Hawaii Sailor

There are several departure locations for the Hawaiian dinner cruises on the islands. With the ocean being a big part of the Hawaiian living, be ready to enjoy it whether it is on the water or on a beach. There is an “Aloha spirit” that is felt regardless of which dinner cruise you book or which Island becomes your departure place. Hawaii and its people will be the backdrop to a vacation that you cannot get anywhere else nor experience anywhere else. Hawaiians are gracious and hospital and committed to making your experience memorable, and you will not go home disappointed.

A Maui Departure for your dinner cruise is from Ka’anapali in Maalea harbor. It is adjacent to a very popular resort area and provides convenient access to many of the hotels and other touristy attractions on the Island. Several dinner cruises departing from Maalea harbor travel south along the shore, while others sail from a whaling town called Lahaina in west Mauai. If your cruise departs from Lahaina, you are entitled to a view of the West Maui Mountains. As the afternoon slips by, the trade winds calm and the oceans is usually calm as well, giving you a relaxing sunset cruise.

A OAHU departure is launched out of Honolulu harbor. As you cruise you famous landmarks like Waikiki Beach, the Gold Coast of Kahala, the famous Diamond Head and many other beautiful beaches along the Kahala Coast.

If your departure is from the BIG ISLAND you generally set sail from Kailua/Kona and travel along the Kona coastline. Mauna Loa provides a totally awesome backdrop with her slopes of 13,679 feet. In Hawaiian, the name Kona means “leeward”. Kona has nearly 300 days of sunshine and very seldom experiences inclement weather. Warm and calm waters, sunny days and spectacular sunsets are on the horizon when setting sail from Kona.

For a KAUAI departure, your dinner cruise will leave the harbor at Port Allen. As you travel the Na Pili rugged coastline on the west of Kauai, you are offered a woven tapestry of unique vistas and colors as you pass the brilliant red slopes on shore. Na Pili means “the cliffs” in Hawaiian. The view of Na Pili from the oceans reveals steep bluffs and shores accessible only from the sea. Another dinner cruise departure from Kauai launches at Poipu and heads to Maha ulepu and Kipu Kai. Take the time sit back, breathe in the sea air and relax. Enjoy the views and the sunsets. This is a vacation that will not be forgotten any time soon. As a side trip, you might want to consider a river cruise. Kauai is the only Hawaiian island that has a river which runs through what is the wettest region of all the islands. What a nice addition to an ocean dinner cruise during your vacation. You will view the exact opposites! Ocean dinner cruise shows you the dry and barren vistas to the river cruise which will offer up lush and green tropical rainforest. There aren’t many vacation locations that can offer you such a contrast within it natural beauty.
