We set sail to catch the sunset. Enjoyed some snacks and cocktails while feeling a bit tipsy. Spotted a whale in the distance. We had the best sunset experience on the Big Island of Hawaii!

Tips and suggestions

Since you'll be going barefoot when getting on the ferry from the sandy beach, it's best to wear sandals.

砂浜から渡りボートに乗る際に裸足になるのでサンダル履きがよいですよ。

Outstanding!

This cruise was outstanding! The crew was polite and attentive. The dinner was excellent! There was live music as well as someone giving us a little history of the island in between songs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. We also were lucky enough to see the spinner dolphins put on a little chauffeur for us. We saw flying fish. Overall, it was an excellent experience!

We enjoyed a relaxing sunset together as a couple. The boat hardly swayed, so we didn't get seasick at all.

キャプテン・クック号 サンセット・ディナークルーズ <夕食・カクテル1杯付き/カイルアピア発>
Sailing down the west coast of the Big Island to Captain Cook's landing point, then enjoying the sunset as it falls on the horizon.
ハワイ島西海岸沖をキャプテンクック上陸点まで南下、そのあと水平線に落ちる夕日を堪能
Activity Date: 2024/12/12 | Posted on: 2024/12/13

We sailed south along the west coast of the Big Island to the Captain Cook landing site. While listening to explanations about the history of the Big Island, we were able to see the magnificent overall view of the island from the sea, which was quite enjoyable. Dinner was a set menu, including cocktails and soft drinks. When requesting a vegetarian meal at the time of reservation, we were served Thai curry. For appetizers, we had a green salad with strawberries, and for dessert, there was a wonderfully sweet chocolate tart cake. Hot coffee (Kona coffee) was also provided. After turning back at the Captain Cook landing site, we headed towards the departing port while witnessing the sunset offshore. Along the way, a family of dolphins came close, which was exciting even though it was for a short time. We also observed small fish, resembling flying fish, actively jumping around. Onboard, there was a live guitar performance, and we had a great time singing along to classic hits that any American would know. Depending on the weather, the boat might sway a bit, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to bring motion sickness medication.

ハワイ島西海岸沿いの沖合をキャプテンクック上陸点まで南下。ハワイ島の歴史に関する説明を聞きながら、西海岸沖の海上から雄大なハワイ島の全体像を見ることができ、これだけでもかなり楽しめます。夕食はセットメニューで、カクテルやソフトドリンクがついています。ベジタリアンミールを希望するときは予約時に選択すると、タイカレーが提供されました。前菜としてイチゴの入ったグリーンサラダ、デザートにはめいっぱい甘いチョコレートタルトケーキがでました。ホットコーヒー(コナコーヒー)も提供してくれます。キャプテンクック上陸点で折り返し、沖合でサンセットを見届けると出発した港に向けて航路を向けますが、途中でイルカの家族が近くまで来てくれて、短い時間でしたが盛り上がりました。アジサシ?のような小さな飛び魚のような魚が盛んに飛びながらおよいでいるのも観察できました。船上ではギターのライブ演奏があり、アメリカ人ならだれでも知っている往年のヒット曲で大いに盛り上がりました。天候によっては多少揺れると思いますので、船に弱い人は酔い止めを持って行った方がよいかもしれません。

Tips and suggestions

There is absolutely no support for Japanese tourists. Everything is in English, so those who are not confident in their English may miss out on what is being discussed, but I think you can still enjoy

日本人観光客に対する対応はまったくありません。すべて英語ですので、英語に不安のある方は話をしている内容が聞き取れずもったいないように思いますが、単純にサンセットクルーズだけでも楽しめるかと思います。

Fantastic sunset sail

My two friends and teenage son went on this sunset sail and had an absolutely beautiful time. The sunset colors were stunning, and dolphins played along the bow of the boat as we were underway. It was magical! Crew was great. Drinks were yummy. It was a great thing to do on our last night in Hawaii. Highly recommend.

Sunset Catamaran Cruise
Activity Date: 2024/11/08 | Posted on: 2024/11/10

This was our third time on the Hani Olani catamaran, sunset cruise with our cousins. Each time has been a great experience. It’s great being barefoot on the deck of the catamaran makes serve drinks and food. The crew are always really nice and accommodating making us feel comfortable and treating us like royalty. It’s so beautiful to be out at sea and watch the sunset. It’s such a great surrounding. We highly recommend this excursion and most likely will do it again when we come back to the Big Island

Very Accessible and Enjoyable Cruise
Activity Date: 2024/10/17 | Posted on: 2024/10/19

We had a great time on the Dinner Cruise. We were especially impressed when we received a call from Medina from the Body Glove office. She noticed that we stated we both had limited mobility when we registered, so she called to tell us we could park at the pier right across from the boat and arranged to have their crew unlock the gate for us when we arrived. This made it very easy to board. The crewmembers assisted my wife, who uses a walker, during boarding and when getting off the boat. Everyone on the crew was very warm and friendly. Service was excellent. Food was good. Entertainment was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this cruise and thank the folks at Body Glove for their kind assistance to both of us.

The top rating goes to the crew's hospitality. Even though the cocktails were free, I was very impressed. It's definitely not a cheap tour, but I would like to participate again if the opportunity arises.

Aloha-thank you for joining us. We appreciate your kind words.

It's unfortunate that your five year old experienced motion sickness. Our vessel is a sixty-five foot long double decker catamaran. The good news is that most guests do not experience motion sickness. For guests who know they have a propensity to experience motion sickness we recommend an over the counter remedy such as Dramamine at least an hour before boarding. Best wishes to you and your family!
