Oʻahu Coastal Wine and Chocolate Experience
Overview
What makes this experience truly unique is that it takes wine tasting completely out of the traditional setting and places it on the open ocean along Oʻahu’s coastline. Instead of a bar or vineyard, guests enjoy a moving coastal journey where every moment changes with the light, water, and scenery.
The experience blends a guided tasting of four craft wines, a locally distilled Hawaiian rum, and artisan chocolate from Lonohana Chocolate, creating a layered tasting experience that feels both elevated and distinctly island-inspired.
What sets it apart further is the combination of ocean adventure and cultural immersion. Guests may encounter Hawaiian green sea turtles, dolphins, and seasonal whales while sipping, and select departures feature live performances by local artists, adding an authentic sense of place.
It’s a rare balance of relaxation, discovery, and connection—designed to feel social and memorable without being crowded or formal.
What's Included
- Alcoholic beverages All tastings are included in the ticket price.
- Small onboard restroom available for guest convenience.
- If desiring to snorkel during the open water swim we recommend bringing your own equipment or rental gear.

What To Expect
Experience a one-of-a-kind wine tasting by sea along the coast of Oʻahu with Nautical Wine Tours. This 2-hour ocean experience blends adventure, curated beverages, and local flavors into an unforgettable escape.
Sip a guided tasting of four craft, minimal-intervention wines, complemented by a locally distilled Hawaiian rum and a sampling of artisan chocolate from Lonohana Chocolate. Each element is thoughtfully selected to highlight the unique flavors of the islands.
Cruise along Hawaiʻi’s stunning coastline with panoramic ocean views, warm sea breezes, and—weather permitting—the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing swim in open water.
Keep an eye out for Hawaiʻi’s incredible marine life, including honu (sea turtles), naiʻa (dolphins), and seasonal koholā (whales). Select departures may also feature live performances by local artists, adding a unique cultural element to your time on the water.
With a welcoming, social atmosphere, this experience is perfect for couples, friends, and solo travelers looking to relax, connect, and create lasting memories on the ocean.
