Beautiful Kona coast vistas, attentive staff, delicious dinner and Sunset! - We enjoyed every minute of this dinner cruise! We left the Kailua Kona pier and several Dolphins swam near us which was a wonderful start. We followed the coast with a local guide describing the places along the shore. We also had a musician providing lovely Hawaiian music. Dinner included a salad, followed by Chicken, mashed potatoes, greens and a roll. Finally, a delicious cheesecake for dessert. We saw a beautiful sunset as we were heading back to the pier. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the cruise. This trip was amazing and one of the best things to do when visiting the island of Hawaii!

Awesome - The cruise was awesome! The food was delicious, the staff was wonderful, and the entertainment was great. We honestly weren’t expecting the food to be as good as it was, but we were pleasantly surprised! A few tips if you’re planning to go: If you want to sit on the lower level where there’s a larger eating area, arrive very early because those seats fill up quickly. We sat on the top level, which was also very nice, but we weren’t able to see the performer. We could hear him perfectly, though, and he was great! The boat ride itself was good. Unfortunately, the lady sitting next to me got seasick and started throwing up while we were eating dinner. It definitely wasn’t pleasant, but it was no fault of her own. They took her to the lower level, where hopefully she felt better. The drinks were good, the food was really delicious, and overall we had a wonderful time! Definitely glad we did it! 🚢🌴

The perfect dinner cruise - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. We were lucky it wasn’t full so we had plenty of space to roam around. The crew was great and they served a yummy dinner. Adam was our server and he was a lot of fun. This cruise includes it all - educational, a nice cocktail, yummy dinner, time to enjoy sailing and watching the sun set.

The legends and... - The legends and traditions of the Big Island really came alive thanks to the great narration. And the meal was way better than expected for a cruise like this. The very comfortable boat itself was clearly designed specifically for dinner cruises. A great, romantic or just educational cruise.

Save your money for something else - Cold basic chicken dinner that was pink inside the center, not worth the charge. Overall not worth it. Didn’t learn or see anything new
