Big Island, Hawaii

A Scenic Journey and Snorkeling Adventures for the Whole Family on the Big Island, Hawaii for Six Days & Five Nights at the Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii in a Suite for Two Adults and Two Children, Including Your Choice of a Snorkel by Wild Dolphins Tour or a Nighttime Manta Ray Adventure (Land Only)

Warm your soul with new memories yet to be made throughout your stay at this gorgeous luxury Hawaiian resort! Nestled on 32 oceanfront acres, the island oasis of The Fairmont Orchid offers you everything you need to make your stay in Hawaii one to remember, from succulent dining to tranquil accommodations, an award-winning 45-hole championship golf course, and blissful luxury in all the details. During your stay in paradise, make time to enjoy the wonders of Hawaii with your children, including choosing between a snorkeling tour with either wild dolphins or manta rays!

The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii offers guests an exotic blend of the essence of Aloha with the relaxed, tropical spirit that is Hawaii. The resort's oli (Hawaiian song) speaks to the aromatic fragrance of laua?e (fern) and puakenikeni (flowers), of ocean spray at Pauoa Bay and the beckoning coconut trees. Centered within the safety of four dormant volcanoes (Hualalai, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea on Hawaii Island and Haleakala on Maui) and the impressive Kohala mountain range to the north, the resort and spa blend elegance, comfort and Hawaiian style that captures the mana (power) of the island. The Big Island, regarded as the pinnacle of playgrounds, a land of uncommon beauty, startling diversity, and welcome weather, has much to offer the spirited traveler. Beachside, you'll meet the native Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles that bask on the shoreline every afternoon. Or discover island-style fun and culture as you paddle an outrigger canoe, hike through the largest petroglyph field in the Pacific, learn to weave a coconut leaf basket and so much more guided by the Orchid Beachboys. Your one bedroom suite offers luxurious accommodations with expansive views and a private lanai. A private bedroom closes off from the living room with French doors and includes a spacious marble bathroom with separate shower and bathtub and a water closet. The suite also features two large closets and a sectional sleeper.

For an exhilarating and intimate dolphin watching experience, join this small group snorkeling adventure tour! Board a RIB Zodiac Speed Boat that takes up to 14 guests maximum for an adrenaline-pumping ride out to where the dolphins are swimming. The boat rides low in the water, ensuring everyone an up-close and personal view, and easy access for everyone will be able to slide off at once to ensure you get the opportunity to snorkel with dozens of wild dolphins! All snorkeling gear, snacks, and drinks are provided.

A manta ray night snorkel is a must do when you're in Hawaii, a once in a lifetime opportunity to see giant manta rays up close as they feed and interact with other ocean creatures under neon lights! Led by a local guide, you'll take a short cruise out to the manta site, where you'll watch the beautiful Hawaiian sunset before dipping into the water to observe the beautiful manta rays gliding through the water - a truly memorable and magical moment! All necessary equipment will be provided for your excursion, as well as light refreshments and snacks to enjoy on board.
