My BEST friend reserve some tickets for a Sunset Catamaran Cruise on my Birthday. It was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. ONE of my Best Birthdays to date. The Staff and Crew were so Amazing, Friendly, Fun and Professional. I felt so Elevated as a Local getting to see the Island from another Perspective on the Water. I really enjoyed meeting and being around /Connecting with new people. Just having a Glorious time. I would Highly Recommend this Catamaran Cruise to Visitors -and- Locals alike as someone who lives here I want to take advantage and go on the many options that they have to explore and provide for your time out at Sea. I would behoove anyone who wants to feel FREE and have fun to partake on this awesome adventure. What a treat that we have such GREAT Local Staff that want to share their passion, fun and joy to those around them. It's something that I will absolutely never forget and LK forward to exploring again and again. iMahalo the Crew from that day for their FUN and Professional Spirits such a blast. #JUSTKEEPSAILING THE WORLD IS A "HAPPIER " PLACE !

By far the best catamaran in Waikiki! JJ & Justin are both great captains and all of the crew is amazing. Aidan is hilarious and so personable yet so professional at the same time! I can't say enough about the boat and all of them! Book now, this is a must do! read more

We had visitors who wanted to do a 1.5 hour sunset cruise! Around $67 per person with taxes and fee. We did an early check in at 5pm and met them outside of Duke's restaurant. You can't miss it, it's the big red/yellow catamaran on the shore. By 5:30pm we set to sail! All Drinks were complimentary on this cruise, which is a good deal! There was beer, wine, soft drinks, Mai tais, and mixed cocktails available. You will need to walk into the sand/water to climb aboard. Time it with the waves so you don't get too wet! First thing on the boat - You will be taking off your shoes and putting it away until the end of the boat ride and then find a seat, grab drinks, and enjoy the ride! I recommend sunscreen, sunglasses, Dramamine (non-drowsy), and water shoes! The crew was very friendly and nice. This is was first time I got nauseous at sea, so I recommend sitting on the SIDE of the boat and drinking less. The middle of the boat is very rocky and will make you feel worse. I did not drink as much, but everyone else was having a blast! It was a fun and different experience for us. The views were gorgeous out on the water! read more

Everything about this experience was fun and easy. Booking online was easy and convenient, we were able to book same day. We attended the sunset cruise from the harbor and the vibe on the boat was so fun. Captain Jeff, Caleb, and Zi did a great job keeping everyone safe but also keeping the vibe fun and energetic. Gorgeous views and unlimited drinks. Definitely worth it. read more

We were chilling on Waikīkī today and we saw several catamaran sails available o. The beach. We've been on one once before years ago and decided to do it again. This one hour cruise sails to diamond head and offers unlimited drinks. The crew was amazing and made sure our drinks were always full. A wonderful way to spend an hour on the open water to enjoy the beautiful weather. Definitely recommend Na Hoku 3 when in Waikiki. read more

Our Sunset 1.5 Hour Sail was Magnificent! We boarded just steps in front of Duke's in Waikiki Beach. The crew was very informative and took care of us throughout the whole sailing. It was an open bar with selections of drinks and beers and sodas. Views from a distant length was spectacular showcasing Diamond Head and the skyline of Waikiki. The best part was that beautiful sunset. Definitely a good experience while visiting Oahu. read more

Best sunset cruise ever!!! Nick was the best. He was very caring, professional, and personal. 10/10 stars! Nick should get a promotion or be manager! Highly recommended. read more

When my bestie told me she booked us a catamaran for my 41st birthday I never could have imagined how epic it would be. The music, the drinks, the views & the crew were top tier. Thank You Stevie, Caleb & Noah, a new tradition has been born! read more

I've done their sunset cruise 3 times now. Beautiful sunset ride around Diamond Head. Drinks on board included. Crew is super friendly and goes out of their way to take care of you. Expect to get a little wet and sometimes gets a little rough depending on the weather. read more

Our first trip to Hawaii and we had no idea what to see, what to expect. We walked to the beach behind our hotel and there was the Na Hoku 3 calling our name. With no reservation we easily signed up for the Diamond Head Sail and were helped aboard the boat. The entire experience was wonderful, starting with our hosts, Jerry and Mahala, the beautiful weather, the view of the south shore of Oahu, Waikiki Beach, and Diamond Head, the free drinks, and loved the great selection of music. It took us back years to our youth. This was the highlight of our visit to the Aloha state. I would rate this a "Must Do" for anyone visiting Oahu. read more

If you're in Waikiki and haven't experienced the Na Hoku 2 you should definitely go. Trust me, this is not your average boat ride. Picture this: Captain Justin--yes, a literal bronze god with long, flowing blond curls that belong on a movie poster--is at the helm. Seriously, he could be a Hollywood star, but instead, he's guiding you through the stunning waters, rolling with a perfect mix of island vibes, and talk about a small world when we were chatting with Jay, we discovered that we were both at the same Chargers/Raiders game a couple of years ago Small world, right? It was just nice, beautiful day,nice people Could have been longer but actually it was just perfect read more

