Private Boat Charter in Waikiki "Big Kahuna"

Departing from Kewalo Basin Harbor Pier A, this spacious vessel accommodates up to 45 guests for fully customizable 1-4 hour adventures tailored to your group's interests. Whether you're planning snorkeling trips, whale watching excursions, sunset cruises, or want to catch Waikiki's spectacular fireworks from offshore, the Big Kahuna delivers. Rated 5 stars with 527 Google reviews, this all-ages activity starts from $XX per group.

This isn't your typical tourist boat. The vessel is perfect for weddings, birthday celebrations, memorial services, and corporate events because the USCG licensed captain and crew understand island hospitality. The vessel strikes the perfect balance with both shaded and sunny seating areas, plus a marine restroom for longer charters.

Everything you need for ocean exploration comes included—masks, fins, swim floats, and certified lifeguard guides who know these waters inside and out. The onboard Bluetooth system lets you set the mood with your own playlist, while iced-down coolers keep drinks perfectly chilled. After swimming, rinse off with the fresh water deck shower before enjoying your favorite beverages (BYOB policy applies after water activities). Prescription snorkel masks can be rented from Snorkel Bob's if needed.

Smart planning makes all the difference. Arrive 15 minutes early for drop-offs or 30 minutes if you're parking at the harbor, where paid parking runs about $2 per hour but can be limited on busy days. For accurate navigation, search "Hawaii Ocean Charters" in Google or Apple maps and look for Pier A. Transportation to the harbor is not included.

Since snorkeling can be physically demanding, participants need basic swimming skills and good physical health. Boating activities may not be suitable for those with pre-existing health conditions, neck or back problems, or pregnant women.

Customers receive a full refund or credit with 48 hours notice of cancellation, and also receive a full refund in case of operator cancellation due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. No-shows will be charged the full price.
