Watch the Hilton Hawaiian Village fireworks from a private catamaran off Kewalo Basin. This 60-minute Friday evening cruise offers complimentary drinks, open-deck views, and a front-row seat to Honolulu’s weekly fireworks tradition.

The catamaran slips away from Kewalo Basin as twilight thins; light from Ala Moana Boulevard fades and the ocean takes charge. Guests settle on deck with a beer or a passion-orange juice while Honolulu’s skyline becomes a low ribbon of light. When the Hilton’s Friday night barrage begins, shells bloom overhead and reflections ripple across the water, the whole display framed by the hull’s soft sway.
