July 3rd Birthday Cruise

Excellent ride. Captain John was expert in explaining what to expect and lived up to expectations. Saw many dolphins in multiple pods before other boats. It was my birthday and everyone on board sang "Happy Birthday "! As an added plus there were fireworks scheduled in the Grand Lagoon so, after everyone on board agreed, the trip was extended until the fireworks were over. They were beautiful seen on the water. An unforgettable experience!!!

Operator response

What a great night! Thanks for sharing with us and we hope to see you again next year for another celebration! Mahalo

Love the BIG Kahuna

If you are looking for a boat that is overcrowded, this is it! The music was great…..the capt was great and knowledgeable and the sunset was BEAUTIFUL

Operator response

Fantastic review! I think you meant to say a boat that IS NOT OVERCROWDED. We specifically limit the passengers to keep it roomy and fun. Mahalo

Absolute blast on the Big Kahuna! You wont regret!

We had an absolute blast w Captain Dave and Aaron! We got moved to the Big Kahuna and it was so great cuz then we had a dance floor! Even the captain was dancing w us!! The 1.5 hours went by so fast! We exchanged numbers w the other couples becoming instant tiki boat friends! We did the normal tiki last year which we loved too but def liked having room to dance and take more pictures better!

Operator response

Our dance floor has seen some moves! We are so happy to hear from our return guests and thrilled that you gave our new big boat a whirl. Mahalo
