All in all, this is a fairly inexpensive way to spend an evening in Hawaii and as long as your expectations aren't high you will be OK. I feel that the advertisement grossly exaggerates the experience though.

"Romantic"- nope, not really. Its you and 20 other people crammed onto a motorboat screaming kids and all for an hour ride. Wine is served in plastic Solo cups, nowhere to sit except the floor... did I mention the screaming kids?

"Sail"- nope, not at all. This was my biggest disappointment since we really wanted to go on a sail. Though technically it may classify as a sailboat (and the photos in the ads clearly show a sailboat), there is no mast, no sail. It's just a boat-ride.

"Champagne"-yep, in romantic plastic cups. But it was there.

"Sunset"- this part is true

The staff were quite friendly and helpful, can't comment on the food because I didn't try it but it looked like there was plenty. Didn't see any dolphins or mermaids like some of the other suspiciously positive reviews but can't fault the company for that, it's a matter of luck. They were a little disorganized but not to the point I think it will cause any problems.

It wasn't a bad time, I just felt the title was misleading. And again, for the price it's not a bad deal for Hawaii just don't expect to be floored. You'll be asked to post a positive review, best to just be honest.
