 2nd snorkel trip with Fait Winds. Check in very easy. Excellent service, clean and sanitary vessel, very knowledgeable crew with a great sense of humor. The snorkel equipment is very easy to use and very comfortable. This tour does not disappoint. Thank you everyone!"

"Mark, our guide was pleasant and very knowledgeable. Informative tour. Fun to learn about the different plant growth@topography, climbing thru the tube, the crater, the views. Great Mid level private hike. Highly recommend."

"Extremely friendly and hospitable group. Very knowledgeable tour guide. Even shared pics. Came to Hawaii to escape the stresses of my job. Paddling a canoe in the ocean among the dolphin was a start."

"We had a great time snorkeling on this adventure. What a super and educational trip. I recommend this to everyone."

"The ocean was blue, the sun shinning, it was a perfect day. The crew was fantastic. It was awesome to snorkel at two different locations. This was one of our favorite outings."

"THIS was such a fulfilling excursion! Our tour guide and driver, Gary couldn't have been a better guide! On the ride to the Kohala Waterfalls he made sure to point out and educate us all on the geology of the land, the fauna and flora of the land, as well as the full history of King Kamehameha and was wonderful about answering everyone's questions! Once we got up to the trail he made sure we all had what we needed to comfortably make the journey. The private hike throughout the forest as well as the private waterfall swim was an unforgettable experience. Once we finished the hike and swim we boarded the van again and Gary took us to a second private location to have lunch. The view was unbelievable and lunch was delicious! My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better excursion! We are so appreciative!"

"We actually went the last day of the season, but Simon, our Captain, Marta, and Adam our experience was still amazing! We seem what we figure was just one female, and possibly a baby. For us Emden seeing Flukes and the Spouts was Great."

"This was a very exciting adventure. A must to put on you bucket list. The guide was very knowledgeable."

"The BEST!!!! They were very personable and a lot of knowledge and information about everything. They went above and beyond to help my 74 yr. old mother! The greatest experience we have had!!! We would recommend that you go with them....you won’t be disappointed."
