Pink Sails Waikiki
Sail along Waikiki’s coast aboard a 55ft catamaran and witness an unforgettable fireworks show every Friday night. Perfect for family outings or romantic evenings, this private cruise is a must-do when in Honolulu!
Pink Sails Waikiki operates a fleet of intimate ocean cruises that showcase Waikiki's coastline, nightly fireworks, marine life, and Hawaiian sunsets. The company offers a range of experiences aboard 55–67ft vessels including catamarans and power monohulls, providing options for fireworks cruises, sunset sails, turtle snorkeling trips, and seasonal whale-watching excursions.
Each cruise is designed for comfort and safety, with trained crew, life jackets, and light refreshments available on board. The Friday Night Fireworks cruises depart weekly and present a front-row seat to the city’s signature nightly display, with multiple vessel options tailored to different group sizes and preferences. Turtle snorkeling trips visit Turtle Canyon to snorkel with green sea turtles and explore nearshore coral, and sunset sails are timed for panoramic Pacific sunsets along Waikiki Beach.
Whale watching operates during the documented local humpback whale season, offering opportunities to view breaching and tail-slapping behaviors from an offshore vantage point while keeping respectful distance. Special event cruises, such as the Honolulu Festival Nagaoka Fireworks Cruise, provide limited seating for major holiday displays.
Reservations are handled online with clear scheduling, and public information lists seasonal dates and vessel descriptions so guests can choose the best experience. Pink Sails Waikiki emphasizes guest safety, experienced crew, and authentic Pacific views. For travelers seeking a memorable coastal activity in Honolulu, the company presents a reliable, family-friendly way to experience Waikiki’s marine and maritime highlights.
Accessible booking, clear cancellation policies, and multi-vessel options make it simple to plan a hassle-free ocean outing for families and groups.
