Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise by Hawaii Nautical Oahu

Honolulu, Hawaii's vibrant capital, sits on the southeastern shore of Oahu, a volcanic island famous for its mix of urban life and natural spectacle. Hawaii Nautical – Oahu offers an inviting way to witness one of the Pacific’s most mesmerizing horizons with its Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise. This journey takes you out onto the calm waters aboard a stable catamaran, cruising west toward the iconic Diamond Head, a dormant volcanic tuff cone that defines the skyline.

As the vessel cuts through the Pacific swells, guests are treated to light appetizers and unlimited non-alcoholic drinks, a pairing designed to complement the relaxing atmosphere as daylight fades. The cruise presents a front-row seat to the rare natural phenomenon known as the green flash—a momentary burst of green light that appears just as the sun sinks below the horizon, an elusive sight that many seasoned sailors and photographers prize.
