Had an amazing first time! Beautiful Sunset views, great way to get that sun-kissed photo op! Very friendly and informative staff, made the ride fun. We even got to see whales! I will definitely book again!

The crew did a great job and we had some beautiful sunset views. We spotted whales and the crew was very good about moving the boat to see them and even stayed out a little longer to view the whales. I would recommend!

    We had an incredible time on our sunset cruise! Captain Hollis and the rest of the crew were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and full of great information about the sights and history along the way. The views of Diamond Head and the Waikīkī skyline were absolutely stunning as the sun set over the ocean. The boat was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the whole experience felt relaxed and well-organized. Great hospitality, beautiful scenery, and an unforgettable evening on the water. Highly recommend!

    I enjoyed the crew being kind. Maybe we can see whales...

    Ayumi_O, Nov 2025
    I enjoyed the crew being kind. They even took me to a spot where I thought I might see whales, which was great service. I thought I could have gotten more information about Waikiki if I was cruising this trip at the beginning.
