It made completing the certification very easy to justify.<\/p>\n<p>The use of biodiesel for your vessels is highly impressive. I\u2019m sure many other sustainable tour operators would like to find out more information about how you implemented this practice.<\/p>\n<p>Loved the use of local food, including beef and kona coffee (grown on your farm). Very sustainable to take the food waste from tours and using it as in input for your farm. I also appreciate how you mention these practices on your website so guests can see why your company stands out compared to others. You could look to source more of your continental breakfast locally, as it seemed that most items came from Costco.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"mm-button-read-more\" href=\"#\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_half  avia-full-stretch flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_hr   \" style='background:url(https:\/\/www.sustainabletourismhawaii.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Dolphin-Excursions-colorful-fish-1030x580.jpg) center center no-repeat ; border-radius:0px; '><div class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-builder-el-14  avia-builder-el-no-sibling   avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><div class='avia-image-overlay-wrap'><img class='avia_image' src='https:\/\/www.sustainabletourismhawaii.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/fair-wind-cruises-Fair-Wind-Kealakekua.jpg' alt='fair wind cruises Fair Wind Kealakekua' title='fair-wind-cruises-fair-wind-kealakekua' height=\"300\" width=\"700\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
