BYOB Waikiki Sunset Cruise "Big Kahuna"
About This Experience
Nothing beats watching the sun melt into the Pacific from the water, and the BYOB Waikiki Sunset Cruise "Big Kahuna" delivers exactly that magic. This 90-minute adventure departs from Kewalo Basin Harbor on a spacious 50-foot power boat that feels both intimate and comfortable with just 30 guests max.
What makes this cruise special? You can bring your own drinks and snacks while we provide the soft drinks, water, local juices, and sodas. The newly built vessel offers plenty of seating—both shaded spots and sunny perches—so everyone gets those Instagram-worthy shots of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach bathed in golden light.
Our crew knows these waters like the back of their hand and love sharing local stories while helping you capture the perfect sunset photo. Keep your eyes peeled for Hawaii's marine residents: sea turtles cruising below, colorful tropical fish, and dolphins that sometimes race alongside the boat. From January through March, you might even spot humpback whales on their winter vacation here.
The route hugs Oahu's stunning south shore, giving you front-row seats to one of the island's most breathtaking shows. With a marine restroom onboard and excellent vantage points throughout the vessel, comfort meets spectacular views on this BYOB Waikiki Sunset Cruise "Big Kahuna" Honolulu experience.
Check-in happens at Kewalo Basin Harbor Pier A, where the crew meets you at the gate. Boarding starts 15 minutes before departure, so arrive 15 minutes early for drop-offs or 30 minutes if you're parking. Kids 7 and up are welcome, and pricing starts from $49 per person. Just remember—no glass bottles or large coolers allowed.
While we can't promise the wildlife will show up on cue, the combination of Hawaii's coastline, comfortable cruising, and your favorite beverages makes for an unforgettable evening on the water.
