Watch the Kona Coast glow at sunset on a 90-minute catamaran sail with ocean views, light bites, and drinks from a premium bar.
About this tour
As the sun sinks toward the Pacific, the Kona Coast takes on shades of orange, pink, and gold. Settle aboard the Spirit of Aloha for a 90-minute Kona Sunset Sail, with panoramic views of the ocean and shoreline and a welcoming crew to help you relax into the evening.
Find a comfortable spot in the shaded or open-air seating, then enjoy light bites and a drink from the premium bar, which offers tropical cocktails, beer, wine, soda, and juice. A restroom is available on board. Dolphins are often spotted along the coast, and humpback whales may appear during the winter months from December through March, though sightings are not guaranteed. The cruise is family-friendly, suitable for all fitness levels, and life jackets are available for everyone.
Meet at Outer Basin Slip #39 in Honokohau Harbor and watch the coastline glow from the water. Choose this Kona Sunset Sail for an easygoing way to take in the island’s evening colors.
