    Date Night
    Chentelle B.

    Had a great evening; date night with my husband. Whether you're visiting Hawaii or live here on Oahu. This was a great experience to see our island from a different view. It was a great experience to be surrounded by great people who loved Hawaii. The staff was amazing and the food was delicious. The Chef made an appearance and shared the menu - The fireworks of course was spectacular. Great Food, Great Service & Beautiful Views, highly recommended.

The food was on point thanks to chef cater. The service was AMAZING. Shout out to my girls Ally, Lily and Alex. Yall rocked and killed it. Please keep that vibe and energy always. Yall bring ao much light and radiant energy. Big shout out to captain Phil for such great hospitality and for inviting us.

    We were a group of 6 and had a fabulous time. The dock is well marked and has benches to sit on should you arrive early. Check in was easy and they take a picture with the boat as the background as you board. Def try to sit on the right side of the boat so that you get the sunset as you cruise out and a great night view as you cruise back. Food was great and service was wonderful. Def would do this again!

    If you get the opportunity to cruise with these folks DO IT!!! The absolute best food and music and the vibes are so fun. The crew will take amazing care of you. Do not forget to BYOB they will whip up the best cocktails for you and I promise you the food is out of this world!!! I loved every minute! Bring your friends and have the best night ever! Can't wait to come back soon

    In Hawaii on vacation and our travel agent suggested this company for a sunset cruise! This was a very nice cruise to Diamond Head parallel to the Waikiki Shoreline. Check-in and dinner selections occurred seamlessly. Once ready to go, the captain taught us about Waikiki beach & the history of the area --- all the while, the on-board chef was preparing everyone's dinners. It was a BYOB cruise and NO alcohol provided. The entrees seemed to take a little longer than what was expected -- however, there was just one chef in the galley! They were definitely well prepared and tasted delicious! The crew was definitely on top of things and took VERY good care of all the cruise guests. The captain even pointed out various types of sea-life as we cruised toward Diamond Head. The sunset made for beautiful pictures! The music was a nice touch, too! MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

    Don't go if you get seasick lol especially since the ride is slow so you feel everything. I did take Dramamine but ended up so drowsy lol my mom had to take her food to go because she just could not handle it she was super seasick. A few others were running to the bathroom due to being seasick. I can see this being super enjoyable, If you do not get seasick. The wait for dinner took longer than I expected, from leaving the port it wasnt until 1 hour and half until we got our dinner. Some get there's first depending on if you chose fish or steak. The staff was nice and chef was too the food I'd rate 5 out of 10 . The views were also amazing. The captain was trying to do some stand up comedy I think, which didn't land at our group lol either way he got us there and back safe so can't complain. I loved the photos they took of my mom and I before we got on the boat, they were only $20.

    nice iconic photo with diamond head

    My husband, Mom, & I had an amazing experience with Prince Kuhio's dinner sunset cruise. Stunning views of diamond head & sunset!!!!! Would love to send my compliments to the chef! The fish of the night was mahi mahi. He prepared it very well & the meal was absolutely delicious. The captain was positive and enthusiastic, which was appreciated. Most notably, the crew, Avi, Luna, & Ian, was amazing, they were quick to action, they loved taking photos for ALL on the boat, and they were extremely kind, helpful, & friendly. We truly enjoyed our experience & I recommend this cruise for all! Perfect for date nights, for a family excursion, or a lil solo night. 5/5 would go again!

    Great experience. Magnificent staff that worked to make our experience unforgettable. Delicious food, & gorgeous scenery. Cater alongside other chef Matt prepared a meal worth having even on shore while visiting Ohau. BYOB was nice because we were able to have what we wanted to drink. Captain was witty and clever. Lily, Ally & Avi were an awesome crew and worked as a kind and caring team to take care of all the guests.

    A view of Waikiki

    I travel to Hawaii a lot and this was one of the most fun experiences in Waikiki. The boat and the staff were outstanding. The crew really made the cruise a lot of fun! I believe this is one of the only ships that travels with an onboard chef and the food was absolutely exceptional! I have never had fish that fresh and the people in our group that had the short rib also said it was exceptional. I have also seen the sunset many times from the beach, but this is the first time from a boat and it was an entirely new experience not to be missed. The views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the water or also unbelievable. I'll include a few pictures so you can see it. I'm also looking forward to booking the breakfast cruise and whale watching because I've also heard great things about those as well from my friends that have done it.

