Small Waikiki Sunset and Swim Catamaran

Location: Waikiki, Oahu

Tour Highlights

This small-group sunset sail off Waikīkī lets you float, breathe, and watch the day melt into color from the quiet deck of a catamaran. Then slip into warm, open water for a peaceful swim as the sky turns pink, purple, and orange as the city fades behind you.

  • Sail a small-group catamaran for an intimate Waikīkī sunset experience
  • Cruise toward the Gold Coast with panoramic views of Diamond Head
  • Enjoy a refreshing offshore swim in calm Waikīkī waters
  • Bring your own beverages for a relaxed, open-deck evening vibe
  • Watch Friday-night fireworks from a front-row ocean vantage

Quick Local Tip: Don’t skip the swim just because the sun sits lower in the sky. The late-afternoon light makes the water reflect a golden glow and keeps the ocean comfortably warm. Bring a towel and a long-sleeve layer for the breezy sail back so you can stay cozy after your dip.

What to Expect

Board your sailing catamaran at Ala Wai Boat Harbor and cruise beyond Waikīkī as Diamond Head and the Honolulu skyline come into view from the water. Before sunset, enjoy a refreshing swim in the calm Pacific before climbing back aboard to continue the evening sail.

As the catamaran glides along Waikīkī's scenic Gold Coast, relax with your favorite beverages (no glass containers) and watch the sky transform into brilliant shades of orange, pink, and purple as the sun sinks below the horizon. It's a peaceful way to experience one of Oʻahu's most iconic coastal views.

Friday evening departures conclude with Waikīkī's weekly fireworks display, offering a spectacular front-row view from the water before returning to Ala Wai Boat Harbor.
