Waikiki Private Charter

When you want the waters around Waikiki all to yourself, MANA Cruises delivers with their exclusive private charters departing from Ala Wai Boat Harbor. These intimate sailing adventures accommodate up to six passengers, with flexible 2-8 hour options and hourly charter rates starting from $800.

What sets this Waikiki private charter experience apart is the complete customization. Morning snorkel excursions with lunch, sunset snorkeling with tastings, or full-day Komohana adventures extending beyond eight hours – it's entirely up to your group. The certified captain and crew know these waters like the back of their hand, positioning you perfectly to spot Hawaii's incredible marine life: turtles gliding through coral gardens, playful dolphins, seasonal whales, and the occasional flying fish breaking the surface.

All the gear you need comes included – snorkel equipment, masks, fins – so you can focus on enjoying the experience rather than packing. The hosted bar keeps everyone refreshed with soft drinks and additional beverage selections, while menu options complement your chosen departure time.

Package options cover every preference: Charter By The Hour for maximum flexibility, Morning Snorkel + Lunch ($2,400), Sunset Snorkel + Tasting ($2,400), Sunset + Tasting ($1,600), or the comprehensive Full Day Komohana ($6,400) for those who never want the adventure to end. Each Waikiki private charter Honolulu adventure operates daily and welcomes all ages.

Meeting at Ala Wai Boat Harbor puts you right in the heart of the action. Your group gets exclusive access to professional crew expertise while maintaining complete control over the itinerary – whether that means extended snorkeling sessions, coastline sightseeing, or trying your luck at fishing. Cancellations require 48-hour advance notice, though weather-related cancellations by the captain result in full refunds, keeping safety as the top priority.
