Waikiki Sunset Cruise

There's nothing quite like watching the sun dip below the Pacific horizon from aboard a spacious 55-foot double-decker catamaran. This Waikiki sunset cruise Honolulu departs from Kewalo Harbor for a memorable 2-hour evening journey that showcases both the stunning coastline and the underwater world through the vessel's unique glass-bottom viewing room.

Setting sail at 5:30 PM on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, you'll cruise along Honolulu's shoreline with sweeping views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head crater. The catamaran's thoughtful design gives you choices—unwind in the shaded lower cabin or catch the breeze on the upper deck. While the surround sound system provides musical ambiance, television displays share fascinating local history and marine life footage. The real showstopper? That glass-bottom viewing room where you can watch tropical fish swim beneath you without getting your feet wet.

Comfort is key aboard this vessel, with plenty of seating, two restrooms, and complimentary snacks and drinks included. Here's what locals love: guests 21 and older can bring their own alcohol, and outside food is welcome too. Check in starts at 5:00 PM at the bright yellow and blue booth (1025 Ala Moana Boulevard, Slip F06), and you'll be back at Kewalo Harbor by 7:30 PM.

At just $54 per person, this Waikiki sunset cruise Honolulu offers exceptional value for all ages—kids under 3 cruise free. A few important notes: pregnant women shouldn't participate, and leave the sandals at home for safety. You can cancel up to 24 hours ahead for a full refund. Kewalo Basin parking runs $1 per hour, so arrive 30 minutes early to secure your spot and soak in those pre-departure harbor views.
