5.00The tour was hosted by 2 captains and a small crew. We were welcomed with great hospitality and took the time to explain how sailing was done by the stars 🌟 excellent crew excellent ship 🚢 excellent time. The firework show was like the icing on the cake. If you decide to book this tour, there is one more surprise that you will get. But you have to be there. Aloha and Mahalo.

5.00Very friendly crew and a smooth ride. Our captain did his best to get us near an unexpected breaching whale at the end of the season and we still made it in position to see the lovely fireworks.
Great dinner and fireworks cruise

5.00We booked this excursion for a romantic night on the sea with a beautiful view of the fireworks. We got so much more than that, the crew saw whales breaching and sped off to get closer so we could all see! It was an amazing experience that I highly recommend! Did I also mention free drinks??
Disappointing Experience

2.00Start with the food, very nice but the size was that of a 5 star dining experience. Entire mud cake piece would fit on a parfait spoon easily, laughable. 3 course snack sizes & tickets not cheap. Theme was not carried through out the night. Each spoke a little of their skills, then 1 only 10min visit to our table, not as advertised. Needed to have other things going on while eating. Due a card, color etc etc. Disappointing night for what we both had resumed from what we read we would our experience.
This was a great...

5.00We actually did three tours with Hawaii nautical. Started with the whale watching in the morning, then snorkeling with sea turtles, finishing the night with the dinner cruise. The staff was awesome (same all day) and very fun to hang out with and chat with. We luckily were able to see a whale shark which made the evening that little bit more special, but enjoyed even hearing the safety briefing 3 times as captain chris put a funny spin on ch time. If you have the chance, don’t waste your time looking at other options, go with these guys, same staff or not they are the best choice.
Fun but not worth the price

4.00The crew (Chris Nicole and ...) were lovely, the drinks were good and the fireworks (though brief) were great. The food however was not worth the money and difficult to eat.
