Sunset Swim Adventure (Private)

There's something truly special about watching the sun dip behind the Waiʻanae mountains from your own private raft on Oʻahu's south shore. This Sunset Swim Adventure (Private) Honolulu aboard Diamond Head Cruises' high-speed adventure raft gives you and up to 5 friends the freedom to create your perfect evening on the water.

Your 2-hour private charter begins at Kewalo Basin Harbor's Pier A, where your certified captain will whisk you along the Waikiki coastline with Diamond Head's dramatic silhouette providing the backdrop. What makes this experience yours is the flexibility-cruise leisurely past scenic beaches, drop anchor wherever looks inviting, or slip into the calm evening waters for a sunset swim. I've seen guests do everything from romantic proposals to bachelor party celebrations out here.

Keep your eyes peeled for Hawaiian spinner dolphins and green sea turtles, which love these waters. During whale season, humpback whales often make appearances in the distance. Your crew knows the best spots and will point out wildlife as you cruise.

The boat comes stocked with seasonal refreshments, a cooler with ice, and life vests, but feel free to bring your own drinks and pupus to make it truly personal. As golden hour arrives, you'll have front-row seats to one of Oʻahu's most stunning sunsets, with Diamond Head and the colorful sky creating those Instagram-worthy moments.

This sunset swim adventure (private) Honolulu requires participants to be age 5 and older, with a maximum of 6 people total. The experience isn't wheelchair or stroller accessible and operates under a firm 48-hour cancellation policy. Starting from $625 for private charters, check-in begins 10 minutes prior to departure at Pier A's gate-I recommend arriving 30 minutes early for parking and to find the pier.
