Sail Waikoloa’s Kohala Coast at sunset, with Pacific views, island-style bites, and a premium bar aboard a comfortable catamaran.
About this tour
Watch the Kohala Coast glow at sunset on a Waikoloa Catamaran Sunset Sail. Depart from Anaehoomalu Bay aboard the Spirit of Aloha and cruise into the Pacific, where open-water views frame Mauna Kea, Hualālai, and the changing island sky.
Settle into shaded seating and enjoy light island-style bites as the sun sinks toward the horizon. The premium bar serves tropical cocktails, beer, wine, soda, and juice, while the catamaran’s stable design helps keep the ride comfortable. The cruise lasts approximately 1.5 hours, though weather, wind, and water conditions can affect the timing. This barefoot sail offers an easygoing way to take in the evening scenery, whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply making time for the sunset.
For your Waikoloa Catamaran Sunset Sail, check in at Anaehoomalu Bay. Park at the A-Bay Beach parking lot, walk onto the beach, and follow it to the white Hawaii Nautical check-in sign. Come aboard and enjoy the coast as daylight gives way to evening.

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 7.0.
