Best tour with all vegan foods! - Edit
I don't know where to start. The tours, the crew, the all vegan food on board, the experience, all fantastic!
Read moreI highly recommend anyone visiting Kona to buy tickets to their tour options. I did the morning snorkeling which was excellent and then the manta ray experience at night. They feed you homemade vegan food that is delicious. The owners are vegan based on what the crew members told me and they really care about the environment (i.e. they don't allow any type of sunscreen, only coral reef friendly, use of paper plates and metal silverware, and they advocate for sea life in their message during the tour)
Highly recommend them for an all vegan and eco-conscious experience.
Pros: Tours, All vegan food, Environmentally sustainable tour

All vegan excursion! - Edit
Fantastic all inclusive excursion with amazing food. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Great boat with restrooms, slides, and a high dive! Snorkeling was awesome - watched sea turtles and lots of fish. Saw dolphins and flying fish. Great commentary on history and culture. Would do this again!
Read moreAlso did the night manta ray snorkeling- this was amazing. Watching the plankton and having the manta rays swim right up by you was incredible. Plus hot soup and hot chocolate at the end.
Just love this company!
Pros: Vegan food, Bodiesel plant scrap powered, Very fun excursions

So much fun!! - Edit
We had such an amazing time on this cruise. The food was so good, the crew was so nice and friendly, and the snorkeling was so amazing. They give you lots of food too - breakfast, a giant lunch, and cookies coming back! Plus coffee and tea all trip. Highly recommend! It’s a must do!

A must do if in Kona - Edit
They take you to a snorkeling site by the Captain Cook monument and they provide vegan breakfast, lunch, and cookies. They also have a house made Hawaiian tea and coffee with plant milks. One of the best experiences on our trip, food was delicious and the snorkeling was incredible. The boat also has slides off of it as well as a high dive.

A snorkel tour company with great food! - Edit
The snorkel tour was great- two stops with a review of the cultural and historic happenings in the area before we got off the boat to see the fish, use the paddle board or just hang out in the water. I was super stoked to book this outing when I saw the plant-based menu. They have a farm up the mountain from the marina where they grow the food they serve on the boat. It was explained that the company wants to decrease its carbon footprint. The food turned out to be as delicious as it sounded and super filling. The warm cookies on the way back to the marina were delicious.
Read morePros: Nod to local produce and culture, reef-safe sunblock provided, knowledgeable and friendly staff
Cons: Absolutely nothing!

Great snorkeling experience - Edit
We’ve all been there: we’re excited to spend the day out on the water, seeing all the beautiful sea creatures as we snorkel. Then we hop back on the boat, and the only options for sustenance are a ham sandwich and nacho doritos. Not here!
Read moreKind staff, a nicely-sized boat, and a yummy breakfast and even better lunch really make this stand out as a highlight from my Hawaii trip! I will admit, I have seen better, less-crowded snorkeling spots, but I still really enjoyed the overall experience. Lots of non-vegan folks do this tour as well, and apparently don’t know that the food is vegan. Makes for some funny overheard conversations.
One annoyance: hearing people talk about not eating the plant-based food. One plus: hearing people go “the pulled pork is vegan? no way!”
Pros: Vegan and eco-conscious, Kind staff, Waterslides and equipment
Cons: Expensive tour

Great food and Amazing Snorkeling - Edit
What a exciting find! A 100% plant-based menu on a snorkel boat. Breakfast was Kona coffee and tea with 2 choices of plant based milk, overnight oats in coconut milk with dried and fresh tropical fruit, and banana bread. Lunch was BBQ jackfruit and Chickpea salad sandwiches, potato and green salads, and homemade cookies! The staff was so helpful and friendly and the trip to Kealakekua bay the best snorkeling I’ve ever seen in HI! Highly recommend!

Friendly staff - Edit
Snorkeling at Captain Cook is the best spot we have ever been to. This is our third time on the Fair wind because of their friendly staff, great equipment and ease of getting into water. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that they are now exclusively vegan with all food options. The jackfruit barbecue sliders and mac nut chocolate chip cookies were the standouts. Even heard a nonvegan exclaim that if someone cooked like this for him all the time he would be vegan. #Veganuary
Read morePros: Great for beginner snorkelers, Got to sample all dishes. All were good. , Make all of their own dishes

Kona Coast Snorkel Tour - Edit
As advertised, 100% plant based vegan food, drinks and desserts. All of it was amazing! It seemed like most people on board didn’t realize that it was all vegan and the crew didn’t say much about it. They also are eco-conscious and used only reusable plates, cups, and utensils, nothing disposable.
Read moreHighly recommend this company, the snorkel tour and definitely the food!

Great boat, great food - Edit
All vegan boat excursion? Yes please!
Read moreFirst, the food: Muesli, Banana Bread, Jackfruit sliders, Chickpea sandwiches, Ulu and Sweet Potato Salad, and more! Totally vegan. Totally delicious. Best tasting large-boat-tour food I've ever had.
The Boat: It's a big boat that accommodates a lot of people, but there's plenty of room to stretch out. Everyone has a seat. They have water slides, high dive, and snorkel gear. Great for a family or group. Nice staff, too.

Vegan boat tour! - Edit
I read an irritated review in a guidebook about this company “forcing you to be vegan” and it sounded too good to be true! Thankfully, the book was correct and this boat serves all vegan food aboard their boat. They do a great job of it too, with a nice variety of fresh food, including bbq jackfruit sliders, chickpea salad sliders, fresh fruit, potatoes, and some other vegan yummies. Friendly staff to boot. Highly recommend!
