My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the dinner cruise. We enjoyed great food, company, saw whales, and just relaxed and took it in.

We had a great time learning about the folklore of the island and seeing all the beautiful natural wonders Maui has to offer!

Awesome experience on the beautiful Ali Nui. Captain Bre and crew worked so hard to make the entire experience fun and memorable! Everything from the boat, sailing, food, service and the sunset was top notch. Highly recommend!

We had the best time! Everything was perfect, from the driver who picked us up to the dinner, sunset, and all of the staff! Will definitely do this sunset cruise again!

The crew was very attentive and professional. The dinner and drinks were fabulous!

Let me start by saying I was a little nervous about booking this dinner cruise because I didn't know if the price would be worth it. I also saw in the fine print when booking that you were only allowed 3 alcoholic beverages the entire trip, which confused me since it says open bar.

I have never been on a dinner cruise and this was my boyfriends' first trip to Hawaii so I wanted everything to be perfect! We were picked up from the hotel and I immediately asked about the drink limit. He said there wasn't one so that was a relief! It was even nicer knowing that we were getting dropped back off at the hotel so we could drink as much as we wanted. We shared the bus with another couple and had some nice conversations.

We got to the boat and it was raining a little bit but it stopped almost as soon as we left the harbor. We did some sailing since the weather was nice and we watched a beautiful sunset. The food was served buffet style so you could go back as many times as you wanted and it was all delicious. The crab cakes and ahi sashimi were my absolute favorites and my boyfriend really enjoyed the tri tip and ahi as well. The dessert was excellent and even accompanied by Bailey's and an amazing raspberry dessert wine that I wish I knew the name of so I could buy some back home.

There was a photographer on board and she really tried to get pictures of everyone that wanted pictures. She posed us and we were able to get some beautiful pictures in front of the sunset. She was very nice and so was the entire crew. They were attentive, fun, joking, and all around seemed like wonderful people. The bathrooms were clean which is always nice, especially when you're on a boat.

We had an amazing night and really loved the fact that it was a small intimate setting. We've already discussed it and will be booking this sail again on our next trip to Maui.

YOU WON'T REGRET BOOKING!!!!!!!

We were totally impressed with the crew. We chose to be picked up at our resort which was much better than trying to drive to dock and find a parking place and then drink during cruise and drive home.
Alii Nui was a great craft, smooth sailing and comfortable.
Choices of tastes and drinks were fine. Foods for the "Feast" were outstanding, including roast beef sliced as you requested, crab cakes, pork ribs, and more.
Sunset was outlined by clouds and then the moon came up. WOW.

Good food, beautiful views, great staff, smooth sailing!

Great experience! Highly recommend!
The crew was very professional, they checked to see if you needed anything regularly. The food was great as well.

This cruise is truly a 5-star event! Not crowded like many other dinner cruises, the embeance, the crew, the vessel, the food was top notch!

We loved the cruise so much that we booked another dinner excursion at the end of our stay at Maui!

Mahalo, Alii Nui and crew!

This cruise was outstanding. Everyone did an amazing job at giving us the best service! The staff was very friendly. I highly recommend this cruise dinner!

5 Stars across the board:

Boat Cleanliness and Size

Just the right amount of people on board. We never felt crowded at all. Plenty of room to move around.Great food and service. They had every detail covered. Highly....highly recommended!

Highly recommended tour. The boat and crew, fun and professional. The drinks and food service, bountiful and delicious. The sunset, beautiful. The humpback whale and her calf... unbelievable!

This was by far the best dinner cruise we have been on in Maui. Superior service with a very delicious menu selection including prime rib and great desserts, not to mention the free flowing top shelf drinks. To add icing on the cake the Captain let me take the helm of this beautiful catamaran at full sail.
Hats off to the Captain and Crew. Well done!

The wife and I had an excellent time, we did our ride the night before our wedding. The crew was a delight, they made some wonderful food, excellent drinks, and the service was astounding! Lastly the professional photographer was extremely appreciated, we bought photos and they were beautiful.

This will definitely be on our list of things to do on our next visit.

As penny pinchers we originally struggled to justify paying as much as we did for one activity but it was our honeymoon so we wanted to make it special. After enjoying the night on Alii Nui’s dinner sail and meeting the incredible staff, enjoying the open bar and the yummy food we found ourselves looking up what other excursions Alii Nui offers and booking a turtle snorkel with them. When we talk about our trip to Maui we rave about Alii Nui and tell everyone they were 100% the highlight. Wish we could go back to Maui just to do more excursions with them.

The Alii Nui Sunset Cruise was incredible! My husband and I booked the cruise for our honeymoon and were very pleased with the whole experience. The boat launched from Maalaea Harbor around 5pm and began serving drinks once out of the harbor. We loved the signature drinks! Dinner was delicious and offered gluten free options including seared ahi tuna, prime rib, potatoes, and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. The ribs were advertised as GF, but had bbq sauce containing gluten on top. The crew was very helpful when I asked to check on gluten friendly options!

