Morning Coffee Cruise
The best buzz on Oʻahu.
There’s a version of Waikīkī that exists for about ninety minutes each morning—before the beach fills in, when the water is glass and the light is soft gold. This relaxed cruise follows the Waikīkī coastline toward Diamond Head with locally roasted Aliʻi Coffee Co. coffee and pastries aboard.
Catch your morning buzz with a view.
