Kona: Sunset Dinner Cruise with Dinner Live Music + Cocktail｜United States

Begin your adventure at Kailua Pier, where you board a spacious catamaran and leave the Kona shoreline behind for a scenic cruise along approximately 12 miles of historic coastline.

As volcanic landscapes, sea cliffs, hidden coves, and important coastal landmarks pass by, listen to fascinating stories about ancient Hawaiian royalty, sacred places, legendary battles, and the events that helped shape the history of the island.

Continue south toward magnificent Kealakekua Bay, one of the most scenic and historic locations on the Big Island. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and calm Pacific waters, the bay provides an unforgettable setting for the evening's dinner near the Captain Cook Monument.

Enjoy a Hawaiian-inspired meal featuring island ingredients while taking in the scenery around you. Dinner includes dishes such as local greens with Waimea strawberries, Big Island feta and candied macadamia nuts, sea salt-brined roasted chicken, creamy red mashed potatoes, vegetables, island-style coconut dinner rolls, and dessert.

Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options can also be arranged with advance notice.

As the afternoon light begins to soften, start your return journey along the Kona Coast during golden hour. Relax on deck as the coastline takes on warm shades of gold and the sun slowly approaches the Pacific horizon. Enjoy live entertainment, ocean breezes, and a complimentary cocktail as the sky transforms through brilliant shades of orange, pink, and crimson.

Keep an eye on the surrounding waters along the way, too. Dolphins inhabit the waters around the Kona Coast and may occasionally be spotted during the cruise, although wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed.

After approximately three hours on the water, return to Kailua-Kona with a new appreciation for the history, landscapes, flavors, and natural beauty of Hawaii's Big Island.