It would hard to enjoy a boat ride where unlimited booze is offered. Na Hoku offers a short sail in the bay and the price is relatively reasonable provided you drink up. The mood is festive and having the breeze against your face cannot be beat. The boat advertises an hour ours ran about 45 minutes. read more

I wanted to leave more stars but just couldn't. We've gone on several sunset catamaran cruises on other boats and this was our least favorite. On the plus side the staff was very friendly and courteous. On the negative side, this particular cruise seemed to attract people who wanted to get drunk and stagger around to the sound of extremely loud dance music. I have no problem at all with people partying, but that wasn't the experience we were looking for on our last night in Waikiki. It was clear from talking to several other couples that we weren't the only ones who felt that way. Perhaps a solution might be for some cruises to be designated for hosting loud music and dancing, while others could be designated as quieter cruises for people who want to enjoy beautiful scenery along with some Hawaiian music. Mahalo! read more

5 star service! I highly recommend! Came out and had the best time. Beautiful experience! Justin as the captain was amazing! Made us feel very safe & drove the boat great! Beau that is apart of the crew honestly made our time! He was very hospitable, personable & knowledgeable as well. We definitely will be back! Mahalo read more

Such a fun time! They pick up and drop off right from Waikiki beach. Mary, Justin, and Jay were killer captains and hosts. They even caught a big fish while we were sailing which was an awesome experience. I always recommend going out for a sail with this boat anytime someone I know visits Oahu. read more

Awesome experience in Waikiki - definitely a fave from our trip to Hawaii. Reservations, checkin and boarding were all very smooth. We did the sunset sail and enjoyed all the drinks and views - it helped we had a stunning sunset. Highly recommend for a unique experience in Honolulu. I will say it was pretty choppy but I took a dramamine prior to going out and didn't feel sick at all. Fun crew; would absolutely book again. read more

Wonderful sunset cruise along w/ good drinks & music. Great access right off of the beach in Waikiki at the Westin Surfrider Hotel. Stay after and have dinner in their patio under the Banyan tree Nice music there too. read more

The Diamond Head Happy Hour Sail was an amazing experience! We came across this sail on TikTok and let me say, it was totally worth the hype. The reservation process was so seamless and the check in flow was so smooth. Alex (or Alec sorry) was a great host! His intro was very entertaining and his crew was just as great. The bartender Stevie from Ohio was extraordinarily friendly and attentive. They served your drinks to your spot on the boat and consistently check in with you. Did I mention this was an open bar? Already worth it just by that! We had the opportunity to sit on the roof as well as the net. It was a beautiful experience seeing the ocean from this view, we definitely recommend spending an hour of your time for this lifetime memory. P.s Stevie we'll see you at Lulu ! read more

Service was great from the crew. They checked on all the guests. It was a fun tour but the sunset wasn't great. Definitely in a very touristy part of town but still fun. On Fridays the have fireworks on the same beach this takes place on, you just have to walk further down the beach. More booze cruise vibes then peaceful sunset but still fun. read more

This sunset catamaran cruise is a must! Totally worth the extra money (compared to happy hour cruise) to see the glorious colors of sunset and the Honolulu coastline lit up by the city lights in twilight. Their route took us across Diamond Head to where we could see beautiful Maunalua Bay before turning back. Their mixed mai tais were too sweet for us to keep downing (open bar), so we switched to their beers. They also had a few other basic mixers and alcohols to concoct standard drinks. The staff is friendly (great vibes!) and played chill reggae jams with some throwbacks on our way back in. We weren't lucky enough to get a whale or turtle sighting, but they do happen on occasion! I came here with a few visiting friends for a COVID safe activity. The boat had plenty of space and breathing room for groups to sequester off into their areas. Lots of fresh air and wind. After the boat gets started, you're allowed to sit almost anywhere on the boat (including the roof!) for stunning views. Bring a light jacket for when the sun goes down :) Check in is out on the beach at the catamaran. read more

I've been on their boat three times the last three times I've been to Hawaii. They always do an amazing job! The staff are friendly, and the drinks are cold. I think it's the best fun you can have right off of Waikiki Beach. read more

I had the best time on Na Hoku 2! Waikiki is so beautiful - its hard not to have a good time on the water! What really makes a booze cruise is the crew, the drinks and the music. Na Hoku 2 delivers on all 3! Will be back next time I'm in Waikiki! read more

The crew was amazing! The catamaran was awesome! We highly recommended them! The were entertaining and just marvelous!

