Gorgeous beatific Sunset ever!! - I will recommend this tour. I caught the most gorgeous sunset in my life! It felt so surreal and I use it as one of my screen savers. This was my first time to the Big island! I would have wanted to see a dolphin or whale, they did not grace me!!

Relaxing mid-afternoon cruise. - Perfect mid-afternoon no-frills cruise. Great opportunity to put in the middle of your vacation for a few hours of relaxing under sail. We saw a large pod of spinner dolphin, a bunch of goats along the coast, and thousands of flying fish. Great boat, with a great crew! No snorkeling, no dinner, just a relaxing cruise with snacks and drinks available.

Fantastic Catamaran Day Sail! - My husband and I went on the Kona Trade Wind Catamaran Day Sail with Captain Stan and crewman Nicole. Young James who is in training also came. Oddly enough we were the only two people who had signed up that day. We had a fantastic time on our own private excursion. Everyone was so hospitable and made the trip so fun. Great music also!

Relaxing afternoon on the water:) - The crew was knowledgeable, skilled, informative, service-minded, and FUN! We loved being out on the water, seeing spinner dolphins, hearing about the “fish farm” near the airport, soaking up the beautiful everything.
