5.00We had the best time during the sunset cruise! The staff was super nice and the atmosphere a lot of fun! Wear shorts preferably since your legs will get wet when you are getting on and off.
Worth the upgrade to the 50’ off Waikiki Shore!

5.00The crew Capt Carlos, Dez, Claire were amazing! Made the possibly rough sailing feel like an adventure that ended with fantastic sunset

5.00We had an awesome sunset cruise with Waikīkī Sailing! Boarding on the beach was super easy and convenient when staying in Waikiki. Captain Woody & Carlos were great & Lucy was a stellar bartender. Jess also took great pictures for us and the whole crew was just fun to be around. Will definitely take the same boat when we’re back in town! No notes.

5.00I went on Friday and Saturday evenings and had widely different yet great experiences each night. Our trip on Friday took us towards Diamond Head and back and yielded a phenomenal sunset as the sun dipped below the horizon. Saturday's trip saw an almost immediate set of whales spouting water and off we went in search! Due to a steady chop, we experienced the thrills of riding the waves and yes, some of us did get wet....and loved it! A pack of dolphins passed on both sides of the boat less than 10 minutes later. Although there was no visible sunset, the background of the Waikiki lights against incoming storm clouds rolling in made for a great background picture. I would definitely do this trip again. The boat is in top shape and the crew was fantastic in helping us to see the marine life.
Great Sunset Sail Experience!

5.00We had a wonderful time with Waikiki Sailing Company. The crew was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they made sure everyone on board had a great view of the sunset. Drinks were flowing, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it never felt crowded or rushed. It was the perfect way to end the day in Waikiki. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a laid-back, scenic sail with great service!
Relaxing and romantic sunset sail

5.00We had a great time and really appreciated top notch hospitality from Captain Kani, first mate Cameron, and bar tender Lucy. Thank you for a relaxing and memorable sunset sail! It was not too crowded and we had our choice of comfy places to hang out on the boat. I liked being on a smaller boat because you're closer to the water.
Do it!
