What to Expect

Your cruise begins at Kewalo Basin Marina. After a short safety briefing, the crew welcomes guests aboard a sleek, USCG-certified catamaran designed for both comfort and sightseeing. You’ll settle in with your choice of shaded or open-air seating as the vessel glides away from the dock and into the warm, tropical waters off Oahu’s southern coast.

As the shoreline drifts behind you, expansive views of Honolulu’s skyline unfold. The towering Koʻolau mountain range creates a lush, green backdrop, while the profile of Diamond Head stands out against the bright afternoon sky. The steady ocean breeze and gentle motion of the catamaran add to the easygoing atmosphere onboard.

Keep an eye on the water for spinner dolphins who are frequently seen riding the wake in front of the twin hulls. During the winter season (roughly November to April), humpback whales are often spotted breaching or slapping their tails as they migrate through Hawaiian waters with their calves. Sea turtles also occasionally surface near the catamaran, offering a glimpse of Hawaii’s vibrant marine life.

The onboard bar offers a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase, along with light snacks like potato chips. With a premium Bose stereo system setting the mood and plenty of space to relax, this two-hour cruise is equal parts sightseeing and serenity.

As the catamaran sails back toward Waikiki, you’ll get one last look at the island’s southern coastline for a view few get to experience from the water. The tour concludes back at the harbor, leaving you refreshed and inspired by the island’s natural beauty.
