Private Fireworks & City Lights Cruise

Get the best seat in the house — on the water, and all to yourselves. This private charter aboard the Keanuenue gives your group a front-row view of Waikiki's Friday night fireworks, plus a scenic cruise of the island's glittering city lights to and from the show.

With the boat reserved for just your party and a flexible itinerary, you set the pace. Cruise the coastline as the sun goes down, take in the skyline all lit up, and settle in for the fireworks with your captain positioning you perfectly for the show.

Bring your favorite drinks — the charter is BYOB — and dress in light layers, since evenings on the water run cooler than the day.
