We have been on several dinner cruises in the Chicago area. This cruise was by far the best. It was a perfect way to finish up our vacation. The meal was very good. The crew was friendly and efficient. The entertainment was alot of fun - I wish that part of the experience lasted longer. We were just getting into the groove when the boat pulled into the dock.
Well worth the money.

Our sunset cruise started off on the wrong foot (literally) when we were forced to take our shoes off and wade into the surf to get onto the sail boat. We were unprepared because that's not described in the activity description. However, once we got past that we had a nice time. It's the only way to get a great look at the Waikiki skyline. It was a nice comfortable, slow and relaxing cruise. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. There's a lot of alcohol consumption, so I wouldn't recommend bringing children.

I would like to thank our hawaii activities director ... We thought we had made reservations for Tuesday, June 8, but it turned out that I had made the reservation for Monday, June 7. They came to pick us up at our hotel on Monday, and we weren't ready. I couldn't believe that I had made such a mistake ... I thought I had been really careful to make sure that something like that hadn't happened ... but, I DID make the mistake. The Oahu Cruise people were very understanding, and told me that they would just pick us up on Tuesday. I then called our hawaii activities director and told her about the mistake I had made. She said that there was not a problem, no extra fee, and that she would reschedule me for Tuesday, and fax me a new voucher to our hotel. Talk about service! She was GREAT! The voucher was at our hotel in minutes!
Also, I need to say that this cruise is EXCELLENT! The food was EXCELLENT, and the entertainment was WONDERFUL!
Thanks for everything! We had a GREAT

I was worried because I don't speak much English, but when I participated, the staff kindly served drinks, the view was amazing, and I had a wonderful experience. My family was the only Japanese there.

This was a very enjoyable cruise of Oahu's sunset. We enjoyed the food and entertainment. My husband and I saw flying fish which to us was icing on the cake. The sunset was amazing to watch and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The waiter showed us tricks on disassembling our lobster, which was nice, I didn't want to make a mess. I think the Navatek is the best because of the smoothness and to be able to go into open waters and still remain smooth. This is a wonderful cruise and a great way to end an evening.

It was a more enjoyable cruise than I imagined.
They offered special cocktails, beer, wine, champagne, and free drinks. (There were some foreigners who brought snacks, and it might be even more fun if there were some light snacks available.)
In April, the sunset is at 7 PM! I thought that meant we wouldn't be able to see the sunset at the scheduled time, but they adjusted the return time properly, allowing us to enjoy nearly two hours of cruising with a departure at 5:30 PM and return at 7:30 PM!
It sways more than expected, so if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
There were only five of us Japanese on board, and all the safety instructions (like areas to avoid) were given in English, which I couldn't catch, so I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper in Japanese at the beginning.
There was a lot of lively music playing, and before I knew it, even my father started dancing!
For this price, the fun with free drinks is quite a good value! I highly recommend it!
想像以上に楽しいクルーズでした。
特製カクテル、ビール、ワイン、シャンパンと
フリードリンク。(おつまみ持参の外国人がいて、
何かちょっとしたスナック菓子とかあるとより楽しいかも)
4月の日の入りは、19時!これだと、スケジュールにあった時間ではなく、サンセットがうまく見れないのかと
思いきや、ちゃんと戻りの時間を調整してくれていて、
17:30出港、19:30戻りといった具合に
2時間近くクルージングを楽しめました!
思いのほか揺れるので、船酔いする方は、何か薬を飲んだ
方がいいかもしれません。
私達家族5人しか日本人がおらず、船上での注意事項
(踏み入れちゃいけない場所等の説明があったらしい)も
全て英語で、聞き取れなかったので、最初に日本語で
紙でも渡してくださるといいのでは。。。と思いました。
ノリがいい音楽がたくさんかかり、
気がつけば、父まで踊りだす始末!
この価格で、フリードリンクであの楽しさは、かなりコスパいいですよ!オススメです!

