The experience

The boat leaves Kewalo Basin and heads out along the Waikiki coastline as the sun moves toward the horizon. In summer months the cruise ends with the sunset itself. In winter the sun sets earlier in the tour, leaving the second half for views of Waikiki's city lights reflecting off the water. Either way, Diamond Head stays visible throughout. A live guide in English narrates the route, and the crew welcomes you aboard once you've checked in.

Light snacks and non-alcoholic refreshments come with your ticket. If you're 21 or over, you can bring your own alcohol. A cooler with ice is provided on board. No glass containers are allowed. The whole experience runs 90 minutes from departure to return. You'll be back at Kewalo Basin where you started.
