...about to this cruise. My children and I utterly loved this tour and I just want to thank the unforgettable crew members who made this trip a highlight of our vacation. From the moment we stepped onto the boat until we stepped off, it was an absolute pleasure.
Hearing my children's sounds of joy when they saw their first whale breach from the water is something that I will remember always.

TOTALLY AMAZING! When my friends and I saw this tour we were like, "Hmmm, whale watching? Sure why not!" and I am so glad that we decided to go. The boat was great, the view was priceless and seeing humpback whales jumping and slapping the water is something that I will never forget...ever. Like what a great memory to bring back home with me. Take this tour! You won't regret it!

Wish we brought the kids, they would have had a blast!! In any case it was our first time to the Big Island and this was a super good time. I'm guessing it's the same crew, but the afternoon sail crew was just lovely. Highly Recommended!!!

I thought the "dinner cruise" would be on a larger ship, but it was a yacht. It rocked quite a bit. The weather was nice, so the sunset and the view of the volcano were absolutely stunning. The buffet food was completely different from what was listed on the website. It wasn't bad, but when I tried to eat a salad with lettuce on the ship, it all blew away in the wind. However, considering the cost, I suppose this is what you get, and I wasn't dissatisfied. The staff was cheerful and friendly. I got lost on the way back to the shuttle bus from the coast. While I was lost, I ended up at the Marriott Hotel, so I went shopping at Kings Market. When I called the travel desk about getting lost, they said, "You don't have to worry too much about the shuttle bus." This seems to reflect the laid-back nature of Hawaii. I watched the sunset five times on the Big Island, and each time felt different. It would have been better to have dinner at a restaurant with a terrace while watching the sunset.
「ディナークルーズ」というのでもっと大きな船かと思っていたら、ヨットだった。
結構揺れた。
天気はよかったので、サンセット、火山の景色は最高によかった。
バイキングの料理は、ウェブに記載されたものとは全く違った。まずくはなかったが、船上でレタスの入ったサラダを食べようとすると、すべて風に舞った。
でもコストを考えるとこんなもんだろうし、不満ではない。
スタッフは、明るく、親切だった。
帰りの海岸から送迎バスまでを迷ってしまった。
迷っていたらマリオットホテルに着いたので、そのままキングズマーケットでショッピングした。迷ったことを旅デスクに電話したら、「送迎バスは、そんなに心配はしませんよ」とのこと。これがハワイらしいおおらかさのようだ。
ハワイ島でサンセットは5回見たが、すべて違う感じであった。
別オプションのレストランテラス席で食事しながらサンセットを見るほうがよかった。

The Snorkel Cruise was one of our top two activities. We very much enjoyed the cruise out to the Black Sand Beach. We saw some whales along the route. We enjoyed the snorkeling even more. This was our first ocean snorkeling cruise experience. We had snorkeled a little bit over the years but no where with as much color and marine life. Highly recommended whether you have snorkeled or not. The staff is very helpful and seem to enjoy their job. (if you can call that a job). Makes it a great experience. Very convenient launch from the Waikoloa Marriot. Very nice for us because that is where we stayed. Others were shuttled there and I am sure that was no problem either. Nice activity. Would do again.

We just came back from our honeymoon in the Big Island. We took this whale watch trip, and I must say this was by far the most enjoyable sailing trip we did in Hawaii. Being Discovery Channel lovers, we were so excited to see the real whales in front of us! We can't wait to go back there someday. Five stars!

We 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.

Very 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.

It was my first time to snorkel and I was a little nervous but the staff helped me and my experience was amazing. They went to great lengths to see that my experience was a good one.

I 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.
