Very Good

Prince Kuhio's sunset dinner cruise consistently wins over guests with its intimate atmosphere and surprisingly excellent food. The chef prepares fresh, plated meals right on board, with the mahi mahi and beef short ribs earning particular praise for quality that rivals upscale restaurants. Captain Tracy and the crew get frequent mentions for being welcoming and attentive, creating a relaxed vibe on the smaller boat that feels more personal than larger dinner cruises. Guests love the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki's coastline at sunset, and Friday cruises include fireworks over the water as a bonus. There's a significant caveat about their sunrise breakfast cruise. Multiple guests report last-minute cancellations with minimal communication, and at least one mentions difficulty getting refunds. The dinner cruise seems to be their strong suit and operates much more reliably. If you're set on a breakfast experience, you might want to reach out directly first, but the sunset dinner cruise appears to be a genuinely special experience that regularly exceeds expectations.

What people are saying

After a bit of a hiccup at the start, the cruise was great. The chef cooked a delicious meal. It was fantastic. The crew were amazing. After having such a wonderful time on this cruise we decided to go on the dinner fireworks cruise on 20 February 2026. The day before the cruise we got a text message to say it was cancelled. It said our refund would be done within 48 hours. We're still waiting...April. Not happy.....They don't answer emails or anything.
