Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

This is the best excursion

Reviewed by: Kathy

We travel to Kona every other year. We discovered the dinner cruise the last time we went and loved it so we definitely booked it again last week. This year was even better. The crew were ready to help anyone needing help. We were waited on and spoiled. The food was tasty. The historian did a great job as did the music entertainment. We took the cruise at the end of March which should have been too late to view a whale. One popped up right beside the boat. The captain steered the boat to try to follow the whale so we could get another view. It started raining later and once again the captain did what he could to take us out away from the rain. We will definitely do this the next time we return to Hawaii.

Luxury Private Boat Charters from Kona - Daytime & Sunset Cruises aboard No Wiki

Best yacht experience ever!

Reviewed by: Deja

Captain Cindy and Chelsea were so nice. It was my birthday and they made me feel so special. The drinks were flowing and they even provided a speaker for all of my friends and I to use. We had forgotten to get food and they had provided us an assortment of finger sandwiches to snack on. We watched the sunset and jumped off the boat. Honestly that experience was the highlight of my entire birthday trip in Hawaii. I will not hesitate to come back to them next time I am in Hawaii on the Big Island !

It was a great sail, no issues. We saw dolphins and one whale.

Reviewed by: Valerie

It was a great evening for sailing. The Captain and crew were very nice and got along well with everyone. We saw dolphins and one . The food was catered and was pretty good. Salad, grilled chicken and white rice.

We had to wait for a few couples before we could leave but we stayed out a little longer.

Spirit of Aloha Waikoloa Sunset Cruise with FREE Cocktails - Hawaii Nautical

Great experience!

Reviewed by: Jess

The crew is fun and informative. Great views of the island from the water and even saw some whales breaching. Made for some great pictures and we saw the "green flash" as sunset! You take a tender to the boat and do have to walk into the water a bit so just make sure you have on shorts or something you can lift up while getting on and off. Bring cash for tip and any extra drinks. Departs from the beach behind the Marriott which was super convenient if you're staying here.

Luxury Private Boat Charters from Kona - Daytime & Sunset Cruises aboard No Wiki

A beautiful and relaxing cruise

Reviewed by: Debbie

Captain Kurt and Dave gave us a beautiful and relaxing cruise. This was something the whole family can do. We were hoping to see some whales but they were a little too shy this trip. We did have a great snorkel spot. Dave showed the best spots to see sea life. My 2 year old grandson got into the ocean for the first time. Captain Kurt was able to assist some of our family into and out of the ocean safely. Dave brought up a starfish and a sea anemone so my grandson could see and touch them before releasing them back into the ocean.

Sunset cruise

Reviewed by: Jimbo

Once on board everything was terrific. Great staff, perfect weather, good drinks and unexpectedly a chicken dinner with rice and salad was offered. Had we known that - wouldn’t have had late lunch. Would have rated excellent- except the map provided was POOR. Drove around frantically for 25 minutes in marina trying to find where to go. No phone number provided. Fortunately a crew member called us and we made it. Others had same problem.

We really enjoyed ourselves on our cruise. The captain and crew were amazing and incredibly attentive. It was a choppy night on the ocean but they made it fun and it helped to take our minds off of it. We even spotted a few whales on our trip. We highly recommend!

Reviewed by: Adam H

Couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Capt Mike, Faith, Brandon and Rob were the height of professionalism yet still made it fun. They were knowledgeable of the area, sailing and were very personable. They made it their mission to make sure we were happy, comfortable and filled with liquid refreshment. Sunset was out of this world and different experience then watching it from land. You won’t regret a single minute on this boat!

Kailua-Kona Sunset Cocktail with Free Drinks - Honi Olani Catamaran

Beautiful - Location on Website is Wrong.

Reviewed by: CEC

Beautiful catamaran run by a family. We saw some dolphins while on the sunset cruise. They offered canned beers and hard seltzers, and and a boxed teriyaki meal with salad. The meeting location was difficult to find; they said one of the booking sites (HawaiiActivities.com) has the location listed incorrectly. It is NOT next to the Harbor House restaurant on the north side of the harbor. Instead , once you get to Honokohau Harbor, you follow the road on the south side of the harbor all the way to the yellow gates. The parking lot is no longer paved. Then walk through the gates all the way to the end of the pier.