We could see amazing views of the sunset the whole time which was super important to us. We also loved that we had freedom to move around the boat as desired.

The whole crew was fantastic! Captain Jamey, Kalina, Farel, and Jackson went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. We were impressed that the crew not only served throughout the dinner, but also picked guests up from hotels, sailed the boat, bartended, and also made time to be friendly with the guests. The cruise also had a professional photographer, Anna, who took beautiful photos of the guests throughout the evening. During the dinner, she edited the photos and then we were able to purchase them as keepsakes.

This would make a great romantic evening for any honeymooners or couple! We highly recommend. :)

My mom and I had the best experience on the dinner cruise! The food wasn't the greatest but the drinks were amazing and the service alone made me want to come back again and again. The team on this boat was so attentive and constantly giving us drink after drink! Everyone was so funny, sweet, and kind and it was such a relaxing activity.

We had the most amazing experience! The crew was wonderful, the food was delicious and the whole evening was unforgettable! I highly recommend this experience!

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

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.

I participated with my wife. There were no other Japanese participants besides us. There were about 15 passengers, mostly couples and newlyweds. It seems that there is a limit on the number of participants, so we were able to use the space comfortably. We could move freely inside the ship, and it was also possible to lie down on the deck. The meals were served buffet-style, and the taste was quite standard.

The ship itself was large and had little sway, so I was able to consume alcohol without feeling seasick. Since we departed during daylight hours, I recommend using sunscreen and a hat (which are provided on board).

Additionally, since the pick-up time to the hotel was around 4:00 PM, it is also possible to participate in this tour after morning activities.

妻と参加しました。自分達以外の参加者で日本の方はおられませんでした。乗客数は15人程度で夫婦や新婚旅行で来られた方が多かったです。おそらく人数制限していると思われ、広々と使うことができました。船内は自由に移動ができ、デッキの上で寝そべることも可能です。食事はビュッフェ形式で、味は一般的なものです。
船自体が大きく、揺れが少なかったのでアルコールを摂取していましたが、船酔いすることもありませんでした。明るい時間帯から出港するため、日焼け止めや(船内に装備されています)帽子の使用をお勧めします。
上記に加え、ホテルまでのお迎えの時刻が16:00前後であったため、午前中のアクティビティの後にこのツアーに参加するといった方法も可能です。

The crew was awesome. They are very attentative to all of the guests and made sure everyone was happy.

Awesome..definitely would do again! Loved everything

Boat is very comfortable, and staff is great! Food was better than I expected! Sunset was awesome and they kept the drinks coming. Would definitely do again!

Wife and I really enjoyed the cruise. The crew was great. They were very attentive to everyone making sure we had a drink or were just doing good. They work their butts from the time you get on board to the time we get back. Nice to get picked up at our hotel so we could have a few drinks and not worry about driving. The food was great and a good variety-ribs. a little sushi, chicken, veggies, crab balls (sure i missed something) were all good and fresh. The adult beverages were first class. Not often you do one of these where they offer top shelf liquor like Oban and Macallan as well as other similar liquor and local beers etc.

My wife and I have just returned from a dinner cruise beyond compare.
It all started with a warm greeting at dockside. Appetizers and non alcoholic beverages followed- the alcoholic drinks included in the price were available after we had cruised out of the harbour,
We had the perfect evening for this cruise. There was some mauka showers early on, which led to a double ended brilliant rainbow. And the crew dried all of the outside seats for later use. Drinks and more appetizers followed as we cleared the harbour under power. Fortunately, the wind was up, but not to strong to sail. ASK TO SAIL! I did, and after the sails were raised, I was given the helm and the compass course. Although I have sailed many times before, it had been several years since the last time. When we reached our anchoring location for dinner, the crew expertly took over and settled all of the sailing rigging.
After watching and photographing an amazing sunset, dinner was served. What a meal! Top quality, lots of choice, and abundant quantities of everything. And there was comfortable table seating for everyone, previous review notwithstanding. Drinks were served at table by the efficient and very friendly crew.
What I really liked about this cruise is that they take a maximum of 32 people, which allowed for easy interaction amongst all of the crew and guests.
The boat was spotless, and the 'heads'-washrooms - were clean and stocked with luxury products.
This is quite an expensive cruise, but worth every penny of the cost.

Crew did perfect job getting us underway. Dinner was prepared with care and served by crew always attentive. The caption kept the boat in a calm channel changing position so all had the best views of sunset and moon rize.
Yes will do this one again.

I participated with my American friend. It was a wonderful cruise. The food was excellent. The timing was just right.

アメリカ人の友人と参加しました。とても素晴らしいクルージングでした。料理も最高でした。時間的にもちょうど良い配分でした。
