Nice dinner Cruise - This was a very nice dinner cruise. Really big boat and the crew as amazing! This is a nice long cruise but the waters were rough. Be prepared and take some meds before you get on. My husband is very sensitive so he took some meds and he was perfectly fine. Food was really good and drinks excellent. Unfortunately it was April and we did not get a sunset due to the overcast and vog. It was a little cool, so bring a sweater. Where flats, you can't walk in heals. Live music and live tour guide made it fun. 💖

Good food but mislabeled destination - The food was good and the crew great. But it was sold as a cruise to Kealakekua Bay and instead they went north towards the airport

Rough sea - The ocean was rough. People getting sea sick. I took a sea sick pill, but still got sick. They cancelled the trip and turned around about half way. They still offered the dinner once docked, but didn't feel good enough to eat. Never got to see the sunset at sea or ate. Unfortunately it was a bust for us. The crew was nice and helpful.
