Male whales fight for love - It was the greatest trip of the vacation. Whales were everywhere and the sunset was amazing. We had such an incredible view and the crew was top notch.

Cocktail cruise - It was a wonderful experience. We were able to see a lot of whales. Fun crew! Drinks and food were great! I would go again. You do have to take your shoes off and walk through the water to get in the boat. Also, there are some great beanbags up front. You need to be the first ones in the boat or the kids take all the beanbags. People should be asked to rotate times so everyone can enjoy.

Best service and quality of food and drink - I went with my two kids, ages 7 and 10, and the crew were so friendly. This cruise was really well organized, they made amazing drinks and the food was delicious (far better than I was expecting). Would highly recommend!

Amazing time! - The staff was amazing--attentive, kind, and fun. The cruise was comfortable, gorgeous, and festive. This sunset cruise (and whale watching!) was a highlight of our family trip to Maui (3 adolescents/young adults and parents). We lucked out with live music, and the musician just added to the festive atmosphere. The drinks and apps were good--but it's all about the sunset!

Sunset Cruise - Admit I was disappointed with this experience compared to a very similar cruise we had with an Oahu company. This felt much like a party boat. There was little attempt by the crew to interact with guests. I recognize that people have different wants for these types of cruises but felt like I could be on a sunset cruise anywhere. It would have been nice to have some information about the islands, some more Hawaiian music and a bit of a more genuine crew interaction. My Mai Thai did not taste of any alcohol whatsoever. We did see several Whales which was great but overall a disappointing experience that i was really looking forward to with my family as they had loved the last one. I do commend the communication and check in process which as smooth and easy.

Sunset cruise review - Staff was partial. We didn't spend enough time watching whales (unlike other cruise operators) and instead the cruise operator decided to spend 40 mins just near the shore. Very unthoughtful. Vegetarian food had only one option whereas the non Vegetarian had 4-5 options.
