About This Experience
There's something truly special about watching the sun melt into the Pacific from the water, and Island Splash Tours' Waikiki sunset cruise delivers this quintessential Hawaiian experience in style. This 90-minute family-friendly adventure departs from 1651 Ala Moana Blvd, taking you along Honolulu's breathtaking coastline where Diamond Head's iconic silhouette frames every sunset photo.
The open vessel accommodates up to 29 guests comfortably—perfect for families wanting space to move around or couples seeking intimate moments against the backdrop of Waikiki's glittering skyline. As golden hour approaches, you'll have front-row seats to nature's nightly show, watching the city transform from daylight brilliance to those warm, honeyed hues that make Hawaii sunsets legendary.
What sets this Waikiki sunset cruise Honolulu experience apart is its relaxed, local vibe. Guests 21 and older can bring their favorite drinks aboard (BYOB policy), while everyone enjoys complimentary juices, sodas, and water. The vessel's thoughtful design ensures unobstructed views from every angle—whether you're capturing that perfect Diamond Head shot or simply soaking in the panoramic Pacific views.
