Great experience! Crew...

Christopher_K, Jan 2026
Great experience! Crew and food were great. Snorkelling was fun. The bonus whale watching was awesome!

Mahalo for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the crew, food, snorkeling, and the bonus whale watching. We hope to have you back again soon!

Highly recommend - relaxing cruise

Pamela_M, Nov 2025
Crew was fantastic. Friendly, kind, thoughtful. Boat was very comfortable. Plenty of seats, shade if you wanted it. We were lucky to see humpbacks spouting and sea turtles.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Mahalo for the stellar review, Pamela! We truly appreciate your recommendation and time to share such a lovely experience. It sounds like whale watching season is starting early this year and we're so happy you were on board to experience it with Ali'i Nui! Mahalo nui loa & a hui hou kakou! (Thank you very much & until we meet again!)

Tes_T, Dec 2024
Amazing experience. Partner got motion sick and the crew worked to make him feel comfortable and still enjoy the excursion as much as possible.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for choosing to sail with Ali'i Nui, Tes! I'm sorry to hear that the waves effected your partner during your visit, but thrilled that our team was still able to make it a great day out at Molokini for you both! Mahalo nui loa & a hui hou kakou! (Thank you very much & until we meet again!)