Booked a sunset cruise the day before. Drinks are included which is great for the price! The sun set just as we were arriving into the harbor. Everyone working on board was friendly and very communicative. Keep in mind when booking this cruise- it's VERY LOUD, some of the music is obnoxious techno but otherwise good tunes. The mixed drinks are a 2/5, go for the beer. I would not recommend bringing any children under 15. read more

Great fun, highlight of our short Honolulu stay. Definitely worth the fair price. The only advice is making sure your in line for the right boat as there are two. We got there early and found out we were in wrong line so then we ended up getting on the right boat last, not having any actual seats left. We had to sit up front in kind of a make shift area but the weather was warm thankfully because we really got splashed but it felt great and obviously had unobstructed views that were glorious. Staff friendly and they kept the Mai Tai's flowing. We had a wedding party on with us but that was fine. Everyone mingling. Must c got loud but the guy in charge asked us if it was too loud and we said it was totally fine. It was like 2-3 hrs. Didn't want it to end but our bottoms were getting a bit sore. Definitely would do again and highly recommend! read more

Bought this on groupon. PROS: Got an amazing deal for two. Great price, super friendly crew. Offered/sold drinks, had great music, plenty of seating or standing room. even got to see some sea lions/baby whales. Cons: super small awkward restroom. And couldn't find the check in point. Would do it again. And strongly recommend. read more

great value experience. I found the yellow and red boat in front of Duke's at 11am. I did a walk-in; I paid $35 per person for all u can drink (beers and mixed drinks). It was actually 90 minutes including the half hour we drank onboard when it was docked. It was a windy day so the ride was inevitably bumpy. I highly recommend it for people who don't get sea sick. read more

Wow! What a crew!!! These guys always have the best time with their passengers. JJ the captain is always so accommodating and personal. I will always recommend the Na Hoku 2 and 3 for anyone visiting. A Hawai'i MUST DO!!!! read more

Great cruise, friendly captain & crew. We did the 10 am sail for an hour. There was only one other couple on the sail, so it was very nice, almost like a private cruise. The crew provided nice drinks (alcoholic & non alcoholic; the mai tai mix was good), and were happy to take our photos with diamond head in the background. read more

5-stars - Very accommodating to our schedule! We were originally reserved for the Kewalo Basin sunset sail but it was cancelled due to low attendance; at which point the company reserved two for us automatically at the Waikiki location. Great customer service! read more

This business has absolutely no knowledge nor any respect for maritime law. The captain, even after being warned of the right of way, nearly ran over my teammates in a self powered 6-woman outrigger canoe today. Because of his stupid arrogance and incompetence, he could have caused serious injury even death to my teammates. Not only was the captain aware of the situation that could have been avoided with early intervention, he started yelling profanities at both us (the support crew) and the canoe, and told the paddlers in the canoe that he "will run them over" while also verbally abusing them. We knew that we had the right of way seeing as the business tried to apologize at a later time. Ocean life, therefore ocean safety/etiquette, is crucial in Hawai'i, and this business disrespected all of it to the highest degree. I write this review to encourage people from our community and incoming tourist to not book and support this business. Never have I experienced another watercraft that would deliberately put others in harm's way for the enjoyment of others. I doubt the captain cared or even knew of the seriousness of the situation, but to watch my teammates almost be crushed by a vessel 3-4x the size of their own craft was terrifying. As a local I will NEVER support this business and will encourage my community to know the blatant disrespect, unprofessional manner, and carelessness of life this business's captain showed. Shame on you. Absolutely disgusted. read more

This boat docks right off the Waikiki shore in front of Dukes. If you have a beach day consider booking this to take a break from the beach and grabbing a few drinks. The crew is extremely helpful and also good with children. It's a booze cruise but at 10am it's a good mix of people on board, don't feel discouraged about the drinking mentioned on the site. Go ahead and have a few yourself since you're not the one driving read more

This is for sure a bang for your buck. We were scheduled for a 4 pm cruise. We had to meet at the pier due to rough conditions at Waikiki beach. That wasn't an issue for us though. We started to board the boat and was greeted by the crew. Captain JJ and the crew were great host. Good music, good drinks and good vibes only. The people we were with were also lit and everyone had a great time. Views are nice at every angle. Lots of space on the boat and most places are fair game. There is also a splash net in the front of the boat if you wanna have a chance to get wet. Bring sunscreen and good vibes and you'll have a good time. Did I mention it was only $40? PS: watch your phones/cameras because mine slipped out of my pocket. Luckily, it was a few inches before going overboard. We laughed and partied on. Captain JJ said it happens a lot and that would for sure be a buzzkill. I would recommend for both tourist and locals! read more

Just witnessed the captain of this boat verbally abuse and berate a bystander for apparently being in the way of the boat. The disgusting reaction from the captain was completely over the top and out of line. He was screaming profanities in front of all beach patrons, hotel guests and children. I would avoid this boat if you were thinking of getting on it! I understand safety issues with someone being in the way but this was absolutely absurd. He actually got off the boat and verbally assaulted the guy on the beach. Ridiculous. read more
