We saw a manga ray and a school of spinner dolphins! The crew was amazing and took photos of everyone throughout the cruise.

We did the Captain Cook sunset dinner cruise and it was incredible. It's not cheap but the dinner was delicious and the service top notch. The crew was friendly, fun and attentive. Due to the weather we weren't able to make it to Captain Cook but got to catch flying fish, dolphins and even a couple humpback whales right off the front of the boat. Thank you to the crew, Captain, musician, historian and everyone for make this so amazing. Special shout-out to Channing who was so friendly and fun to chat with. Mahalo!!

Aloha N4938XPchristinan, We are delighted to read that you had such an incredible time with us on our Historical Sunset Dinner Cruise! Wow, how wonderful that your trip was blessed with flying fish, dolphin and Humpback Whales-triple score! While "Mother Nature" was uncooperative with the weather she sure delivered with site-delights! We are so honored to read that you experienced an amazing time with the effort of our entire team! We are very happy to share that you're giving Channing a special shout out! Thank you for joining us and for your kind words!

Excellent in every way. Dinner (short ribs, mashed potatoes, and spinach salad) was exceptional for this kind of thing. Historical narrative informative without being overbearing. Seeing humpback whales in November was an extraordinary gift!
