Are there sunset dinner cruises in Honolulu?
Yes — Honolulu has several excellent sunset dinner cruise options departing from the Aloha Tower Marketplace in downtown Honolulu. The Star of Honolulu (9–139) is the flagship option with a 232-foot vessel offering multiple dining decks, live Hawaiian entertainment, and a narrated cruise past Diamond Head and the Waikiki coastline. Their Friday evening cruise (65–219) is timed to coincide with the weekly Hilton Hawaiian Village fireworks display. Atlantis Cruises runs a competing dinner cruise on a trimaran from the same pier at lower price points. For a more intimate sailing experience, private catamaran sunset sails depart from Kewalo Basin for 4–8 passengers. Most cruises run 2–2.5 hours departing around 5:00–5:30 PM and returning before 8:00 PM. Book the Star of Honolulu's Friday fireworks cruise 2-3 weeks ahead — it's consistently the most popular sailing activity on Oahu.
