Private Sunset Catamaran Cruise & Swim "Keanuenue"

Having sailed these waters countless times, I can tell you there's nothing quite like the Private Sunset Catamaran Cruise & Swim "Keanuenue" departing from Kewalo Basin Harbor. Your exclusive group of up to 6 people gets the entire catamaran to yourselves-no crowds, no strangers, just your crew sharing stories about Oahu's south shore as you glide toward Diamond Head.

The beauty of this BYOB experience lies in its flexibility. Choose from 2, 3, or 4-hour options depending on how much ocean time you crave. The spacious vessel comes equipped with Bluetooth connectivity for your playlist, shaded cabin seating, and a large ice-cooled cooler with plenty of room for your food and drinks. Don't worry about cups-they're included, along with complimentary waters, juices, and sodas.

What makes this trip special is the anchoring spot at a calm offshore reef. Here, you'll snorkel among tropical fish and often encounter sea turtles gliding through the crystal-clear water. All snorkel gear and flotation devices are provided, and your crew doubles as in-water guides and lifeguards, ensuring everyone stays safe while exploring.

Keep your eyes peeled during the journey-dolphins frequently play in our wake, and during whale season, humpbacks often make appearances. The protected waters along the south shore provide smooth sailing conditions most days.

As the sun begins its descent, you'll understand why locals never tire of Hawaiian sunsets. The golden light transforms Waikiki and Diamond Head into a photographer's dream, creating the perfect finale to your Private Sunset Catamaran Cruise & Swim "Keanuenue" Honolulu adventure.

Swimming ability is required for water activities, and the tour isn't recommended for those with mobility issues or certain medical conditions. Arrive 15 minutes early at the Gate entrance to Pier C with your camera, sunscreen, swimwear, and towels. Starting from $599 for 2-hour excursions, this intimate ocean experience delivers memories you'll treasure long after returning home.
