Our favorite excursion of our trip. We had a fantastic crew. The meal was delicious, our seating was perfect to give us a view of the beautiful sunset and we even got to see a few whales. Highly recommend.

A romantic evening on the water

Xena_H, Mar 2023

The whole experience was great! Captain Andrew and his crew were all friendly and fun to chat with. We saw some whales and had a blast! The food was delicious, my boyfriend and I both ordered the shrimp dinner. The drinks were good too, we both really liked the Hula Girl cocktail. 10/10 would recommend doing this cruise!

Sunset whale watching cruise

CHRISTINE_G, Mar 2023

We went in the PREMIUM Dinner Cruise ( Four Course Dining Experience) from Lahaina. I loved the sunset! The whales were active. So that was nice. Lots of fun and tail slapping, rolling bodies, and a few breaches. The food was tasty, just not enough to be worth the money spent. I would expect more from the dinner. We had the shrimp and there were only 6 small shrimp, a few carrots, and a scoop of poi. The small salad was just too small. The bread was tasty but again not as big as your fist. The staff were helpful and cheerful. The captain was informative and skillful. The drinks were watered down to where you weren’t sure what you were drinking. They were very limited on what types of alcohol they served.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Aloha and thank you for coming out on our Sunset Dinner Cruise. Although it is not sold as a Sunset watch watching cruise, I am so happy to hear that the our visiting humpback whales. I am so sorry that although you felt the food was tasty, that the portions were not enough for you. That hasn't been a common complaint, but we always trying to make it right when expectations are not met. You can certainly contact me directly at johngaskins@pacwhale.com to discuss a partial refund as we want all of our guests to feel that they received fair value for their experience. I look forward to hearing from you.

Dinner cruise fun

Roger_H, Mar 2023

We had a great time the staff was wonderful. We got to see a whale, flip his tail. It was a lot of fun

Great sunset cruise.

Leta_R, Mar 2023

The crew was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the ocean life and answered many questions. The sunset was beautiful and the food was delicious.

Excellent service and staff but ..........

Lorna_E, Mar 2023

Fantastic staff and service but for the cost of this dinner cruise, food was not very good, which was really disappointing. I hate to leave a negative review but for the price you're paying, the food should be excellent. Still had a good time though and saw some whales.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Aloha Lorna and thank you for providing your feedback about your disappointing experience. Although our dinner cruise is highly popular, your experience obviously wasn't up to our standards and I thank you for bringing it to our attention. We always want customers to have an enjoyable experience and feel that they received fair value. When that doesn't happen, we step up. Please reach out to me directly at johngaskins@pacwhale.com so I can determine what vessel and date you were on to process a refund. I look forward to hearing from you.

I Didn’t Pay For Hair

Nobody_J, Feb 2023

Great Views but! Got Served A Terrible Glass Of Lemonade That Went Sour🤮 When Salas Came Out Had Hair On The Plate,Communicated With Server & Wasn’t Even Accommodated For That 2nd Was Served My Entree Which Was The Shrimp Which Also Had Hair On The Shrimp🤷🏽‍♀️ Wasn’t Accommodated For That Either- But However My GF Got Sick Off Her Shrimp She Tried To Eat 🤢 As So Many Others Did As Well As The Captain Wanted To Chase Whales Instead Of Bringing It In Once The Whole Shindig Was Supposed To Be Complete! Wasn’t The Actual Anniversary Dinner I Was Expecting I Paid For 🤷🏽‍♀️ Wouldn’t Recommend To Anyone I Suggest You Go Elsewhere For Your Dinner Cruise Cause This 1 Isn’t It!💯 Sincerely A Very Disappointed Customer

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Aloha and thank you for bringing your poor experience to our attention. This is a highly rated dinner cruise, so although this sounds like an outlier incident, you never should have had hair on any of your plates. And although my favorite entree is the shrimp and have never been disappointed, but that obviously wasn't the case with your friend.. It is our goal that all customers have enjoyable experience with us and we always try to make it right when that doesn't happen. Please reach out to me directly at johngaskins@pacwhale.com, so I can figure out when you went out and process a refund. I thank you for providing your feedback and look forward to hearing from you. Mahalo!

