Fair Wind Cruises is a travel arrangements operator based in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, operating snorkel cruises on the Big Island's South Kona coast since 1971. Its core offering is daily departures from Keauhou Bay aboard the Fair Wind II, traveling to Kealakekua Bay, a protected marine sanctuary with calm conditions suitable for snorkelers of all levels, complemented by onboard features such as a 15-foot water slide and a high dive. For a more adventurous option, the Hula Kai provides faster trips to remote destinations using hydrofoil technology, with guests able to try Sea Rockets or Stand Up Paddle Boards during the voyage. The same vessel also hosts a nightly Manta Ray Snorkel, giving participants the opportunity to observe large manta rays in Kona's coastal waters.
