We had a wonderful time on the dinner cruise which is narrated and goes along the coast to Captain Cook bay and back to Kailua. The catamaran handles the seas and wind really well. The crew was great and worked with each other like a smooth machine to provide everyone a great time. The food was very good. Dinner includes one drink--this is not a booze cruise with unlimited included drinks, so don't expect that. Other drinks, beer, etc are available for reasonable prices and the staff are constantly checking and serving you. You do not even need to leave your seat. The narrator gives local history and points out places of historical interest. Live music was provided the entire time with beautiful acoustic guitar. We spoke with Scott Conroy at the Body Glove kiosk near Huggo's restaurant and he was very helpful with info on times, location of the boat, and recommendations on where to sit. Get to the line early. Sitting on the upper deck on the left side facing the shore is the best seating for the narrated tour and the sunset viewing. The crew makes sure everyone has a great sunset view, offers to take your pictures for you and points out any dolphins or other life forms in the ocean. The trip is not cheap, but compared to other dinner cruises we have been on in the islands this was one of the best and the crew made it a fun time.
