Great 😊 - The boat tour was awesome! Although it was too cloudy to watch the sun set, the ride was still awesome. We had views of the mountain side down the river. The caption had lots of facts about Hawaii and knowledge to share. The bartender had good drinks as well. No complaints, would do it again!

Beautiful sunset cruise - Very nice evening river/bay cruise. We enjoyed hearing about some history of the area and the river and current restoration efforts. We also appreciated how smooth and calm the river was! The bay was a bit more rolling, but that was only for the last 30-40 minutes, and the views were gorgeous. And the drinks were yummy too (Mai Tais and champagne for us). Snacks were Maui Onion chips, mixed nuts and cookies, which was fine for us since we ate dinner right before we boarded.

Great tour - Great tour. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Raining off and on but we were given umbrellas to use which really helped. Grotto was beautiful.

We enjoyed the sunset... - We enjoyed the sunset ride. While the weather wasn't cooperating for a clear sunset (driver can't do anything about this) we still enjoyed the ride. Would do it again.

Great tour! - Wendell and Mitchell did a great job. Even though it was cloudy and we did not see the sunset, it was a great boat ride. The views were great, along with the drinks and snacks! Would recommend!

Two hour tour - Check in was a little unorganized, but after that every thing was good. It would have been better if the snacks were wrapped individually, drinks were good. Captain Solomon was fun.

Sunset - Great experience and loved the history. Just wish for the amount of money we could’ve went on the ocean. And not preventable but didn’t see sunset. Also we had someone with a severe nut allergy, so would’ve preferred having something else so that the nuts didn’t come into contact with other snacks or servers hands so we avoided getting drinks or a snack.

Great service, not so great location - The crew was very courteous and accommodating. The drinks and snacks were delicious! Unfortunately, I don’t feel like the location warranted a cruise. Departure and sunset watch location was near a shipping port, which naturally came with lots of beeping and shipping containers and not the vibe we were hoping for as an excursion for our honeymoon. Unfortunately, we were a little disappointed with the money we spent.
