Watch Waikiki’s sunset from a barefoot catamaran with cocktails, Diamond Head views, whale spotting, and practical tips for a smooth sail.

“Do not book this trip thru Viator. Cost less booking on your own. And DO NOT upgrade to VIP tix. A complete waste of money. All you get is on boarding first. But I am giving this cruise a 5 Star rating b/c the crew was outstanding! Very attentive and friendly. We saw whales which was a big plus since there were clouds and no sun this evening. Very relaxing and great views of Diamondhead and the coast line of Waikiki.”