Um... yeah. this was an AMAZING way to start our Oahu vacation. We went as a couple doing the regular package. The food was good- no real complaints there. and you get one drink (that was pretty weak). and there is entertainment. all as one would expect...
but the best part of it was the SUNSET!! Even though it was a little chilly, it was incredibly romantic and we got some nice photos
And we SAW HUMPBACK WHALES!!! about 12-15 of them to be exact. Lots of tail flukes and 4 spy-hopping. We were probably the only couple that saw that many because we ate dinner and then decided to for-go the cheesy entertainment with all the ...tourists, and go up on the deck to make sure we didn't miss the sunset. When we went back in, we were surprised how many people didn't go on the deck, and didn't see ANY whales!!
TIPS: Arrive early to get a dinner table by the window. Don't waste your time with the cheesy entertainment, the sunset is what makes this trip worth it (and whales!!). Also, get

We went on the Dinner Cruise for our anniversary and it was so enjoyable. They had some great entertainment (singer and dancers). The food was wonderful as well. But to top of our evening we were able to spot some dolphins swimming and jumping along side the boat. Could not have had a better experience and would definitely do this again.

The ship departed with nearly 30 passengers on board. The sunset, just before it disappeared, was truly beautiful. However, shortly after boarding, I found it difficult to hold in my need to use the restroom, which was quite challenging. I held on for a while but didn’t realize there was a portable toilet available. The foreign guests were drinking and having a great time, chatting a lot. I would like to learn from them.
約30?名ほどの満席に近い状態で、出港しました。
夕日が、落ちる間際が本当にきれいでした。が、乗った早々トイレを我慢出来なくなり大変でした。しばらく我慢をしていましたが・・・簡易トイレがあることが分からず・・・
外人さんは、飲んで騒いで・・・本当によく話をしていました。見習いたいです。

We wanted to do something special for our Anniversary. We're celebrating 6 years. We've never done anything like this.
Taking the Navatek was a nice experience.
We had the best seat. We recommend paying extra for the window seat its worth it. And the Sunset was soo Awesome. I was worried about getting sea sick I'm sorta sensitive, But I was uneffected. I did not get sick :)
I've lived in Hawaii my whole life and my Husband has been here for over 10 years so we see beautiful senaery everyday, And I've danced hula and tahitian Yet, Its just nice to get away and enjoy Hawaii for yourself...
We had a Great Time and would Do it Again :)
Maybe next time we'll take my Mom in Law I think she'd love it!

We had a great sunset and a full moon rising which made it extra special.

Since it was a cloudy day in Oct., we didn't really get a spectacular sunset, but that's not the cruise company's fault. The ride to Diamondhead and back was nice. Staff was very friendly, and the hula/ singing show was pretty good. The big bus picked us up a block away from our hotel, so we didn't have to deal with trying to find the boat, or parking. A big plus!

We took a couple of photos and one of the other guests offered to take a photo op for us.... After seeing the picture she took of us, we realized what that picture could be! "something much more." as in, a Save the Date type of photo.....

This was our first time to Hawaii and wanted it to make it special. I booked the dinner not knowing what to expect. Come to find out we had a great time. We did the 3 Star dinner with the Lobster and Steak and it didn't disappoint. If you have the money its the best way to go. What really impressed me was the fact that we got caught up watching the view from the outside deck dinner was already served and almost all the guest had finished their meal. Our server Clifford was nice enough to keep our meal in the kitchen and brought it to our table when we sat. The show was great and the audience particpation at the end was fun. They also had a 2 man band playing local island music as we enjoyed our dinner. My wife and I agreed that the next trip(whch we are already planning) will include this cruise again. It's a nice way to see Waikii coastline with Diamond head at the top.

The boat lost engine power in the middle of going back to shore. Apparently there was some water in the fuel so we ended up staying out till about 8:30 or 9:00 with screaming children. It was fun other than the engine giving out. They said it had never happened before which is probably true but nevertheless, it wasn't as pleasant as I had hoped.

My husband and were first time visitors to Hawaii and this seemed like a nice thing to do. We got the 3 star package with the celebration plan and definitely had a great time. This was our last planned event during our stay and it was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Hawaii. We were quickly shown to our table and the dinner service went smoothly from there. We went up to the deck above several times to check out the view of Waikiki Beach all the way down to Diamond Head. Dinner was wonderful (although a little messy since we had the lobster) and the entertainment (a jazz duo with a saxophonist for a couple numbers) during dinner was lovely. We came back to our table at one point to find the photo they took right after we boarded sitting in a very nice cover on our table, free with the package we ordered. The show after dinner was quite entertaining, especially when they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing in one big mass of people, it was so much fun!
