About this experience
There's something magical about watching the sun melt into the Pacific from the deck of the Ho'o Nanea, and this 2 hour sunset cruise from Haleiwa makes it easy to experience from $71. The sunset hours are a magical time to be out on the water, with departures timed perfectly from Haleiwa Harbor to catch those golden hours when the trade winds settle and the ocean turns to glass.
This All Ages cruise (4.7 stars, 381 Google reviews) offers unobstructed views as that giant orange ball drops toward the horizon. The colors are absolutely wild-think deep purples bleeding into fiery oranges, with streaks of gold that seem to set the entire sky ablaze. From the Ho'o Nanea's deck, you get views of the coastline stretching endlessly in both directions.
The timing couldn't be better. During the Sunset Cruise season (June through November), you'll catch those perfect summer sunsets, while December through April brings the bonus of Sunset Whale Watching. The catamaran provides a stable platform as you glide along the calm evening waters.
What makes this 2 hour sunset cruise Haleiwa experience special is how it strips away all the noise. No crowds fighting for the best photo spot-just you, the ocean, and one of nature's most reliable shows. The crew provides complimentary soft drinks and water, plus guests may BYOB as they offer a cooler on board to store your own beverages.
