Traveller Tips

Sweater/jacket was necessary, as it got cooler during the ride.

There is a ladder if you want to sit on the second floor but the first floor has beautiful tables.

Amazing evening

Ronald_H, Apr 2023

Great evening seeing gorgeous ocean and coast. Staff very attentive. Sit close to speakers on upper deck to hear the historical commentary. Dinner was surprisingly delicious.

Romantic time, chance to talk to your babe or dude.

CHARLES_H, Mar 2023

The open ocean with my babe. I wanted to surprise her for our sixth year anniversary and she was totally oblivious. Thanks for helping me make her beyond happy. Dudes. I won a point in the husband category. She straight up said I was spontaneous. I count that as a win!

Great family experience.

Chris_T, Mar 2023

Everything was great and recommend for a nice relaxing evening. Dinner was absolutely great and our family enjoyed the experience. We even got lucky and saw a school of dolphins playing in the bay for a bit. Great experience!

Birthday memories

Todd_M, Mar 2023

This was a surprise for my wife for her birthday. The boat was a perfect size. Food and drinks were awesome. Didn’t expect to also get a history lesson as we sailed along, was very interesting and informative. We were also lucky enough to have a pod of dolphins follow us for awhile. Fantastic memories were definitely had by all

Amber_E, Mar 2023

Great service, really good food. The historical info was great, and it was pleasant overall. I would go again.

Not as luxurious as...

Katie_S, Mar 2023

Not as luxurious as pictures offer. Overall we enjoyed the experience but not worth $140 a person. prepare for whipping wind and small portions of food.

Hawaii sunset & dinner cruise

Victor_O, Mar 2023

Spectacular dinner and music… lots of fun. Definitely saved a lot of time since it would’ve been a 4 mile hike to see the Captain Cook monument. The dolphins put on quite a show, almost as if they were trained. The sunset was phenomenal. Loved it!

Party with friends

Dawn_S, Mar 2023

Was a great time with lots of history. We had a sweet time. We made a lot of friends with the other people on cruise.

Great Time. Would highly recommend.

James_P, Mar 2023

Great time for all but…it’s in the open ocean. People need to realize it’s not a lake and motion sickness is a real thing. Take Meclazine, keep your eyes on the horizon and enjoy the trip. The meal was great,the staff was great. All around good time.

Highly recommend

ninaanderson, Mar 2023

Excellent historical narrative by a native of the islands. The staff was excellent in terms of service and the food was delicious. We even saw a whale with her baby and flying fish and a manta ray! Beautiful sunset. Decent live entertainment.

Great last night on the island.

Don_B, Mar 2023

Meal was excellent, crew were efficient and engaging, entertainment was perfect for the occasion. Dolphins accompanied our boat for awhile. Would not change anything.

We had a great time! Great meal, history lesson, and the marine life came out for us, too. Staff is the best! We will be back on our next visit!

Excellent crew!

Adam_R, Feb 2023

We were worried about the weather and clouds, but it turned out to be a highlight of our 10 day trip. So many beautiful views and wildlife. The staff was so kind and welcoming. The captain was so much fun and let us enjoy the whales we saw. I hardly ate because i was enraptured by the island. But what i did eat, it was great. The beer was great too :) All this history and reflection on Hawaiian culture was really powerful and respected. I was really impressed with this aspect of the trip. It showed reverence for Big Island and this boat and its crew shined bright. despite the weather it was so awesome.
