Private Sunset Catamaran Cruise in Waikiki
Overview
Available languages
2 hours
Mobile ticket
Discover the beautiful views of the ocean, local wildlife, the iconic east side of Oahu, and the sun dipping into the sea as you join me on a private catamaran cruise in Waikiki. We’ll depart from Kewalo Basin Harbor located in Honolulu and make our way up the coastline to Diamond Head, making stops along the way for any turtles, dolphins, or whales we may spot during our journey. Once at the top of our route, we will find a calm anchorage to relax at. Guests are welcome to join me for guided snorkeling and swimming or just dip their toes in the water as we soak in the beautiful afternoon. The vessel is exclusively reserved for your party so you are welcome to play your own music and bring any refreshments you would like to enjoy during our time together. I’ll happily be sharing my local knowledge and the cultural history of the area we are traveling in throughout the cruise. There is no better way to end the day.

5.00We had the best evening with Captain Adrianna and 1st mate Haley. The two of them took great care of us. They pulled out windbreakers for us when it started raining, helped with drinks and made sure we were comfortable. It was such a treat to have the boat all to ourselves. What a beautiful way to see Waikiki beach from the water. It was magical when we can back in to dock all lit up. We would definitely book with Hawaii Ocean Charters again. Thanks for a beautiful evening.

5.00Hailey & Adriana were AMAZING! They made our private sunset charter the absolute best with their friendly and fun vibes. We did this as our last event of our week long trip & it was the best way to end our honeymoon with beautiful views of Diamond Head and the sunset from the ocean, they made us feel like we were driving right into the sunset, beautiful and captivating, peaceful and laid back. Thanks Hailey & Adriana for everything!
Book this for your small group! Sam and Nick know their stuff, are funny, and hospitable! We enjoyed every minute!!

5.00We booked this for ourselves, our two grown daughters, and sons-in-law. How cool to have the whole boat to ourselves!! Nick and Sam were absolutely perfect! They asked what we hoped to get out of the trip and didn’t disappoint! Whales and an incredibly large school of dolphins graced us with their presence! We chased and played with the dolphins for much of the trip! We brought snacks and beverages, but had so much fun watching for sea animals, we never ate! Both guys were incredible hosts and made us feel at home and have fun!! Thank you!!’

5.00Great outing for all ages - swimming, whale watching and a gorgeous sunset all in 2 relaxing hours on a boat that is perfectly made for the outing. We had a family of 6 and we all fit comfortably. The captain and his crewmate were fun and flexible and made the outing even better.

5.00Such a unique experience! Captain Francesco and Jake took us to a reef area with a picturesque view of Diamond Head and the skyline. Got some great shots of the fish, reef, and sunset. They even came prepared with rafts and other swimming gear. Highly recommend for a group of friends!