    Here she is!

    We had an amazing experience on this Friday night sunset dinner cruise with fireworks!! From the moment we boarded the Prince Kuhio, our service and the staff were exceptional! The captain greeted everyone and his crew went over the top to ensure a memorable experience!! It was a perfect Waikiki evening to cruise the waters and see the beautiful scenery! Our dinner salads, short ribs, and ahi dinners were prepared perfectly and the dessert was a nice treat. To cap the evening cruise off, anchoring in front of the fireworks display made for the perfect evening!! Thanks to the entire crew - you were amazing!! We definitely recommend this company and cruise for the best Hawaii experience!!

    Sunset

    We had an amazing experience on this tour. The staff were very attentive and extremely sweet and helpful! Alex took amazing pictures of my family and I! The food was great and the views were amazing. We got front row seats for the fireworks and beautiful sunset. I definitely recommend this for couples and families with children.

    The boat itself was much smaller than we were expecting. The staff was very nice! The food was amazing! I do wish there was a/c or a fan at the least in the indoor seating area as it was very hot/humid and stuffy in there. I don't normally get motion sickness but unfortunately I got sick while on the boat a little after dinner but I was able to gather myself just in time to watch the fireworks show! It was such a beautiful view to see the fireworks and city view. I would go on this boat ride again, but will definitely be more prepared with the motion sickness part.

I know the tour doesn't guarantee seeing wildlife, but it was disappointing hardly seeing anything in the glass bottom. To add, the glass bottom is just 4 boxes that you have to peek over to see. I didn't get seasick, so it was still nice to be out on the water and enjoying the views of the ocean. Prior to the incident, the captain was very educational and funny. Overall, had the tour been on a different day with more permitting weather, I think it would've been great.

It was quite confusing to find the meetup point at the beginning, but asking the hotel staff did help us getting there. We went on the high-tide day so needed to walk a bit from the usual boarding area. Probably helpful to remind people wearing slippers as you'd need to take shoes off. They did provide proper and plenty storage spaces for your footwear on the boat (appreciated!). Drinks were pretty much bottomless and they had their very own Mai Tai so you could really enjoy the 'complete Hawaiian package'! The only problem with high tide day, it meant be prepped to get wet and going on and off the boat would be quite tricky as you needed to manage timing to avoid the tide from getting you soaking wet. I was unfortunately not the pro and literally got half-bottom wet, getting off the boat LOL. Paid off by the gorgeous sunset view!!

From the moment we arrived, their team demonstrated a level of professionalism that immediately stood out. The check-in process was seamless, the safety briefing was clear and thorough, and the equipment was in excellent condition. You could tell they run a tight operation -- everything felt structured, efficient, and well thought out without ever feeling rushed. What truly elevated the experience was how intellectual the tour felt. The guides weren't just there to point out turtles; they shared fascinating insights about marine ecosystems, turtle behavior, conservation efforts, and local oceanography. Their knowledge added so much depth to the adventure. It felt like a marine biology mini-masterclass -- but one where you're actively swimming through the lesson. And speaking of active -- this is not a passive, float-around experience (which we loved). As a very active couple, we appreciated the energy and pace. There was plenty of swimming, exploring, and maneuvering through the water, and the guides kept the vibe upbeat and engaging the entire time. They matched our enthusiasm and made sure we got the most out of every moment in the water. The atmosphere was fun, vibrant, and full of positive energy. The team clearly loves what they do, and that enthusiasm is contagious. We left feeling exhilarated, accomplished, and genuinely grateful for such a well-run adventure--we left having seen many turtles, Hawaiian spinner dolphins, a stingray and plenty of fish in a natural setting. If you're the kind of couple that prefers movement over lounging, learning over just observing, and meaningful experiences over generic tours -- Island Splash Turtle Tours is absolutely worth it. Professional. Knowledgeable. Energetic. And incredibly fun. We would book again in a heartbeat.

They struck the perfect balance of being attentive while still letting everyone enjoy the experience naturally. We felt extremely safe the entire time, and they were just genuinely joyful humans to spend the morning with. And I have to mention the turtles. We saw at least eight.
