Family, friends, the service, DJ, and everyone’s energy, a great time was had. The fireworks were beautiful. Defiantly, a must for a great evening out with those above or below drinking age. (The group checks IDs and gives out wrist bands)

Maui Luxury Sunset Dinner Sail with Open Bar - Alii Nui Royal Feast Cruise

The best sunset dinner cruise we could have asked for!!

Reviewed by: Emma D, 2022/10/10

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!!!!!!!

Maui Luxury Sunset Dinner Sail with Open Bar - Alii Nui Royal Feast Cruise

I review for my Spouse Dane T. But guess you need us both to review?

Reviewed by: Petrie, 2022/10/01

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.

Fantastic Sunset Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Robert Yamazaki, 2022/02/12

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!

Maui Luxury Sunset Dinner Sail with Open Bar - Alii Nui Royal Feast Cruise

Every penny was worth it!!

Reviewed by: Jessica Pasold, 2022/01/01

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.

Comments from activity operators

Aloha Jessica - Mahalo for the kind words about our charters. We are so thrilled that we could provide an excellent trip for you two on your honeymoon. We are excited to have you back out with us again soon!

Perfect first luau

Reviewed by: Tai, 2021/08/14

Booking through Hawaii activities was the best decision. Not only did I get a discount from their summer coupon but I booked early enough that they were able to secure us a table right upfront, not sure if that’s the reason. Open bar was worth it. The drinks were surprisingly great. The shows were entertaining. The food was ok. I would definitely go back though for sure.

One of the best luaus on Maui hands down!

Reviewed by: Madison L, 2021/08/07

They had open availability after my first luau was cancelled. We were so happy about this because our vacation was revived! They drop their dates some times in the beginning of the month which is how we got our hands on tickets. They sell out quick now so definitely plan your luaus ahead! The food was awesome and the experience matched. The aloha energy was spread all night long throughout every worker we came in contact with. Definitely recommend this luau!

Maui Luxury Sunset Dinner Sail with Open Bar - Alii Nui Royal Feast Cruise

Must do!

Reviewed by: Caitlyn , 2021/07/20

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. :)

  • Professional photo taken on the boat

  • Dinner on the deck - seared tuna, prime rib, potatoes

  • Dinner and a Hawaiian mimosa

Our First Luau

Reviewed by: Reyes Family, 2019/07/10

The location of the luau was perfect for us because it was close. The resort itself is breathtaking and immaculate. We were a party of 12 with 2 young kids and were seated right away. There were several activities for everyone before it got started. We took tons of pictures, most of them being the beautiful sunset. They singing, dancing and overall production was very entertaining. The delicious food and open bar were the icing on the cake. Overall, everyone in our party had a great time.

レイで迎えて頂き、フリードリンクで同席した方と楽しい時間を過ごせました。お料理も品数が多く、食べきれないほど。
ショーも素晴らしく、まだ若いダンサーさんでしたが、情熱あるショーでした! 観客の人もステージで参加したりと、皆んなで共に盛り上げる、素晴らしい時間でした! ラブソングの時にはご夫婦の方々が、踊っておられたのが印象的で、自然と踊りたくなるような、素晴らしいショーでした。
