Experience Oʻahu’s golden hour like never before on a small-group catamaran sail along Waikīkī’s iconic coastline. This tour offers the perfect blend of relaxation and light adventure, including a refreshing swim just off the shores of Waikīkī Beach. As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, enjoy panoramic ocean views and vibrant skies from the deck of a spacious catamaran. With BYOB options and a friendly, experienced crew, this is one of the most scenic and memorable ways to end your day in paradise. On Fridays, the evening wraps up with front-row views of Waikīkī’s spectacular weekly fireworks show.

What to Expect

Guests will meet at the Ala Wai Boat Harbor, tucked just off the edge of bustling Waikīkī. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the friendly crew and guided aboard a clean and comfortable sailing catamaran designed for small groups—offering plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy the ride.

As the boat pulls away from the harbor, the shoreline of Waikīkī slowly comes into full view, framed by the ever-majestic Diamond Head and a sky that starts to shift into the warm tones of late afternoon. The first stop is a brief swim break just offshore, where you can slip into the calm, clear waters for a refreshing dip. There’s no snorkeling on this tour, but the swim is a great way to cool off and immerse yourself in the Pacific’s calm embrace.

Back onboard, the catamaran cruises toward the Gold Coast, a stretch of coastline known for its dramatic views and luxurious oceanfront properties. As the sun nears the horizon, colors begin to dance across the sky—burnt orange, soft lavender, and fiery pink casting golden reflections across the water and the glassy windows of Waikīkī’s high-rises.

Guests are welcome to bring their own beverages (no glass containers), and with a drink in hand and camera at the ready, you’ll enjoy an uninterrupted view of one of Hawaiʻi’s most photographed moments: sunset over the Pacific.

If you’re sailing on a Friday, the tour concludes with a special treat—the weekly Waikīkī fireworks show. Watching the fireworks from the open ocean offers a completely different perspective, with glittering reflections on the water and the skyline twinkling behind. It’s a magical way to cap off an evening sail.
