Great tour
This tour is exactly what it says it is. BYOB, they play anything you want to listen to and you see a beautiful sunset. I asked a few questions and the guide was very knowledgeable and kind. I was very happy with the cruise and highly recommend if you want a chill evening on the water.

Worst sunset cruise ever
I’ve done several moonlight cruises with live music and this one has to top it all as the worst one I have ever been on we arrived a hour early to make sure we would have good seating. They set a party ahead of us of 29 People live music consist of people writing down what songs they want to hear and they play it over telephone The captain and the first mate. Tell you nothing about the area they just zooming around the water. The bathroom situation was horrible. I did not use the facilities but every time someone went you could smell raw sewage that would make you wanna throw up. The only best thing about it was the company I was with my husband. The boat had no lights so we had to be in before the sun completely set so you only had about two or three minutes of sunset.

Sunset Dolphin Cruise at HHI
We were switched to the Sunset Dolphin Cruise and we saw a lot of dolphins and some stingrays. The first mate, Kim, was very entertaining. I would recommend this cruise.

Wyatt was a great captain and very knowledgable about the area. It was too cloudy to see a sunset, but there were plenty of dolphins in the area.

Great time!
We had a great time on the Moonligh & Music sunset tour! The atmosphere was fun, we got to request songs we would like to hear. The views were amazing, and we even got to see some dolphins! Captain Kate and first mate Audra made it a fun and relaxing way to send our evening.
