Sunset Sail Plus Front-Row Fireworks
Most fireworks cruises leave close to show time. The Moana gives you the whole evening. Set sail from Kewalo Basin for a two-hour sunset cruise along Oahu’s coastline, with island music, your first drink on the house, and panoramic views of the Honolulu skyline and the Ko‘olau mountains.
As the sun goes down, the catamaran moves into position on the open ocean for a front-row view of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Friday-night fireworks. A fully stocked bar is open throughout if you would like more than your complimentary first round.
Keep an eye on the water along the way. Hawaiian spinner dolphins are possible year-round, and humpback whales visit from November through May. Rated 4.8 stars by more than 1,300 guests, it is an adults-only night out that makes the most of a Waikiki Friday.
