Fake advertisement

Miriam_F, Jul 2024
It was a fun experience BUT I had other expectations like the add said. The boat it’s not the same as the pictures. For a moment hit felt like they overbooked the boat. We didn’t get to take a seat on the boat of how crowded it was.for a moment in the beginning of the ride I felt super unsafe. The 2 free drinks you get tastes like water and you can only get those free drinks with ur ticket if u wanted something else u had to pay for it. The girls were super friendly But there was this guy curly dark hair SUPER RUDE. Music was okay. They only played techno. We took our own drinks but we didn’t see nobody drinking their own drink so we didn’t want to get in trouble we had to buy $5 drinks. it was fake advertisement but overall my brother and gf had a good time (age 24-24) me (32) had a good time but I was looking for something else. Not my crowd of people.

No swimming false advertising

joanna_c, May 2024
Fun times and amazing views with beautiful blue water but I chose this specific experience for the swimming as that was advertised in the title and description. No swimming was allowed so it did not fulfill my experience. Talking to others on the boat some of their tickets also said swimming but others did not. There was miscommunication and false advertising somewhere.

Response from Host, May 2024

Mahalo for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the views but We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience about swimming. We allow swimming on our vessels if the weather permits. Our captain has made the hard decision to not allow swimming on your cruise due to unsafe water conditions. Please contact our us at (808) 554-0376, and We'll do our best to make it right. We hope to have the opportunity to cruise with you again in the future. Mahalo!

Fun time with a twist

Chelsea_W, Feb 2024
The experience was great but the description was misleading. It is not BYOB and the 2 free drinks was a premade drink that was made

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Aloha Chelsea, thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any confusion regarding the BYOB policy and the complimentary drinks. We'll work on clarifying the description to ensure accurate expectations. Nonetheless, we're delighted you enjoyed the overall experience and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future!

Party is cruise ever

Doris_D, Feb 2024
We had a great time best DJ on the island and the staff was very responsive because I ended up getting motion sickness and they took very good care of me shout out to the team

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Mahalo!

FUN

Tana_R, Feb 2024
We had a great time and the staff was wonderful and fun! Would highly recommend. Thank you so much! :)

Great crowd of people but...

Susan_S, Jan 2024
Great crowd of people but was a little disappointed they pulled into the dock early; especially when we left passed 5pm. We should of had at least 45 more minutes on the water. Other than that, it was great!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for joining us and for your feedback! We apologize for the early return to the dock; sometimes the weather can be unpredictable and create unsafe conditions. We appreciate your understanding and hope to provide you with an even better experience next time!

Would not recommend for over 25 crowd

Ebonie_P, Jan 2024
This cruise is for people who are 21-25…and look like the folks on the picture. We were not clear on what time to arrive as the emails said “start” time not “arrival time”-I had to call to get clarification. You check in at 5 and it starts at 530. Also not clear-where to go to check in. I called the office for clarification-I did not receive clear directives from the office staff. He kept saying things like the “street name” or “near the entrance” what would have been more helpful for out of towners like myself would have been clear directives like “near the high rises or near the water.” When we finally found the office it had a horrible smell. The guy at the front desk was rude and sarcastic. He told us “you received a Map to the office in your email about where to go”-I pull up my email in front of him-no map. Do you think he apologized? Nope. He continued to make sarcastic remarks like “how did the rest of the people find it” etc Absolutely no apologies or empathy about our difficulty with finding the office. We literally walked around 30 mins lost. The boat does not look like what’s pictured. It looks more like a boat you would take for a tour. Warning-you may get very wet. They do have security on board so that was a plus. And the free drinks are koolaid with no sugar and 1 teaspoon of alcohol. The music is primarily techno, popish with a few rap songs mixed in there (but not too much of course) I would not recommend this trip for anyone over 25, especially not 30s and up-especially if your looking for professional customer service in the office. The crew on board said some odd things in the beginning of the cruise. They did go over safety protocol somewhat so that was a plus.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Aloha! We apologize for the confusion and challenges you faced during check-in. Your feedback is valuable, and we'll use it to improve our communication and customer service. We're sorry that the boat didn't meet your expectations and that the free drinks weren't satisfactory. We appreciate your honesty and hope for the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to call us at (808) 664-0376. Mahalo!

Amazing Time

Sherman_P, Aug 2023
The crew and the music/DJ made the BYOB Paradise amazing. All the songs were on point and allowed everyone to have a good time. You could dance, drink, and take a little swim. Definitely a must do experience.

Magical Sunset Cruise

Harvey_J, May 2023
Don't sleep on this one. Amazing crew that will get the party started off right. Listen....if you want a Sunset to lay back with just the sound of the ocean, this is not the cruise for you. This is a Party!!!! Just enjoy the fun and Sunset like a RockStar!!!

Best life experience

Tina_P, Feb 2023
I loved this it was an amazing experience. The crew was wonderful n thank y’all so much . This was an incredible experience

Good vybz and music....

Naline_P, Dec 2022
Good vybz and music. Captain and his team were friendly. Love it. The waves were a bit rough, if you have sea sick I don’t recommend.

We danced to the music...

Cathy_B, Nov 2022
We danced to the music and sang along to the songs. Many of us went into the water. Some paddle boarded and snorkeled. The sunset was beautiful and so was the view

Had a good time!

Christina_P, Oct 2022
I had a great experience! We had to go barefoot to get on. The music was more daddy Yankee, Megan the Stallion, Jordan Houston/ Paul Beauregard but my group was brand new 21 yr Olds & a few of us 30+ club. I had a great time on a Thursday! The operators & the dj were great hosts! Don't forget party starts at 4:30 not 5:30 if Viator hasn't changed it!

Not What you Expect

Sarah_M, Aug 2022
The view of the sunset was amazing, staff was friendly, and music was good. False advertisement of what the actual boat looked like and what the activities on the boat included in the package. The experience was still fun, and my friend and I had a good time

Seeing sunset while...

Andy_C, Jun 2022
Seeing sunset while swimming and listening to the DJ’s music was definitely a memorable experience . Thank you to all the crew members for making it a blast.

Wasn’t aware that it was...

Kari_S, May 2022
Wasn’t aware that it was beer and not bring your own liquor/wine. Great DJ, positive vibes but not for an older crowd. It has to be what you make it-for example the group we came with brought a beer bong.

Please book if you’re looking to have a BLAST

Marshea_W, Oct 2021
The host and the dj were perfect! This was such a vibe. Definitely one of my favorite activities so far!
