A beautiful activity for a beautiful area
Reviewed by: Trevor Smith, 2015/08/15My wife and I took this cruise. Were picked up and given warm welcome, then staff were lovely and very easy to talk to whilst constantly serving you. Open bar was generously doled out - you were actually encouraged to use it! Food also enough that we didn't have to eat again that evening. Really lovely evening cruising along the bay, and a lovely romantic setting to boot.

Don't expect anything fancy
Reviewed by: chris, 2014/07/10Nice boat ride. If you are looking for a nice romantic dinner with your partner this isn't it. Food was okay and the service was nice enough but nothing fancy in the least. Paper plates and buffet style food. Wouldn't take the trip again but we did enjoy it for what it was,

get what you pay for
Reviewed by: Jon, 2014/06/02All in all, this is a fairly inexpensive way to spend an evening in Hawaii and as long as your expectations aren't high you will be OK. I feel that the advertisement grossly exaggerates the experience though.
"Romantic"- nope, not really. Its you and 20 other people crammed onto a motorboat screaming kids and all for an hour ride. Wine is served in plastic Solo cups, nowhere to sit except the floor... did I mention the screaming kids?
"Sail"- nope, not at all. This was my biggest disappointment since we really wanted to go on a sail. Though technically it may classify as a sailboat (and the photos in the ads clearly show a sailboat), there is no mast, no sail. It's just a boat-ride.
"Champagne"-yep, in romantic plastic cups. But it was there.
"Sunset"- this part is true
The staff were quite friendly and helpful, can't comment on the food because I didn't try it but it looked like there was plenty. Didn't see any dolphins or mermaids like some of the other suspiciously positive reviews but can't fault the company for that, it's a matter of luck. They were a little disorganized but not to the point I think it will cause any problems.
It wasn't a bad time, I just felt the title was misleading. And again, for the price it's not a bad deal for Hawaii just don't expect to be floored. You'll be asked to post a positive review, best to just be honest.

Great Night!
Reviewed by: Paul and Karyn, 2014/03/31We were so lucky on this trip, we had the best time! Dinner was really tasty, and there was plenty to eat and plenty to drink. But the highlight was all the whales we saw!! Like I say, we were really lucky....we had whales swimming alongside us, literally for the entire evening...it was surreal! It was a beautiful, calm night. The captain made sure to turn the boat every now and then so that we never lost sight of the sunset. The crew were all really nice, and super helpful. We drank champagne, and stood at the railing and watched the sun set. It was beautiful!!

Sunset Dinner Sail
Reviewed by: Ernie F., 2013/10/27It was our first time in Hawaii, and the Sunset Dinner Sail was a fantastic way to end our visit. The Captain was able to get us in the perfect spot to view the gorgeous Hawaiian sunset. We would definitely do it again.

renewed vows
Reviewed by: Ken, 2012/08/15My husband and I were celebrating our 30th anniversary!
I suggested the Champagne Sunset cruise on our anniversary date and to renew our vows. I liked the ideal so much I accidently double booked it. A rep from Hawaii Activities called to inform me of the double booking in time for me to cancel one of them as not to be charged twice! The atmostphere was great! There were several couples celebrating anniversaries and newlyweds. The staff was fun and helpful. The ceremony was shared with everyone on board as our choice. The Captain was excited for us and enjoyed performing the ceremony! I recommend this cruise and staff for everyone.
Thank you for a great experience!!

Ocean Sports Sunset Catamaran
Reviewed by: jjbryan, 2012/08/06This trip was fantastic. Captain Jeff and his crew, Nathan & Carlos, were wonderful and made sure that we had a great time. The food was delicious and we enjoyed relaxing on the deck, reveling in the ocean breeze as we sailed into the Pacific sunset. Highly recommend this excursion as it's fun for all ages. :)

Sunset Cruise
Reviewed by: Angela, 2008/11/10We had an enjoyable evening cruising the Kahola coastline. The weather and water were beautiful if only there hadn't been a few clouds on the horizon at sunset it would have been the Hawaiian Dream come true. We highly recommend this trip to all of our friends.

Beautiful Sunset
Reviewed by: John and Jenna, 2008/06/22Very good time. Initailly seemed a little unorganized, but once we were on the boat, things got a lot better. The staff was very friendly, funny, and knowledgable. The food was amazing and we even had seconds! A couple on the same cruise was re-newing their wedding vows after 30 years and the staff really made it special for them. A great time and a beautiful sunset.

Wasn't exactly what we expected
Reviewed by: The Hawkes, 2007/10/01I am sure it was my error in not reading the "Sunset Sail" part. We had thought that we had booked a sunset dinner cruise. Instead it was a sail boat! It was still an enjoyable experience, especially since we did take Dramamine before boarding. LOL However, for the person with sea legs it would be a great thing to experience.
