This was so much fun. Our hostess, Meilei (sp?) was wonderful - very attentive and approachable. We learned more from her during our side chats when we asked questions about the island and her experience. The atmosphere was great, good music, the food was delicious and the staff was really nice. We enjoyed the sunset and dolphins that surprised us with a little show. I recommend you arrive early as there aren’t enough tables for everyone and eating on a rocking boat with a plate in your lap is not very comfortable. Overall nice experience.

Aloha yohanadls, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We agree our Historian Maile is a wonderful! And, a surprise dolphin show is always a delightful treat! We have free parking at our Retail Shop in the Illima Court Shopping Center. Free parking is about a five minute walk to the Kailua-Kona Pier where we depart from. Our Captain Cook Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay begins boarding at 3:30 pm for a prompt 4:00 pm departure. Thank you for joining us and we hope to see you again sometime!
