Fairmont Orchid is adjacent to the award-winning Francis H. I'i Brown Golf Course, offering 36 holes of continuous play, and is consistently lauded as one of the world's top golf resorts by readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine. The courses have two distinct 18-hole complexes, the south and north course, each capturing unique characteristics of the Hawaii Island landscape. Both courses will satisfy every level, appealing to the recreational golfer and ready to be tightened up to meet the demands of tournament play.

A unique and exclusive adventure deep in the historically rich and verdant mountains of Kohala. There you will explore the much storied Kohala Ditch, a 110 year old system of hand-wrought tunnels, elevated flumes, and concrete channels that once supplied millions of gallons of fresh water to the vast sugar cane plantations of Kohala.

Come join our crew aboard Winona’s spacious 50’ deck for a sailing and snorkeling adventure. While motoring to one of our secluded snorkel sites along the Kohala Coast, our helpful staff will provide instructions and then equip you with all you need for a spectacular snorkeling experience. Once you’re geared up for snorkeling, we’ll lower our “Stairway to the Sea” directly into the ocean for easy access. Our healthy reefs offer hundreds of species of fish, graceful sea turtles and a variety of marine life for you to explore. View boards with windows for the non-snorkeler are also available. For you sunbathers in the group, you are free to lounge on board and soak in some rays while our staff serves up cold drinks and snacks. Alcohol will be served to those who are done with snorkeling and swimming for the day.
