All Reviews for Sunset Dinner Cruises

The cruise had a delayed start since they were waiting for a number of people from a large group (wedding party). It was great that they waited and they extended the length of the cruise to coincide with the time spent at the habour.
The staff who managed the bar were very efficient, they also provided the dance show which was very good. The Dance show made the evening!
Good food, and an enjoyable evening.

This is our first time to Maui and we had the most amazing experience with this dinner sail. The staff were so nice and personable from the beginning to the end. There happened to be a big pre-wedding party on board with us. We were initially worried that the passengers would be too many for the crew to handle. On the contrary, once we are on board, we did not feel crowded at all. There were plenty of food and drinks for everyone. The staff were so attentive that they made sure that everyone was taken care of. They even helped some of the guests to carry the food/drink to the upper deck when needed. The dance and cultural performance were very unique and created a nice ambience. The sunset view was so breathtaking!!

After the sunset, with the drink and dessert, all of the guests were seemed very relaxed and happy. The captain put on the music and some of the guests were dancing on the upper deck. It was great to see so many happy faces!

All and all, this is the best dinner cruise I have ever experienced. It had exceeded my expectation and I would recommend it to everyone going to Maui!

Coming to Hawaii/Maui for the first time was a dream vacation that came true. We booked The Pride of Maui Sunset Luau Dinner cruise with open bar& Polynesian dance. The cruise was a lot of fun. The crew members were very nice. The food was very tasty/ delicious, and the drinks at the open bar were exceptionally good! While we cruised the calm Pacific Ocean enjoying the beautiful scenery we also got to watch the hula dancers that were very nice and friendly,and amazing dancers. As the Pride of Maui sailed into the sunset was a breathtaking view. Then the full moon appeared from behind the mountain tops it was astonishing. The lovely songs that the hula dancers were singing made me feel very special and relaxed and welcomed.As our cruise come to an end the crew hugged us and thanked us for coming. So like you ever get a chance to visit Maui we would recommend you to book this beautiful experience! You will never forget it ! MAHALO!❤❤

The Sunset Cruise was OUTSTANDING!!!!! We visited Maui as a family of 12 people. We wanted to find something that allowed the kids as well as adults to enjoy. This AMAZING cruise was just that, there was enough seating for us all to hang out together as a family. The Polynesian dance was AWESOME, they encouraged audience participation which the kids really enjoyed. The crew were very friendly and welcoming as we boarded. I would recommend this activity to anyone visiting Maui.

I would recommend the Pride of Maui Sunset Dinner Cruise. The staff was very kind and generous, even offering to bring my drinks for me to the top deck. The food and drinks were amazing, entertainment/luau show was great. And a beautiful sunset capped off a great evening. Thank you for a great evening!

This sunset dinner cruise on the Pride of Maui was excellent. The staff were very nice from beginning to end and went out of their way to make everyone in our party feel like a part of their family. This particular day we saw the sunset and a full moon. Would recommend this cruise.

Kimo and Moka made this sunset cruise so much fun. This cute hula dancing married couple really know how to get the party going. The food was amazing. The drinks were tasty and strong. This sunset cruise is a can't miss. So much fun crew was awesome food was great open bar amazing

My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed this sunset cruise! The crew began by giving all passengers a thorough explanation of the safety components of the trip. The experience on the boat was exceptional, as the Polynesian dance show was performed by the same people as the bartenders! They did a fantastic job. The food itself was also very tasty, and the drinks offered were of great variety. I would definitely recommend this to others!

This was one of the most fun things we did in Maui, The event start with some Hawaiian singing and dancing from a beautiful Hawaiian couple, Then we get some really tasty appetizers (My wife loved their cheese collection), They have open bar for the entire trip so that was great.

You get to see the best views of the islands while cruising, And when the sunset time came, it was one of the most romantic and peaceful views we have seen.

I had the pleasure of performing the Hawaiian dance on the boat , I'm not much of a dancer but it was a lot of fun trying to do the Hawaiian dance.

Great trip and great food and great times

Hard working and friendly staff, better than expected food. The musician was really good. Everything gets a excellent...except the quality or lack of quality for the drinks included. For the price the quality should be Top shelf...I would even take mid level ,but not the stuff you find on the bottom shelf. Other than that it was great.

This was a great experience!

From the moment you arrive in the docking peers you are greeted with the warm aloha spirit of the crew.

The crew was friendly and accommodating. The 4 of them (not including the captain of the boat) wear many hats (prepare food, bartenders, Polynesian dancers...).

Food is good, drinks are good, performers were great!
Open bar that’s included !!!

Weather and wind where cooperative that night.

There where some waves here and there but our group all took Dramamine. If you are prone to motion sickness take something before you go on the boat !

Over all the experience was positive.

