I cannot recommend this cruise more! My friend (who lives on the island) loves to take people on this dinner cruise and I can see why. First off, the people who run the cruise are amazing. From Evan the bartender, Jeremie the captain, Derrick and Chelsea, we were treated so well by each of them. They made sure we were taken care of and never wanted for anything (the whole crew was amazing, there are names I forgot, but they deserve praise as well). Arllen, our historian, was funny and engaging and made sure we learned about his beautiful island. And his stories were so interesting! I know he wrote a book so I’m excited to read it. And then there was Kalima, the singer and performer. His voice was gorgeous and I almost cried when he sang during the sunset. He made the boat magical with his music. Bring cash so you can buy his CD! We got to see dolphins and manta rays, as well as different historical sites that are important to Hawaiians. You cannot go wrong booking this cruise, I will be going back again and again when I’m on the big island. Not to miss!

Great cruise! The food was delicious and plentiful. There was good live music, and the narrator was knowledgeable! Each time we visit Kona we take this cruise.

We decided on the dinner cruise as it took in the scenery and sunset 🌅 all the way to the lovely Kealakekua Bay and the Captain 👩‍✈️ Cook monument. What great staff and live music all the way. It was a lovely cruise and would recommend this to everyone
