About this tour
Set out from Waikiki as the sun sinks toward the Pacific, painting the sky in warm colors above Diamond Head. This 90-minute Oahu sunset cruise follows Honolulu’s coastline, with views of the crater and Waikiki skyline from the water. Scenic stops give you time to take photos with Diamond Head in the background.
Cruise aboard the spacious, open 2025 Paulele power catamaran, with an experienced captain and crew. Settle in with complimentary juices, sodas, and water, or bring your own alcoholic drinks if you’re 21 or older. The boat offers room to relax and enjoy the ocean views as evening settles over the coast. Humpback whales are occasionally spotted during winter months, from December through April.
An Oahu sunset cruise by Diamond Head makes a memorable way to spend an evening on the water. Arrive 20 minutes before departure, bring your camera or phone, and enjoy the changing colors from the coast.

How the score works and rating distribution in Oahu
- 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 8.6. Top 9% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 9% of tours in Oahu by this score.
