Top 15 Sunset Cruises from Waikiki

19 tours

The catamarans leave the beach around five and are back before the streetlights. Below are the sunset sails compared on what matters after the view: open bar or bring your own, whether they swim off the boat, boat size, and which ones head far enough out to lose the hotels from the frame.

The staffs are friendly, accommodating and just amazing! They made the time out there fun and engaging. Too bad i cant remember their names but i think the captains name was nick.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 191 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $71Top rated

A relaxed 2-hour BYOB Waikiki sunset sail with a swim, snorkeling time, and big views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the water.

“Out of all of the crews we could have picked, I’m glad we chose this crew. Although it’s BYOB, it’s perfect for my family who doesn’t care to drink anyways - we had another “open bar” boat who was loading up next to us and it was WAY too many people and it looked over crowded - this crew was small but the journey felt much more intimate and they were all super friendly and I felt safe throughout the whole trip!”

12.Sunset 5 Course Dinner Cruise with Entertainment

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 28 reviews · 2 - 3 hours · from $193

A 5-course steak and lobster sunset dinner cruise from Waikiki, with live Hawaiian and jazz music and the Moku Ola show.

“I enjoyed it, our server seemed a bit scatter brained and the tables were definitely set up in a way that was not ideal for where we were sitting. But the upper deck of the boat was really nice and seeing the sky and the coast from the boat as the sun went down was super beautiful. The food was really good. I think the circumstances of seating location and the server being a bit overwhelmed was probably the worst part of it.”
