5.00Great night in the water. Very attentive crew. Generous pours in drinks and we were offered food (chicken teriyaki with rice) which wasn’t noted in the offering so a bonus. Make sure you have good parking directions - the map on the description took us to the wrong place.
Great trip

5.00This was an amazing tour with a fantastic crew. Captain Rob, Nicole and Kuapapa(sp) were the best crew. They took amazing care of us with handcrafted cocktails and a nice little meal and great snacks. They even brought the dreams to us!! This is an awesome adventure as you spend time actually sailing with no motor noise. Captain Rob made sure we got great views of the sunset for both sides of the boat. The trip out and the trip back doesn’t take long. Just be aware they have a no shoes on the boat policy and you go out to the catamaran by boat. Loved it!!
It wasn't a full sunset...

5.00This cruise is accessed by a tender boat right off the beach. You have to leave your shoes off, and step up a couple steps to board the tender. It was pretty easy. It is a little bit of a walk from the parking area at Lava Lava beach club, which was fine on the walk there....coming back after dark was more challenging, make sure your phone has a flashlight! The lighting is horrible at the beach club, even with our phone light it was tricky finding our way back safely.
Pleasant sunset sail

4.00Pleasant sunset sail with cheerful crew. Sail location by Waikoloa Marriott. Good list of drinks, but (somehow) everyone was served a mai tai whether you asked for one or not. The trip was expensive, in my opinion. To save money book through the Hawaii Nautical website only, other "brokers" will charge more.
Enjoyable experience. The...
