Cruise the Waikiki coastline to Diamond Head as the sky lights up orange, pink, and gold. Bring your own drinks, kick back on the open-air bow or shaded upper deck, and watch the sun melt into the Pacific. Free sodas, juice, and snacks are on us, and turtles, dolphins, and winter whales love to crash the party.
$49 to $69 per person · BYOB option · Departs Kewalo Basin, Honolulu
There is no better way to end a day in Honolulu than out on the water with a drink in hand and the whole sky on fire. Our Waikiki Sunset Cruise glides out of Kewalo Basin and tracks the famous coastline toward Diamond Head, putting you front and center for the best show in Hawaii. As the sun drops below the Pacific, the sky erupts in orange, pink, and gold, and the Honolulu shoreline glows behind you.
Pick the BYOB option and the cruise becomes your own floating happy hour. Bring your favorite drinks, we provide the ice chest to keep them cold, and you settle in for a relaxed 90 minutes of sea breeze and sunset. Prefer to keep it easy? The standard sunset cruise comes with complimentary sodas, juice, and snacks, so everyone in your group is covered.
Our spacious double-decker boat gives you room to roam. Grab the open-air bow for unobstructed photos, or post up on the shaded upper deck and just take it all in. Sea turtles and dolphins make regular appearances year-round, and from December through April you have a real shot at spotting humpback whales on their winter migration. Couples, families, bachelorette crews, and first-timers all feel right at home.
