Everything was perfect on our cruise. We were a group of family and friends and we were very fortunate to have had an evening of perfect weather. The food, the crew, the entertainment and the narrator could not have been better - an evening to remember.

I had the opportunity to go on a dinner cruise with my sister. We enjoyed not only cruise but all of the staff. They were so helpful, and accommodating. We also love the historian and we can’t say enough about the entertainment. He was amazing. I would highly recommend anyone attend this dinner cruise.

Aloha Peggy, Thank you for joining us on the Historical Sunset Dinner Cruise! You would not happen to remember the name of Historian or Musician from that night, would you? We would love to be able to give them a shout out for the amazing job they did! We believe credit should go where it is due, so if you happen to remember, feel free to send us an email as [email protected]. We hope everyone takes your recommendation to heart and joins us for a great time! Mahalo, Derek Williams @ Body Glove Adventures

The waves were very violent, partner was sick for the whole trip but management did not care when this fact was disclosed following the trip. They should have advised us before getting on board, but no due diligence. They just wanted money. Moreover, they said it was 0-1 size waves, which was an outright lie! You could not even really stand up. I would not recommend this cruise. The staff attempted to be nice, but it was a ruined excursion. Money over safety seemed to be their philosophy.

Aloha Betito Party, We're sorry you weren't aware that you and your wife were prone to sea sickness but here is a link to the video of your night on the boat with the "violent waves" in question (TripAdvisor wont let us post the URL but it is posted to our YouTube page). Please note the calm seas, happy guests, clapping, and the mention of dancing that will begin soon. Im glad you're not planning on joining us again, because you and your party are not welcomed aboard our vessel. You yelled the entire trip at our boat staff saying "I'm going to sue your a#%es off." After the trip you threatened our reservations staff and our Operations Manager as well, and lied about your wife falling down. After threatening your hotel concierge you even ended up with a partial refund. We hope you didn't treat the rest of the waiters, hotel staff, and tour operators with the same disturbing attitude you showed towards us during your vacation.