Sunset cruise

Reviewed by: Cody

I cannot recommend this sunset cruise enough. The crew of Captain Kirk and staff were exceptional. During this cruise the vessel encored some mechanical issues, which promoted a slightly longer cruise. The crew were nothing short of professional and comforting in managing this issue, as well as utilizing exceptional skills in retuning the vessel to port. My only regret in not asking to crew what music we were listing to.

ハワイ島 サンセットセーリング カタマラン船「スピリット・オブ・アロハ号」<ワイコロア・アナエホオマルベイ発>

Sunset cruise from A-Bay in Waikoloa by catamaran. カタマランで行くワイコロア アナエホオマルベイ(A-bay)からのサンセットクルーズ

Reviewed by: Moco

In early March, we participated in a sunset cruise departing from the beach right in front of the Waikoloa Beach Marriott. We were the only Japanese guests, but the cruise included simple snacks and two drinks with alcohol.

The female captain announced that we might see dolphins and whales today, so everyone focused on searching for them while enjoying the scenery. Soon, one person spotted a sea turtle, and just as we were excited about that, the captain informed us that a pod of dolphins was nearby, prompting all the passengers to start watching. Then we spotted a whale! Everyone got really excited, sharing sightings of dolphins and whales, and the first half of the cruise was filled with excitement over dolphin and whale watching rather than just enjoying the views.

In the second half, we enjoyed the stunning Waikoloa sunset accompanied by slow Hawaiian music, making it a very satisfying sunset cruise.

3月初めに宿泊先のワイコロアビーチマリオットの目の前のビーチから出発のサンセットクルーズに参加しました。日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが簡単なおつまみとアルコールを含む2ドリンクつき。

女性キャプテンからのアナウンスで今日はイルカや鯨も見えるかもとのことで皆景色を楽しみながらもそれらを探すのに集中。
すぐに一人がウミガメを発見し、喜んでいると今度はキャプテンからイルカの群れがすぐ近くにの見えるとのお知らせに乗客皆でウォッチング^_^
そして今度は鯨を発見!
皆さん、ハイテンションになり、あちこちに見えるイルカや鯨を発見しては教え合い、前半は景色を楽しむよりイルカ&ホエルウォッチングで大盛り上がりでした。

後半はスローなハワイアンミュージックをバックに素晴らしいワイコロアのサンセットが見られ大満足のサンセットクルーズでした。

Thank you very much. ありがとうございました。

Reviewed by: タカカズ

The weather was perfect, and I was moved by all the scenery. I was told that if things went well, I might see a whale, but I didn't get my hopes up. However, whales appeared! They jumped several times, which was also moving. The passengers on the boat cheered loudly. And then, the sunset—absolutely stunning. I recorded videos of the whales and the sunset. Even after returning home, it was amazing!

One slight disappointment was that although they mentioned light snacks, there were only some snack foods in paper cups. The rest was just conversation... This was our fault, but I was disappointed that I couldn't understand the crew's fun talk. Because of these two points, I couldn't say it was "the best!" I apologize for that.

That said, it was a series of moving experiences. I am grateful.

天候に恵まれすべての景色に感動。
うまくいけば鯨を見れるかも!と言われていたが、期待しないでいました。
が、鯨出没。何度もジャンプしてくれました。これまた感動。船上では乗客が大歓声。
そして、サンセット。 これまた最高。
鯨・サンセット 動画で撮影しましたよ。 
帰宅後見ても、最高!!

ちょいと残念なのが、軽食とあるが紙コップの中にスナック菓子があるだけ。
あとは会話が・・・
これは我々のせいですが、クルーの楽しそうなトークが理解出来ず残念。
この2点があった為『最高でした!』が押せませんでした。申し訳ありません。

とは言え、感動の連続。感謝しております。
