👍👍 Great whale watching tour with breakfast. Both were pretty good. Captain and staff were very friendly. Captain found us a couple of whales, dolphins and sea turtles. It was very choppy due to wind but they worked hard to make it enjoyable. It was cheaper than other tours and seemingly better.

    We thoroughly enjoyed this dinner cruise. We signed up for a dinner cruise but we also got an unexpected bonus of whale watching. This was a unique experience for whale watching. When we saw the whales, captain Tracy made sure to follow them. We even had a whale come up along the boat and blow right on to us. The meal was excellent and the wait staff did an amazing job making us feel very special. Everything about this evening was beautiful including the breathtaking sunset.

    My wife and I just finished spending two weeks in Oahu and both of us rated this dinner cruise as the highlight of our trip. John and the rest of the crew were extremely friendly and professional. They truly wanted us to have a memorable experience. We both highly recommend if you are staying in Honolulu that you go on this cruise. You will not be disappointed!

    We did the Friday firework boat tour had a great time! Parking and the dock were easy to find. It was quite windy that night so it was very wavy. We noticed some people got seasick before dinner was served so make sure you take medication before! (It is noted in the confirmation email as well). The sunset was beautiful. it was almost 3 hours long and firework was about 5 mins long. There are 2 dinner options both served with salad and dessert. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    We went on the breakfast cruise. Captain and staff were very friendly and were happy to share their knowledge and love of Hawai’i. The tour was informal and felt comfortable, like a boat trip with friends. Views of Waikiki were fabulous! It’s the ocean, so it can get a bit choppy, make sure you are good with that before you go.

    I went on the dinner cruise with a few other people. An important thing to know is that it’s BYOB, but they have mixers and sodas. The views were amazing and provided great photo opportunities. I would recommend taking Dramamine if you get easily seasick. They offer a three course meal which includes salad, entree and dessert. The main course options are seafood, beef or a vegetarian option. I had the beef and it was pretty good. However my food was served late and I had to remind them, and they let me take the rest to go. The staff were very friendly and contributed to a fun atmosphere onboard. Shoutout to Mikey. I’d recommend it to anyone.

    I live on island and have booked the sunset cruise a few times. However, after tonight's cruise I cant say I'd ever spend my money here again. The boat was supposed to leave at 5:30; however, at 6:00 the crew informed us that the captain was still on his way.....we left an hour late, started the meal while still docked, and completely missed the sunset. Overall, just not a good experience. Photo for reference, just look at how beautiful that sunset is 🙃

    The sunset dinner cruise was an added treat to help celebrate the end of our wedding week with friends. The sunset and views were truly exceptional and priceless. The crew was attentive and dinner was excellent. I highly recommend the dinner cruise for couples or friends looking for a relaxing evening.

    We took the sunset dinner cruise on October 22, 2023. The whole trip was awesome. From the fun crew to the really good drinks! (At the time that we cruised it was BYOB, so they were really, really good!) The crew had everything we needed right on time. The food was the best part of the cruise, other than the sunset. I think that having an onboard chef made a huge difference in the quality of the dinner. The Mahi-Mahi with avocado sauce was so delicious, I really didn't want to share with my husband. I had to share if I wanted to get a few bites of the tender short ribs, which practically melted in your mouth! We had such a good time. We just wish we had more time on the island to enjoy more of their cruises. Thank you, Prince Kuhio crew, for a wonderful evening!

    This dinner tour was amazing! We originally thought that with the weather during the day that it would wreck our experience. But it did not. We did the sunset dinner cruise and we were not disappointed (I mean we missed pictures of the sunset only because we saw a whale) which he took us as close to as possible to take photos of. The staff are beyond 10/10. They are so friendly and awesome. You’d be crazy not to go for a dinner tour with them. One of the best experiences I had in Hawaii!

