Cruise the Kohala coast at sunset, snorkel before dusk, and watch for humpback whales and the elusive green flash.

About this tour

Watch the sun sink toward the Pacific on a Kawaihae Sunset Sightseeing Cruise along the Kohala coast. From the water, the shoreline opens into a striking panorama, with the chance to catch the Hawaiian sunset’s elusive green flash.

This 2-hour cruise can include snorkeling before sunset, followed by time to fish and cruise as dusk settles and ocean life becomes more active. Keep an eye offshore for Alaskan humpback whales breaching in the distance. Bottled water, snacks, snorkeling equipment, and an onboard restroom are provided, and the charter can be customized to your needs and preferences.

The Kawaihae Sunset Sightseeing Cruise offers a relaxed way to experience the coast from a fresh perspective. Bring your own beverages if you’d like, and enjoy an evening on the water beneath the changing colors of the sky.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Big Island of Hawaii
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
