About This Adventure
Experience a magical Friday night as you cruise on a private boat beneath Honolulu's shimmering skyline. Sip your favorite drinks while enjoying breathtaking views of Diamond Head and Waikiki, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display that lights up the coast. This unforgettable two-hour adventure promises a perfect evening on the ocean.
Looking for your own personal paradise to watch the Friday night fireworks light up the night sky? Join us for an evening to remember as we watch the fireworks from the comfort of your own private boat, cruising below Honolulu’s city lights for a thrilling nighttime adventure!
Sip your favorite wine or beverage as we drive underneath Waikiki skyline and Diamond Head, watching as daylight leaves and the stars begin to come out. Just before the show, we will tuck underneath the city and watch in excitement as the fireworks transform the coast. The fireworks show typically kicks off at 7:45/8:00pm depending on the time of year.
Please feel free to bring you own beverages and snacks. Bottled water, cooler space, and limited storage will all be onboard for your convenience. Please leave large bulky items back at shore, and plan for a beautiful evening on the ocean.
Firework cruises are offered on Friday nights only. All firework excursions last 2 hours
