Our first night in Oahu

Reviewer: Ms. Kristy  Posted on 10 Mar 2010
Overall Rating:
Um... yeah. this was an AMAZING way to start our Oahu vacation. We went as a couple doing the regular package. The food was good- no real complaints there. and you get one drink (that was pretty weak). and there is entertainment. all as one would expect...

but the best part of it was the SUNSET!! Even though it was a little chilly, it was incredibly romantic and we got some nice photos

And we SAW HUMPBACK WHALES!!! about 12-15 of them to be exact. Lots of tail flukes and 4 spy-hopping. We were probably the only couple that saw that many because we ate dinner and then decided to for-go the cheesy entertainment with all the ...tourists, and go up on the deck to make sure we didn't miss the sunset. When we went back in, we were surprised how many people didn't go on the deck, and didn't see ANY whales!!

TIPS: Arrive early to get a dinner table by the window. Don't waste your time with the cheesy entertainment, the sunset is what makes this trip worth it (and whales!!). Also, get a drink at the Aloha Towers to have your parking validated so its only $2. And spend some time on the deck, not just at your dinner table.

Sea Life Park

Reviewer: Mr. The Bean's  Posted on 21 Feb 2010
Overall Rating:
Overall it was a good experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Had a great time swimming with the Dolphins and the Sea Lions. But was a little disappointed in the Ray experience. Did not have much time with them and their pond was fairly dirty, but their handler was extremely nice. Would definitely recommend the Dolphin and Sea Lion experiences, but not sure we would do the Rays again.

Navatek Dinner Cruise

Reviewer: Mr. Mr. & Mrs. Bean  Posted on 21 Feb 2010
Overall Rating:
We went on the Dinner Cruise for our anniversary and it was so enjoyable. They had some great entertainment (singer and dancers). The food was wonderful as well. But to top of our evening we were able to spot some dolphins swimming and jumping along side the boat. Could not have had a better experience and would definitely do this again.

Our Anniversary nite!

Reviewer: Mr. Island Couple  Posted on 14 Nov 2009
Overall Rating:
We wanted to do something special for our Anniversary. We're celebrating 6 years. We've never done anything like this.
Taking the Navatek was a nice experience.
We had the best seat. We recommend paying extra for the window seat its worth it. And the Sunset was soo Awesome. I was worried about getting sea sick I'm sorta sensitive, But I was uneffected. I did not get sick :)
I've lived in Hawaii my whole life and my Husband has been here for over 10 years so we see beautiful senaery everyday, And I've danced hula and tahitian Yet, Its just nice to get away and enjoy Hawaii for yourself...
We had a Great Time and would Do it Again :)
Maybe next time we'll take my Mom in Law I think she'd love it!

Good food, good entertainment...

Reviewer: Mr. Anonymous  Posted on 27 Oct 2009
Overall Rating:
Since it was a cloudy day in Oct., we didn't really get a spectacular sunset, but that's not the cruise company's fault. The ride to Diamondhead and back was nice. Staff was very friendly, and the hula/ singing show was pretty good. The big bus picked us up a block away from our hotel, so we didn't have to deal with trying to find the boat, or parking. A big plus!

Wonderful time!

Reviewer: Ms. LizFerguson  Posted on 13 Nov 2008
Overall Rating:
My husband and I took the sunset dinner cruise to celebrate our two-year wedding anniversary. It was fantastic! For those who worry about getting sea-sick, the boat right was very smooth and enjoyable, I did not have any problems. The food was delicious and the entertainment was great. I loved the music, very romantic and low and perfect. The sunset was beautiful. They will take pictures of you on the boat that will make great souvenirs - you need to splurge and buy them! Highly recommended!

The Dinner Cruise was fine. We did the City Lights tour afterwards and it was a complete rip off. What little naration there was, was delivered in Japanese. Don't waste your money. Unfortunately it soured our entire evening.

Dinner cruise

Reviewer: Mr. Anonymous  Posted on 22 Feb 2008
Overall Rating:
What a great experience! From when we entered the Atlantis boat until we got off, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We sat near the window, ate great food, enjoyed whale watching (saw many) and enjoyed the entertainment. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a great evening.

Awesome time, repeat visitor

Reviewer: Mr. Anonymous  Posted on 1 Feb 2008
Overall Rating:
We are repeat visitors to Navatek. The entertainment is far superior to any other dinner cruise ship. These people really can sing and play their instruments very well. The singers are awesome. They don't just do a typical luau type show, they also sing a wide variety of music for listening or dancing. I told one of the singers that she is every bit as good or better than any of those American Idol people! We had a great time! The dancers are beautiful. The crew was very friendly and down to earth.
I've been on all the other dinner cruise ships as I am a repeat visitor to Hawaii. We don't have an ocean where I live, so I always want to experience it when I'm there. All the other cruise ships(Alii Kai, Star of Honolulu and Starlet)were horrible. Nothing can beat the smooth ride on Navatek and the unobstructed views of the sunset that Navatek offers. I believe I have heard that no other dinner cruise ship goes past Diamond Head to Kahala and beyond -- and I believe it. Every time I've been on Navatek, there were no other dinner cruise ships in sight. That is probably why the view of the sunset was perfect!
I can't say enough about the entertainment. I thought the volume was perfect for dancing and having fun at the end. If it were any softer, I know I wouldn't have felt like dancing. Maybe some of the other negative reviewers had a bad day or ??? This cruise ship has it all --great entertainment, good food, good servers, good ride, and great views of Diamond Head and the sunset. Who could ask for more?
