We enjoyed this dinner cruise-a native Hawaii tour guide gave us a nice history of these areas, great crew members and wonderful music and beautiful sunset.

I loved taking a ride on this cruise-very knowledgeable native narrator pointing out the sites, and live music in between. The staff was amazing and attentive, and more then willing to help take pictures of you. A pod of dolphins saw us off, and the captain give us time to watch them. My husband said the food was good. I didn't eat much as I was suffering from a slight but of motion sickness. Still had a good time!

It is always so awesome to read when we are blessed with dolphins on any of our cruises! Seeing them jump and spin brings so much joy! We will be sure and share your review with our staff! Thank you for your kind words regarding the service you received. We hope to see you again some day soon! Best regards!

The term “dinner cruise” signifies an enjoyable, sit-down experience for all. While the boat ride, scenery and historical info were awesome, it was impossible to enjoy the overall experience due to eating a heavy red meat meal (no other options) outside on a bench while the boat was going at top speed.
