Benefits of a Sunset Boat Cruise
Escape The Crowded Beaches
Waikiki is the most popular location on Oahu to watch the sunset dip into the sea. This means our beaches lining the coastline can get quite busy. Our sunset boat charters offer the ability to get off the crowded beach and experience the sunset on the peaceful offshore waters.
Option to Swim and Snorkel at Sunset
There is nothing quite as magical as swimming in our warm Hawaiian waters as the golden sunset shines throughout the ocean. Not required but highly recommended, guests have the option to jump in the water for a quick snorkel at our lively reefs or just take a swim. Our popular snorkel spots are very empty at sunset and escaping the crowd makes the sunset cruise one of our favorite times to snorkel at Turtle Canyon.
Enjoy Your Favorite Drinks
You are not allowed to drink alcohol on Waikiki Beach, but you are more than welcome to sip on your favorite beverages on our BYOB sunset cruises. Our boats are equipped with big iced down coolers for your own drinks along with cups and a marine bathroom for your convenience.
We also provide a variety of complementary local juices, sodas and waters on our tours.
