Impress your family with the very Best Waikiki has to offer.
This is the only commercial cruise experience that tours within the tranquil waters of Waikiki rather than the open ocean. All other cruises on the island can make one feel sea sensitive as they go out to the wavy ocean. Our cruise is different because we only traverse the calm, gentle and serene waters of Waikiki's Grand Canal and up to Magic Island
Also unlike Catamaran rides where you have to be squeezed in with 80 other strangers, our tour only takes small groups of 1 to 4 passengers. Groups of up to 12 can tour via multiple gondolas.
Lastly, Gondolas make for amazing pictures. Unlike photos of standard cruises, you will be much happier displaying a photo of you Cruising on an fabulous work of art in Hawaiian paradise.

Private Marriage proposal

5.00This turned out better than I could have ever planned. They go above and beyond to make your experience be as great as it can be. Mines was a wedding proposal, and Elliot gave us all the bells and whistles. Small Family owned so they care about the details. 5 star, if you want a special memory and a beautiful evening with the city lights book this at night..glad I made that choice.
Best gondola ride ever!!!

5.00This was a romantic experience. The gondoliers were knowledgeable pleasant and kind. They gave a great tour of the canal and marina. They also supplied drinks and desserts which was a plus. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. I suggest the night cruise it’s beautiful in the evening!!!

5.00This Waikiki tour was a great way to spend New Years. We got closer to the fireworks than any of the other boats. Gondolier sang songs, excellent desserts, luxury feel. I am going to book it again for Valentines Day.