Maui best dinner cruise

Jeff_P, Feb 2023

We have been on several different dinner cruises and this way by far the best. We had our private table as did everyone else. The food was good and the crew was very friendly. Will definitely use them in the future

Could have been a romantic experience.

Troy_T, Feb 2023

Had a great time. Shrimp dinner was very good. Crew was knowledgeable and attentive. Only reason for a four star review was that the cruise should not allow kids under 4, not just to provide food for those under 4. We had a screaming kid right behind us which does not make for a romantic experience.

Great Time

RedBadger, Jan 2023

Great time saw lots of whales. Food was good and staff was excellent. If you want to see whales January is a good months to come.

The dinner was excellent....

vanessa_j, Dec 2022

The dinner was excellent. The drinks were perfect. We took nice pictures. We really enjoy the evening .

A must do when in Maui!!!

Charmaine_M, Nov 2022

Amazingly great experience!!! Food was fantastic and service was exceptional!! Captain even led a happy birthday song for my son who was celebrating his golden bday!!! We loved it and will do it again on our next trip to Maui!!

Great evening

Evan_W, Nov 2022

The food and staff were wonderful. Would definitely recommend to others and will be back on the next trip the Maui.

Not worth the price

Ava_D, Nov 2022

Bumpy ride, food not good but the drinks and staff were good. Wouldn't spend the $$$. Recommend trying another dinner cruise.

My journey on waters of Pacific Ocean

Meenakshisundar_S, Nov 2022

Memorable experience of our Hawaii trip. We received 5 star customer service, crew members are friendly and respectful . Excellent appetizers, main course meal and drinks. Love the experience.

Great tour!

Gradine_B, Oct 2022

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride and the meal was great….steak dinner for both of us. The crew was very friendly and attentive!

Average evening boat ride

Melissa_L, Oct 2022

It was ok for what it was. I would have preferred a more lively experience. If you are simply looking to sit and eat while watching the sunset then cruise around in the dark than this is for you. This company has a nonprofit that helps with whale conservation so that was a plus.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you so much for coming out on our sunset dinner cruise and providing your feedback about the experience. I'm sorry to hear that it didn't quite meet your expectations and would be happy to discuss a partial refund if you feel that is warranted. We always want our guests to enjoy their experience with us and try to make it right when that doesn't happen. I can be reached at johngaskins@pacwhale.com.

Not worth it.

Jazmin_V, Oct 2022

Disappointing experience not worth the cost. The food was mediocre. No music on the boat. And the boat was different than the one advertised. The service was good, the crew tried their best.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback about your recent dinner cruise experience. I'm sorry to hear that it didn't meet your expectations on the food and the vessel (the one you were on is our newest), although we don't promote live music on this tour. We do, however, want everyone to feel that they received fair value and try to make it right when that isn't the case. Please reach out to me directly at johngaskins@pacwhale.com so I can process a partial refund. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time.

Very nice staff attempting to help us in a medical emergency…

strawjohn, Oct 2022

Actually had to cancel the tour do to a medical emergency and my wife was ambulanced to the Maui Memorial Hospital right after the time of your departure. It was very kind of them to provide us a full refund and offer her a glass of ice water when things went bad. We will definitely book the same exact tour if we can come back to beautiful Maui one day. This could have been the highlight of our entire 41st anniversary vacation if we had been able to attend. Thank you again for your help in a very stressful time.

How to save money 💰

Toby_B, Oct 2022

Pricey for what you receive. No entertainment. Would rather eat at a high end restaurant and save $150. Plantation is 10x the atmosphere with live entertainment and spectacular views!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't feel you received fair value for your investment. We obviously want everyone to have an amazing time and try to make it right when that doesn't happen.

Legacy sunset dinner cruise

Susan_Y, Oct 2022

Sunset and beautiful vessel. Seas were calm and service was great. Check in was easy and directions to the departure area was easy to follow as well. Picture boarding a great idea and for a good cause.
