It was a great dinner cruise! - We had the best dinner cruising experience thanks to Captain Stefan who speaks Japanese and is cool. It was the most memorable honeymoon ever on the last day of Hawaii! We would like to use it again for our big anniversary.

Cruise with the best sunset and atmosphere - I went on a sunset cruise! The view was really great and the time spent watching the sunset was pretty good. The buffet food was delicious and satisfying. Captain Stefan is very friendly and speaks quite a bit of Japanese, which gives me peace of mind. The service was polite and comfortable. It was fun to see the dance and showy atmosphere on board!

Cruise ship review - It was my first time using it on the last day of my honeymoon and I was very happy. The bus to and from is also large and comfortable The food on the boat was also delicious. The sunset was so beautiful and lovely. The Japanese speaking captain was friendly and had a great time. I want to use it again.

Recommended cruise! - We didn't want to drive on the 4th of July but wanted to see fireworks and since we were tourists, we figured a boat ride would be fun. It was! We got a sunset, fireworks, food/drinks, and a cruise. The staff was friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food was quite good and the beverage selection plentiful and solid (quality cocktails)! The entertainment was great, too! We sat next to a very nice couple who were actually locals and they do the cruise every year so it came with a built in recommendation, and I also would do it again for a whale watching or other experience. It would probably be a great for a Friday sunset and Waikiki fireworks experience, too!

First Sunset Cruise - We participated on our honeymoon. The weather was nice and we could see the beautiful sunset and the city of Honolulu 🌇 Captain Steven spoke Japanese very well and it was fun to talk to him! The crew were all kind and we had great memories. It was my first time eating lobster, and the crew peeled it for me, which I was very grateful for. The steak was also very delicious! I would like to participate again.

Dissatisfied - Advertised as Independence Day cruise. Very disappointed that there were no decorations! At least a toothpick USA Flag on the dessert would have taken little effort. The steak was chewy, service slow, t h ey ran out of icecream, yet they knew numbers in advance and the boat was not full. The show was a disappointment. The fireworks were good but the Japanese couple next to us almost missed it as they couldn't understand the announcement in English. Could not recommend and encourage others to give it a miss.
