Food was amazing. Staff was totally top notch. Captain doubled as emcee for the trip and was appropriately funny without being crass. Bring a light jacket or sweater for the return to harbor. It got a bit chilly at the hight speed of return in the dark.
Wonderful and lovely time! The crew was so friendly and funny- all 6 of us had a blast! Great sailing and loved the onsite photographer that captured some great shots!
“This trip was absolutely fantastic. The food was amazing, and the crew did an outstanding job. The ride was incredibly smooth, and getting on and off the boat was easy—even for two people in their 60s. We truly had a wonderful experience.”
Great staff, very friendly and welcoming. Big shout out to mckenna
All female staff/Captain rock!! Wonderful staff! We left the harbor and it was a bit windy so the Captain decided to pull into an area that was calmer and not windy. We stayed in that cove for the majority of the cruise. Very disappointed. The food was fine. Compared to our other dinner cruises we’ve experienced - this dinner and store bought cake bites for dessert was not to our expectations. I have mobility issues and found that It’s a long walk from the parking lot and where you board. Returning after cruise there a small incline on the way back to the parking lot. Recommend if someone also has mobility issues have your transportation take you closest to the dock. Also check-in is INSIDE the gift shop
We had a lovely smooth cruise. Staff was wonderful and food was good! Captain Emily was great and pointed out turtles and dolphins for us to see. Great on-board photography too.
The ride out of the harbor was very windy, but once out of the harbor we were very comfortable. The food was super good and the service from everyone on board was excellent.
Second time with PACWHALE Dinner Cruise and again it was a great crew. Perfect weather with a sunset. Drinks were very good and it lasted the full 2 1/2 hours. Titus our waiter was above and beyond making sure we were taken care of. Cost is a little high but some of the fee does go towards a worthy cause. Be prepared to pay for parking going out of Maalaea Harbor.
Friendly and informative staff. Beautiful views! Dinner was delicious and served in a calm cove. Very enjoyable!
Despite the wind, it was a great time. Skipper worked his way through wind and rough seas to find a nice, smoother spot for us to enjoy dinner. Food was very nice, service was excellent. A great way to enjoy the sunset with someone special. Just keep your sense of humor about the weather!
