Big Island vacation George - A great experience for the entire family. I would choose to do the sunset cruise when traveling to Hawaii again.

Great time! - This was a relaxing time out on the boat with drinks and a full delicious meal! Started raining at the ends, but didn’t dampen the experience. Would do it again!

Fun time, excellent crew, tasty drinks! - Excellent crew — super personable and helpful! Dinner was good (served in a takeout container with plastic forks) — a teriyaki chicken with white rice and fresh salad. Great drinks with lots of options. It was neat to see them set up the sails. Only disappointing thing is that we didn’t really sail much, just into the bay and kind of sat there. Not sure if that’s normal, or if it was extra wavy that day? There was a time that the captain turned on the motor to keep the boat more stable (it was a bit wavy) and that was appreciated. There was also a rain shower that was creeping up to us and he made sure to stay ahead of it so we could stay outside, and that was also appreciated. Several people did get sick, but that’s with ANY boat trip! Be sure to take your Dramamine, etc. if you are indeed prone to sea sickness; the people who got sick did not take any, while the people that did take it did not get sick. The boat was spacious for the 22 passengers with lots of places to sit. We saw 4 or 5 bottlenose dolphins literally about 5 feet from the boat which was fantastic! Overall we had a great time.

Wonderful cruise and fantastic captain - We had a wonderful experience with Captain Michael and his crew. The voyage was fantastic and every member of the family had a blast. A particularly thanks to the captain because we missed the originally scheduled trip as we were stuck in Captain James Cook Monument and driving back took us over an hour. Nevertheless, Captain Michael actually waited for a quite sometime before giving up. And he also let us change the schedule to the following day.

Rainbows and Dolphins!! - 10/10 experience!! We were expecting a larger group but it ended up being much more intimate with just two other people. Our guides found us a pod of dolphins AND a rainbow!! Would highly recommend.
