Big Island Dinner Cruises

Watch the Big Island Coastline Change with the Evening Light

A dinner cruise gives you a chance to ease into the evening out on the water instead of staying on shore. As the boat leaves the harbor, the coastline opens up, the light softens, and dinner becomes part of the view rather than the whole event.

From Kona, Body Glove Hawaii offers the Captain Cook Historical Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay, with narration, live entertainment, and dinner served on board. Body Glove also runs a Super Raft Sunset Tour with a lighter island-style meal and a more casual feel. On the Kohala Coast, Ocean Sports departs from Anaehoomalu Bay for the Pau Hana Sunset Cruise, where the focus is on the coastline, the evening sky, and drinks from the onboard bar.

Your choice really comes down to the kind of evening you want. The Captain Cook cruise adds more history and a fuller dinner experience, the Super Raft keeps things more relaxed and energetic, and the Pau Hana cruise gives you a laid-back Kohala Coast sunset without making the evening feel too formal.

Whichever route you choose, a sunset cruise is an easy way to end the day with ocean air, changing views, and a little more room to slow down.
