Dream like experience
Fantastic experience! Sunset was so beautiful! They did a wonderful job of cruising along the coast and giving great views of Waikiki and Diamondhead. Topped off by the spectacular view of the sun setting over the ocean. The boat does bounce a lot as you cruise through the waves; be aware if you easily get seasick. But, especially for such a reasonable price, it's an incredible value.
Operator response

We appreciate you mentioning the motion of the boat, as that helps future guests know what to expect. We are so glad you found the trip to be a great value, and we hope to welcome you back for another lovely evening on the water soon.
