I enjoyed the cruise to the Captain Cook Monument. Great view of Kailua-Kona Bays. Lots of spinner dolphins to see off our catamaran. The breeze off the waters were very refreshing. Very good bar and good meal. If there are any motion sickness issues with some guests, I'd recommend sitting in front of the boat where your vision and equilibrium are best.

Great cruise, a bit rocky, but perfect weather and great cheesecake! Lots of history on the way there and lots of music on the way back. We even were blessed with a few dolphins! Thanks to captain and crew!

This was the only excursion we paid for during our vacation, and it was well worth it. We really enjoyed the historical information shared, and the live music was fantastic. My husband and I both thought the food was great. The crew really seemed to enjoy their jobs and interacting with the guests. We were lucky enough to see two pods of dolphins on our return! I was also pleasantly surprised at how clean the boat (and bathroom) was. If you're looking for a classy, professional cruise with a wonderful view, look no further!
