Awesome Sunset Cruise - We enjoyed a wonderful sunset cruise with Captain Zander and crew Tyler, Josh and Nicole! They made the experience so much fun and were very kind and funny. It was a highlight of our trip to the Big Island of Hawaii and I highly recommend going with them for any of your adventures.

So beautiful and relaxing - This trip was so fun and we were well taken care of. We set sail off the beach and were served with drinks and snacks galore as we rode up the coast line towards sunset. The ride was relaxing and not bumpy! Must do!

Wife's birthday sunset cruise - The crew was extremely knowledgeable and hospitable. We had an amazing trip on the Spirit of Aloha. I don't know how, but more seating would be a plus. The drinks, food and views were top notch. Mahalo Nui Loa to the captain and his crew of deckhands!

Captain marvelous. Crew members were on point with directions and services - Hospitality was excellent. The food, snacks and drinks were delicious. Truly nice experience. Would definitely recommend. It's a short beach walk for some and not for anyone who cannot walk a distance.

Sunset - This sunset cruise was the highlight of our trip to Mauna Kea! The views were absolutely breathtaking. The crew was welcoming and attentive, sharing fun local insights throughout the sail. It was the perfect mix of adventure and scenic beauty—highly recommend for couples or anyone looking to soak in the magic of Hawaii from the water.

Not as advertised. - So disappointed! We went on the Mauna Kea sunset cruise tonight. Crew is nice and friendly. Boat is pretty and comfortable. However, the crew needs to read the advertising! Advertising shows a light supper of multiple sandwiches, fruit, and cookies. What we were actually offered was a bag of potato chips. Complementary drinks are from Walmart. Advertising on the website talks about scenic cruising, we had no commentary at all about what we were passing by. The ocean was very rough and the waves were actually scary. That was probably beyond their control. I was so glad when it was over.

Two days of last minute cancellations and horrible customer service - Because of their last minute cancellations, we ended up having to rearrange 3 days of our vacation to accommodate their rebookings. Both of the sunset cruises that we booked, were canceled after we, and other guests, arrived at, or were on our way to the dock. Some guests were stranded. The best the company could do for us was an offer of a daytime cruise at 10% discount. The whale watching trip that we ended up taking was underwhelming. We also found out that they regularly offer 20% discounts. So between the awful customer service, and the rearrangement of our days for them, we can’t recommend them.
