Tour Highlights

Sail into a wide-open West O‘ahu sunset where calm deep blue seas, panoramic mountain views, and handcrafted cocktails create an easy, unhurried kind of luxury. A spacious catamaran, warm ocean breeze, and the glow of the Wai‘anae coast set the mood for a truly peaceful evening on the water.

Cruise on a 65ft catamaran along the clear-skied Wai‘anae coast for wide-open sunset color
Watch for dolphins, honu, and seasonal humpbacks along the leeward waters
Sip cocktails and soft drinks from a premium bar with oceanfront views
Savor Hawaiian pupus while relaxing on spacious deck seating
Glide home under twilight skies as crew shares local star lore

Quick Local Tip: Just before sunset, glance inland toward Mt. Ka‘ala, the tallest peak on O‘ahu. Its upper ridges often catch the day’s last golden light, glowing a deep rose for a few minutes before fading into shadow.

What to Expect

Depart Waiʻanae Harbor aboard the spacious Ko Nau Lani catamaran and cruise along Oʻahu’s rugged Leeward Coast as the afternoon light begins to soften. Settle onto the deck with a drink and watch for dolphins, Hawaiian green sea turtles, and seasonal humpback whales along the way.

Enjoy traditional Hawaiian pūpū, unlimited non-alcoholic beverages, and two included bar drinks per adult while the setting sun casts a golden glow across the Waiʻanae Mountains. As the colors deepen, turn toward the open Pacific and watch the sun sink toward the horizon, perhaps catching the elusive green flash in its final seconds.

Throughout the cruise, the crew shares stories of Hawaiʻi’s relationship with the ocean, including traditional wayfinding and navigation across the Pacific.

Then, as daylight disappears, the experience changes again. Stars replace the sunset overhead while the crew points out constellations and shares their connection to Hawaiian navigation during the peaceful cruise back to Waiʻanae Harbor.
