Overall rating

The trip was great. Nice being out on the ocean. Catamaran felt safe. Captain and crew were friendly and competent. Lots to drink plus snacks. Always a beautiful sunset. Highly recommended. Would do it again. Mahalo!

We had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. We had a one year old and three year old with us, and the whole family had a great time. The crew was amazing, the boat was clean, and the drinks were strong. My husband usua ... lly gets sea sick, but this was the first time he was completely fine. The boat is big and stable. The crew had several drink choices, snacks, and even brought out teriyaki rice bowls for everyone. They let my three year drive the boat, which made his whole trip. We’re definitely going again on this next time we’re on the Big Island.

Great crew, very friendly and provided a fantastic sunset!

Family trip to HI and topped it off with a great sunset cruise. Thank you to the staff for smooth sailing and a wonderful sunset. Definitely recommend this tour on every vacation to HI.

Minimum Notice for Cancellations / Changes: At least 48 hours before the start of the event.

Waikoloa sunset cruises are a great way for people who are staying at one of the Kohala Coast resorts on the Big Island of Hawaii to get out and experience the ocean. For those who are active enough to snorkel, we would suggest one of these same boats for a Waikoloa snorkel trip instead, and for most guests they will do one or the other … but not both.

If you do wish to snorkel AND go out on a sunset cruise, we'd suggest a snorkel experience on the Fair Wind II or Captain Zodiac rafting and then do one of these sunset cruises.

Which one of these boats to reserve? Well, Spirit of Aloha runs nightly, so it is a LOT easier for us to get you space on that vessel, as long as you are planning at least a few weeks ahead of time. Sea Smoke and Spirit of Aloha are both sailing catamarans, which will be most people's preference. Sailing really adds a nice touch to the evening. Alala is a powered catamaran that USED to be a sailing catamaran. The mast was removed though as it was really a monster of a rig and no doubt expensive to maintain for the amount of use they were getting out of the sails. The one advantage that Alala has though is that it leaves from a dock at Kawaihae Harbor. It's a good option for people who don't want to get their feet wet and sandy before boarding, or would have difficulty walking on the beach.

• Chevron down About Hawaii Nautical

Hawaii Nautical is one of Hawaii’s largest ocean-activity providers, with a fleet of vessels island-wide serving many harbors across Oahu and the Big Island. We believe in delivering service, safety, and the spirit of Aloha.

We respect the ocean and the ecosystem; we follow strict guidelines so that all marine mammals and wildlife are protected. And we honor the host-culture and support the local communities in which we operate.

We want the natural environment you enjoy today to be here tomorrow, and for every tomorrow after.

That’s why we are Hawaii’s first Dolphin Smart-recognized operator. NOAA’s Dolphin Smart educates guests about dolphin conservation and harassment and advises not to seek activities that pursue close interactions like swimming with dolphins in Hawaii in the wild.

We also follow the guidelines of the Coral Reef Alliance, to establish lasting change and promote coral reef health around the world. That includes sustainable practices — such as no fish-feeding. Coral conservation aims to save these valuable ecosystems, unite communities and preserve cultural identity.

We’ve been wowing guests of all ages for decades in Hawaii. While there’s lots of excitement around our activities, we practice the highest level of safety in everything we do. We treat guests like ohana, the Hawaiian word for family that permeates everything we do.

Dolphin SMART

Sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Dolphin SMART educates guests about dolphin conservation and advises not to seek activities that pursue close interactions with wild dolphins.

NOAA cautions against swimming with wild dolphins, as it may constitute harassment, which is illegal under federal law. Additionally, per NOAA,  “manta rays are inherently vulnerable ” and are on the Threatened Species list; swimming near them day or night disrupts their natural feeding patterns.