    The sunset cruise with dinner was simply amazing! We came from overseas for a holiday and the cruise was a fantastic way to see the beautiful coastline of Honolulu during sunset. The chef prepared dinner was delicious and beyond expectations and the crew were very friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

    Amazing!!!!! We booked the morning breakfast cruise but we weren’t able to go out. Captain switched us over to the dinner cruise for no extra charge. Amazing experience for my girlfriend and I! Food was excellent! Highly recommend making the time to go out with this amazing crew!

    Had a really great time with my friends during the sunset cruise. The food was comprised of a 3 course meal. I ordered the beef and it was amazing! The captain also went slightly out of the route to show us some whales. Overall, it as a very great and unique experience. Definitely a must-try in Honolulu!

    We didn't plan to book a cruise until lunch of the very evening we intended to do a dinner cruise. The first site I found was booked, and then I found Prince Kuhio Tours. As fate would have it, this was very good happy accident. We couldn't have asked for a better dinner cruise. The crew greeted us and checked us in, including the captain welcoming us onto the boat. All we needed to bring was ourselves, maybe a jacket for the crosswinds, and our favorite adult beverage(s). (And motion sickness medicine, if you need it.) The rest of the crew would soon take care of us while we enjoyed awesome views of the sunset going over the ocean, and the various colors it was putting out on the water and on the downtown scene of Waikiki. The buildings were glittering with all kinds of sunset colors. The cruise path is a bit high-traffic with other boats around us, but it was still beautiful. The food was delicious. We had a few options to choose from to accommodate vegetarians and meat eaters. We started with a nice salad with a few options for dressing. We chose the fresh catch. It was served with a creamy coconut white sauce over rice and with veggies. Dessert was served as well, and it was a yummy cheesecake. Once the boat makes it to the end of Waikiki, it turns around and very slowly goes back to the slip where we started. The crew was all very friendly and helpful. They even did a good job of entertaining us a bit as well. (That's not something that you'd expect with this kind of dinner cruise.) When you go, I recommend getting there early so you can get the spot you want. I'd suggest going to the second deck, and sit on the port side. You'll have a great view of the sun going down on the way out, and a great view of the city lit up in the dark on the way back. You won't worry about getting your favorite photos.

    Took me awhile to do this, and I never leave google reviews. But during my week in Hawaii, I will say this boat tour with an amazing dinner was by far my favorite. Everyone on the cruise was so kind and attentive, I never carry cash I felt awful because they all deserved a very large individual tip. Captain John and Mr. Keith were also incredible to talk to and hear their stories. Thank you gentleman! When I come back, I plan to do this cruise again! Oh and let’s not forget to highlight the food, because that fish was fresh caught prepared on board and was on of the best pieces of fish I have ever had!!!!!

    I highly recommend Prince Kuhio Tours. We took took the sunset dinner cruise. The Captain and Crew were super friendly and helpful. The food was really good. The views were amazing!!

  • 5/5 Polina M. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a fantastic breakfast experience!!! The food was incredible, and the waitor/deck hand Brennar was incredibly friendly. The captain, John, was also fantastic and great to chat with. Interestingly, the coffee (as someone who only drinks black coffee, it was very, very smooth) was from the captain's farm in Kona! The views were absolutely spectacular, and it was a great start to a honeymoon! We will definitely be back for the dinner cruise!

    Best experience I ever had. First time in Hawaii & on a cruise. The captain and crew were amazing. The chef’s cooking was delicious!! We ordered the mahi mahi. We did the dinner on a Friday evening and we were able to see the fireworks that start at 8PM. The views were indescribable. Best impulsive decision we ever made. Mahalo to the captain, chef & crew !

    I have to say a special thank you to the crew, especially Bo. My sister was immediately seasick and he provided her helpful advice and took great care of her the entire time. Aside from that, the food was amazing. Chef's kiss! We had the catch of the day. My sister's food was boxed up since she couldn't eat it. So we'll know how the beef is when she is able to eat again. This experience is worth it for the views of the coastline and Waikiki alone. The great food is an added bonus. Oh! There was a photographer who took a nice photo of us as we entered. We were pleasantly surprised that the price for the photo was very reasonable. Thank you again!
