About this tour
Board the Kanoa II - a 65-foot luxury catamaran - for a three-hour dinner cruise along 12 miles of the Kona Coast. A local historian narrates over 50 points of historical interest as the vessel cruises south toward Captain Cook's monument in Kealakekua Bay, where a multi-course Hawaiian-inspired dinner is served against a backdrop of coastal sunset views.
The evening includes live entertainment on the return journey and one complimentary cocktail for guests 21 and older (valid ID required), with a cash bar available afterward. The seasonal menu features locally sourced ingredients - recent offerings have included Waimea strawberry spring salad with Big Island feta, sea salt-brined roasted chicken with Hamakua mushroom demi-glace, and Big Island chocolate torte for dessert. Gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan meals can be arranged by calling at least 48 hours before departure.
Check in 30 minutes before departure at the Ilima Court Shopping Center on Kuakini Highway in Kailua-Kona. Seating is first-come, first-served - arrive early for your preferred spot. Wear comfortable shoes for the walk from parking to the pier.