I cant wait to go back! The new boat is beautiful and rides so incredibly smooth. The crew is what sets Sea Maui apart from the other guys. Throughout the cruise they were attentive and entertaining, treating everyone on board like long time friends. I was having such a good time on the cruise that I had forgotten dinner was included until they announced the buffet was ready! Great food and drinks with the best crew in Maui! Couldn't ask for more!

Perfect luau for Maui experience
Location was great near in Ka’anapali beach and Lahaina.. great bar and food experience for out of towners
There was food options for vegetarians and meat eaters !

My husband and I took this cruise last Friday night . It was the perfect way to end our stay in Maui. We were staying at a condo right next to the harbor where the boat departed, so super convenient for us. Some people were caught in a lot of traffic coming from Lahaina that night and, although the ship waited for a while still didn’t make it. This was unfortunate for those people because they missed out on a really great experience. It was good for us because there was only half the number of people aboard...more room to move around,. It was like a private excursion l The staff was top notch,super attentive, the entertainment wonderful.The crew puts on a hula show, the food and drinks were excellent. Had my Hawaii drink all night, lava flow. Sunsets and views amazing!!

I was visiting Maui for a week and a cruise sounded like a great experience for my trip. The ship itself is very old and outdated, the seats are very snug and you sit across from a couple that you do not know. Thankfully we sat across from two very nice and friendly people. I had the roasted chicken and it was dry. The drinks were not good, very watered down and didn’t taste as they should have. Well over priced and do not recommend.

Great sunset cruise. Sunset was beautiful. Food was excellent. The staff and musician made it even better! We loved it!!!

Rain is unpredictable I get that. But after a rainstorm and all the food is soaked, why would you ask how your food was and if you’re done? Have a backup plan please! I would’ve paid $50 a person instead of what I paid.

Had a great time, good food, good drinks, good time

Wonderful music and very good food! Friendly attentive staff!

I participated with my daughter. We decided to join because there was live music, and the authentic hula show was also very good. There were no Japanese crew members. I’m not good at English, but it was not a problem at all. It was a very windy day, so I felt like I might be blown away while watching the show, and it was quite cold. I think it would have been even better if the wind had been weaker.

娘と参加しました。生演奏ありということで参加を決めましたが、本格的なフラのショーもあったのでそちらもとても良かったです。日本人の乗務員はいませんでした。英語が苦手ですが全然問題ないです。風が大変強い日でしたのでショーを見ているときはすっ飛ばされそうでかなり寒かったです。風が弱ければ更に良かったと思います。

If you're in a small party, you share a table. Tables are set for four people.
We got to sit with a couple from Australia. So it was interesting to meet someone from somewhere else in the world.
Drinks were good, Mai Tai's. Dinner was good. Prime Rib or Chicken. Dessert was good. Cheesecake.
I wish that we could have gotten another roll with dinner.
Other than that, we sat out in the bay to enjoy the evening. We had a great night for the cruise.

Recommend Alii Nui for a great sunset dinner cruise. Great crew and a very enjoyable experience!

The crew was attentive. My family and I had a great time, would do again.

The crew were outstanding!! Jason, the captain of the boat was very interactive with the kids regarding the operation of the boat. Jason and Lindsey were very good with the number of people and keeping the bar operating at a very good pace. I would suppose my only issue is that there aren’t any real tables to sit and eat. You need to find a place to enjoy the food, which by the way is very good. Overall, was worth the cost and would take this trip again. Thank you “Pride of Maui”

We have been on other dinner cruises but this one was by far the best. I was very sceptical about doing another dinner cruise but friends we came with wanted to. The las one we went on was very hot and impersonal. This one was very different. We picked it because it was a sail and it was a smalll group and it was wonderful. The food, the crew and everything about it was great. It wasn’t hot even though we were sun side on the sail out. There was a breeze and we were able to move about the boat. The food was really good. Captain Emily was funny and experienced and we chatted with the other small group of guests. We had a good time and I would do it again.

Great crew, tasty food, good music, saw some whales. Very enjoyable time.

Was surprised that there are no tables to eat meal at. However, crew did a great job on the cruise and food was very good! Not much of a sunset because of clouds but we did see some whales so that was good! If it wasn’t for the quality of the food, I would have been disappointed. Everyone working on the shop was very accommodating and very friendly.

This was a very enjoyable evening. The crew did a great job serving everyone and the food was excellent. The captain did a wonderful job steering around the thunderstorm that was in the area. We also had a whale entertain us slapping its tail to the beat of the music.

The boat and crew were perfect. Not overcrowded. The food was top notch. The drinks were top shelf and the crew was at the top of their game. Sunsets are a crap shoot in Hawaii. This night it was perfect. Just the right mix of clouds and sea. A mother Humpback whale and her new calf graced us with their presence. This was a perfect storm or wonderful. Thank you Ali'i Nui and mother nature for a once in a lifetime experience.

Dinner was really great and the view was amazing. Dinner mints were a wonderful idea as we had a few in the group get a little motion sick but they cured the issue. Thank you, we will come again!
