About this experience
After years of sailing these waters, I can tell you the Waikiki Captain's Sunset + Tasting cruise with MANA Cruises is something special. Departing from Ala Wai Boat Harbor, this intimate 2-hour adventure caps off your Oahu day perfectly - and with only six passengers max, you'll never feel crowded.
Rated #1 of 11 things to do in Ko Olina according to 352 TripAdvisor reviewers, this all ages experience has timing that couldn't be better: 5:00pm summer departures and 4:30pm winter sailings catch Hawaii's legendary golden hour just right. Once you're beyond the surf line, the real magic begins. I've watched guests gasp as Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins surface nearby, or when a Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle glides past. Bottlenose Dolphins and Flying Fish make regular appearances, while whale season brings the unforgettable sight of Humpback Whales breaching.
But here's what sets this Waikiki Captain's Sunset + Tasting experience apart - the food. The tasting menu features: Maui Brew IPA Braised Short Rib with Truffle Mashed Potato that melts in your mouth, Local Greens with Seasonal Veggies and tangy Lilikoi Dressing, plus an innovative Crab and Shrimp "poke" served alongside creamy Haupia and Seasonal Fruit Puree. The hosted bar ensures your glass stays full while you sail past Diamond Head's dramatic silhouette.
Your certified captain and crew provide professional service during Tuesday and Thursday departures from Ala Wai Boat Harbor that include your complete gourmet tasting menu, drinks, and crew service.
Fair warning: book ahead and note that all bookings must cancel no more than 48 hours prior to scheduled departure. Weather cancellations earn full refunds, while illness or travel restriction cancellations are handled case by case. Spots fill quickly for good reason. From $105, this Waikiki Captain's Sunset + Tasting cruise in Honolulu delivers some of the most spectacular sunset views you'll find anywhere in the Pacific.
