Waikiki: BYOB Sunset Cruise
Overview
Toast a Hawaiian sunset from the water with your own drinks in hand! Bring your favorite beer, wine or cocktails (21+ with ID). We provide a cooler with ice, light snacks, water and soft drinks, so all you have to do is relax.
Depart Kewalo Basin and cruise the Waikiki coastline toward Diamond Head as the sky lights up with color. We adjust our start time with the seasons to give you the best sunset views on the water, all year round. Keep watch for dolphins and, in winter, breaching humpback whales.
With a maximum of 40 guests, you skip the crowded party boats and have room to move between the open deck and the shaded cabin. Our friendly, welcoming crew keeps the evening fun and relaxed, and they’re always happy to snap photos of your group with the sunset behind you. Restroom on board.
Great for couples, friends and families (ages 3+). Bring a light jacket for the evening breeze, and please use a taxi or rideshare if you’ve been drinking.
