Cruise past Diamond Head at sunset, then dance to a live DJ as Waikiki’s skyline begins to glow around you.
About this tour
Set out from Kewalo Basin Boat Harbor as Honolulu’s evening sky shifts into sunset color. This 2-hour Oahu sunset party cruise pairs coastal views with a lively soundtrack, giving you a fresh perspective on Waikiki and Diamond Head from the water.
After a safety briefing and a group toast, explore the boat’s two decks, wraparound seats, and front bow. Watch surfers along the coast and keep an eye out for sea turtles, dolphins, or humpback whales. As the sun slips below the horizon, colorful lights illuminate the boat and a live DJ brings the dance floor to life. The city skyline glows on the return to the harbor, and Friday departures may offer views of the fireworks from the water. Wednesday cruises feature 80s and 90s hits.
Your ticket includes one drink ticket; additional drinks are available for purchase onboard. Bring a light jacket and travel light, then book your Oahu sunset party cruise for an evening of ocean scenery, music, and Waikiki lights.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.69 from 161 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide 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 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 7.9. Top 18% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 18% of tours in Oahu by this score.
