Absolutely Amazing - We came to Kona to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary from Alaska. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful evening than the one we had. Beautiful scenery, lovely music, a lucky rainbow, spinner dolphins, flying fish and an incredible meal. We had an awesome sunset, it was just wonderful. The crew was awesome. If this was the only event we did, it was the best choice I could have made. My husband was thrilled with it.

Best Dinner Cruise - We have taken similar dinner cruises before, but this was the best well organized dinner cruise we have ever taken. From the time we boarded we were taken care of by a professional crew. The food was top notch. The bartender Bryn is fantastic and runs the bar well.

Awesome & different! - Cruise was awesome. Food was great and a good size portion. Drinks were amazing besides the price per after the free one but cant complain. Views were amazing and the music was good. If you get motion sickness easily then id avoid this cruise as we saw a few people get sick. All in all the crew was awesome and friendly with lots of energy. We would definitely do this again

Outstanding sunset dinner and history cruise. - Great sunset cruise with history, music and dinner included. The ship is large and comfortable with room for everyone to have a great view. Drinks were great and the dinner was very tasty—both quite frankly much better than I was expecting. The real stars on this cruise, however, are the people. The crew was incredible. I’d name names but I can’t remember any. ALL of them were friendly and helpful. Whether delivering food and drinks, taking pictures for guests, or just helping people walk about the ship, every crew member we met embodied the spirit of Aloha and helped make the cruise special. In addition, the on-board historian was very knowledgeable and offered interesting historical insights during the cruise down to Kealekekua Bay. There was also live music to add to the occasion. We especially enjoyed the Hawaiian melodies throughout the first part of the voyage. We would have preferred more of that on the return leg instead of pop dance music, but perhaps that’s just us. Sunset on the water was spectacular and we had the added bonus of seeing an almost full moon shimmering in Kailua Bay. Oh, and I almost forgot, we got to see spinner dolphins frolic alongside the boat. Pit it all together and this trip is one I can highly recommend and may do again in the future.

Excellent sunset dinner cruise - The whole cruise was amazing. From all the history we were told and site we could see from the boats, to Captain Cooks Monument, then the amazing sunset on the ride back. The dinner was really good as well. The crew was very nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend everyone go.

Great cruise. Must do. - This cruise was a highlight during our week visit to the Big island. All of the crew were professional and very accommodating. The food exceeded my expectations. The captain was very open and willing to answer questions. I learned many lessons about the area. Thank you to all. I would do this again 100%. Also the sunset was amazing.
