What to Expect

Board the catamaran at Waianae Harbor, where you'll board the impressive Ko Nau Lani. This spacious catamaran, designed for comfort and panoramic views, sets the stage for an exceptional sunset cruise. As you sail along the stunning West Oahu coast, keep an eye out for playful dolphins, majestic Hawaiian green sea turtles, and, during the winter months, the awe-inspiring humpback whales.

Relax on the deck with a refreshing drink in hand, enjoying the gentle sea breeze and the spectacular scenery. The crew will serve an array of traditional Hawaiian “pupus” (appetizers), and you’ll have unlimited access to non-alcoholic beverages, along with two complimentary bar drink tickets per adult. Additional alcoholic beverages are available at a minimal cost.

The golden views of the Waianae Mountain Range are a breathtaking highlight of the cruise, with the sun casting a warm glow over its rugged peaks. The west side, being the leeward side of the island, enjoys dry weather with minimal rain and clear skies, ensuring an unobstructed sunset experience.

As the sun begins its descent, the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant colors. You might even witness the elusive green flash just as the sun dips below the horizon. The knowledgeable crew will share fascinating stories about Hawaii’s maritime heritage, including the ancient art of way-finding and the significance of the ocean in Hawaiian culture.

Once the sun has set, the journey back to the harbor offers a serene and starlit experience. The crew will guide you through the constellations visible in the Hawaiian night sky, enriching your voyage with astronomical lore.
