Waikiki Sail & Snorkel Adventure
A captain and crew handle the sailing while guests relax on the water. The boat anchors at a snorkeling spot where swimmers can explore tropical fish, sea turtles and coral. The operator also notes the possibility of seeing dolphins and whales in season during the sail. Snorkeling equipment is provided and sanitized before each use, and complimentary water is included. Meals and gratuity are not included, so bringing favorite snacks and beverages is encouraged. Basic swimming ability is required to participate. A private booking option is available, making the trip suitable for families and groups who want the boat to themselves. There is no hotel pickup, so plan to meet at Waikiki Beach. Pack a hat, sunglasses, a towel, a camera and sunscreen, but note that spray and tinted sunscreens are not permitted on board.
Diamond Head Sunset Cruise
The Diamond Head Sunset Cruise departs from Honolulu aboard a private yacht, with the captain and crew handling all the sailing so guests can settle in and watch the sky change color. The route passes near Diamond Head and Waikiki, and as the boat heads back to port, the city lights of Honolulu come into view along the waterfront. This cruise suits families and groups who want a relaxed time on the water without managing any of the sailing themselves. Complimentary water is provided, and guests are encouraged to bring their own snacks and beverages along with a camera. Comfortable clothing is recommended, and a light layer helps on cooler evenings out on the water. The meeting point is in Honolulu, and guests make their own way there. Dolphins, sea turtles, and whales in season may be spotted along the way. Checking in with the operator ahead of the departure date is a good idea to confirm meeting details and what to expect on the day.
OFFSHORE FISHING
Honolulu Sailing Co. runs this offshore fishing trip on a monohull sailboat, heading out off Diamond Head in search of mahimahi, ono, and tuna. The boat sails away from the reef and into open water where gamefish run, so this is genuine sport fishing rather than a casual nearshore outing. The operator is straightforward about results: sometimes the fish cooperate, and sometimes they don't. Dolphins, sea turtles, and manta rays are sometimes spotted while sailing offshore. Because Hawaiian offshore conditions can be physically demanding, guests should make sure they are ready for that kind of activity before booking. Complimentary water is provided, but guests should bring their own snacks and drinks. A hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a towel, gloves, and a camera are all recommended. The meeting point is in Honolulu, and no hotel pickup is included, so arranging transportation to the meeting point ahead of time is a good idea. This trip suits people who want a real fishing experience on open water and are comfortable on a sailing vessel in active conditions.
Private Whale Watching Cruise
The Private Whale Watching Cruise with Honolulu Sailing Co. takes guests out on a private luxury yacht departing near Waikiki, with Diamond Head visible along the shoreline. Humpback whales migrate to Hawaiian waters between December and April to calve, making this tour suited to those visiting during those months. Dolphins, sea turtles, and manta rays are also sometimes spotted from the boat during the sail. The meeting point is in Honolulu, and there is no hotel pickup, so guests need to arrange their own transportation to the departure location. Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a towel, and a camera. The operator does not allow spray or tinted sunscreen. The tour operates as a private charter, so the boat is not shared with strangers, making it a relaxed option for groups who want the deck to themselves.
