    Great vibes!

    One of the best sunset sails I have done in Hawaii! Tommy made great drinks!

    Tasty cocktails and beautiful setting

    Friendly crew, comfortable and beautiful ride, and tasty cocktails. Very enjoyable experience. Our only complaint was that we chose this particular experience because it left from Waikiki and we could walk there, but because of the waves we had to take a Lyft to the new location.

    Sunset sail in Waikiki

    My family (my husband, 11-year-old boy, and me) took the sunset sail on the Hawea. We had a great time sailing along the Waikiki coast. The entire crew was friendly. The check-in process at the dock was quick. The 50-foot catamaran was sturdy that I didn’t get motion sickness. We’d recommend this tour with Waikiki Sailing Company.

    Perfect evening with a great bunch of guests and amazing crew

    We had a fabulous time on this sunset sail! Everything from booking to pick up and drop off went so smoothly. We had been watching the crew do regular pick ups throughout the day on Waikīkī beach and were so impressed with their friendly and efficient staff, but little did we know we would be joining the same crew that evening. On board, the atmosphere and care taken to ensure everyone was looked after and having a great time, whether young or old, singles, couples or groups, is to be commended. Drinks were delicious, music was great and there was plenty of room and time to relax, take photos or chat while enjoying the view and watching the beautiful sunset. Highly recommend and would definitely do this again.

    Board from Waikiki Beach for a scenic Sunset Sail on the Hāwea: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.

    How much does Board from Waikiki Beach for a scenic Sunset Sail on the Hāwea cost?

    +

    Prices start at $73 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Board from Waikiki Beach for a scenic Sunset Sail on the Hāwea take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oahu is not rushed.

    Is Board from Waikiki Beach for a scenic Sunset Sail on the Hāwea worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 326 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Board from Waikiki Beach for a scenic Sunset Sail on the Hāwea?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Board from Waikiki Beach for a scenic Sunset Sail on the Hāwea suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Board from Waikiki Beach for a scenic Sunset Sail on the Hāwea?

    +

    Around 114 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oahu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Board from Waikiki Beach for a scenic Sunset Sail on the Hāwea start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oahu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Oahu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Waikiki: Turtle Canyon Snorkel Adventure on Oahu, Hidden Gems of Oahu Circle Island Tour with Byodo In Temple, Oahu Catamaran Snorkel Tour: See Turtles 100% Guaranteed. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Oahu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Oahu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Board from Waikiki Beach for a scenic Sunset Sail on the Hāwea?

    +
