Sunset Cruise
Golden hour, seen from the water.
There’s a different kind of energy on the water as the day winds down. The heat softens, the coastline starts to glow, and Diamond Head catches the last light. Depart from Kewalo Basin and settle in for one of Honolulu’s best golden-hour views.
End the day where Waikīkī looks its best.
