Upscale boat ride with a very small group
Big and gorgeous boat for only 6 riders. Everyone can find a private and comfortable spot for a very relaxing 2 hours ride. Very friendly crew, beautiful view, nice food/drinks. Our highlight for this trip, highly recommend !
Response from the operator: Aloha Guangt...! Thanks for sharing your Waikiki Sunset with us on this small group option. We will look forward to hopefully seeing you again in the future. Mahalo - The MANA Crew

Sunset Tour
Classy experience. Captain knew his history. Meal was more than enough food. The boat was spacious so you could be alone in a space and just enjoy the view.
Response from the operator: Mahalo Kym_A! It was a pleasure hosting you on our Waikiki Sunset Cruise and thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Captains Tasting. Until next time! With all the aloha - The MANA Crew

Mana Cruise + Charters - would recommend!
We actually did two different tours with them - one being the sunset/tasting small group experience, the other was a private inshore fishing experience. Both experiences were fantastic. For the sunset yacht experience, we saw A LOT of spinner dolphins. We were told that sunset is when they become active. A few came up and swam right next to the yacht. the scenery was beautiful. We got a nice sunset view of Diamond Head. The yacht was also very clean and well-kept. Our captain was Garrett and first mate was Ty. They were both awesome. They had a lot of knowledge of the wildlife and the culture. It was very interesting listening to them. Food was delicious. It is a tasting, after all. If you have a bigger appetite, you might want to plan for something additional before or after the cruise. We also had captain Garrett for the private fishing experience. Again, couldn't ask for a better captain. We did some trolling and then bottom fishing. We caught a bunch of fish and had a blast! Captain Garrett was super fun and easy to talk to. He had a lot of knowledge of the area and I learned a lot. My mom and I weren't the best fishers, but captain Garrett was super patient with us. Would highly recommend Mana Cruise, especially captain Garrett. Would definitely be back for more the next time we're in Hawaii.
Response from the operator: Aloha I49AHjo! What a treat to share both days with Captain Garrett! He is truly the host with the most and takes a great deal of pride to ensure everyone feels taken care of. We cannot thank you enough for sharing this time with us during your vacation! Sending all the aloha to you and your mom, until next time - The MANA Crew

Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $245 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 Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting?
+
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 Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting?
+
Around 3 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting 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 Oahu: Full or Half Day Grand Circle Island Tour, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour, Oahu Majestic Circle Island Tour with Waimea Falls and Byodo Inn. 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 Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting?
+
Included: Carbonated beverages; Bottled water; Snacks; and Dinner. Not included: Gratuities; Transportation to and from Marina; and Parking Fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting?
+
Please meet us in the lobby of the Prince Waikiki Hotel on Holomoana Street. Our team will greet you and guide you to our departure location. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Waikiki's Premier Small Group Sunset Yacht + Tasting?
+

+
