71 can’t get any better ❣️❣️
Dianne_C, October 2026
It was my 71st birthday and my eldest granddaughter 24 and I I wanted the dinner cruise the sunset. It was a little bit overcast, which is no fault out of your control, but it was really fun and the people aboard were really more than compensated and I’m hard to I can’t maneuver all that well so they were very accommodating to me extremely, I think her name was Alicia. So kudos I l would love to come back if I ever get the chance before I pass this world Dianne Cotta

You may be bumped from your tour with little notice. I received notification within hours of the scheduled tour time my tour was cancelled to accommodate a party that was scheduled to go out the next day.
Response from the operator · prideofmaui There was a hurricane on a track heading for the Hawaiian islands which caused us to ask our guests if they would reschedule to another day. Thankfully, most of our guests understand times like these driven by weather that we are unable to control. We understand your disappointment, as we too were disappointed not to be able to accommodate you, due to the weather that caused us to request that you reschedule to another evening.

It was a nice ride into the sunset, BUT.....
MaryBeth_E, September 2026
This was a nice boat ride into the sunset; however, they fail to tell you that everyone has to STAND throughout the entire dinner and eat on a rocky boat. There are seats up top on the deck but it's too hard to hold you plate, climb the stairs and then hold the plate on your lap and eat. Food was ok but not great. Also the signage to the place could be a lot better. We arrived a couple hours early because of traffic like the instructions told us and had trouble finding it. The address they give is the address to the US Coast Guard Station. After standing around and asking different locals questions and having a few more people show up we figured the dinner cruise was on a boat just down from the US Coast Station. Again, signage is vital when you have no idea where you are going. It would also be helpful to know the name of the boat we are boarding, as there are many boats in the harbor. Be careful too about parking. It's best to park right down by the harbor if you can as it's cheaper than up by the Aquarium. I definitely did not think this was worth the money that we paid.
Response from the operator · prideofmaui I am perplexed and question if you were actually aboard our vessel at all. There is signage where to check-in for our sunset cruise, on the street right next to the Coast Guard station. However, yes, you do need to know the name of the boat you are looking for. If you had booked with us, you would have received a confirmation email, a reminder email the day before, and a third reminder email the morning of the trip, all three with the name of the vessel, how to get to the harbor, where to park, and exactly where to board the boat. There are plenty of tables on our vessel upstairs and more downstairs as well, and more than enough seating, because we only book the vessel to 2/3 of our US Coast Guard capacity. There is no reason why on our vessel you must stand up, other than if you so choose.
