Why do travelers choose this tour?

With space for up to 12 passengers, this private Waikiki sail is great for small family and friends gatherings like wedding events and rehearsal dinners, romantic proposals, photo shooting, birthdays and other special occasions.

Each sail is customized for your group, so if you are looking to have a relaxing time anchored off the Waikiki shore, or if you are looking for excitement and adventure with a sail around the rough waters of Diamond Head, your captain and crew will do their best to accommodate almost any request.

The Pau Hana offers a large and stable ocean experience with a fully shaded and protective cockpit for those not wanting to brave the wind and sea spray, and a large lounging net at the front of the boat for those who are feeling more adventurous.

Depending on the weather and ocean conditions, you can even have a Waikiki sunset swim in the ocean before settling in to see the fireworks show. There are freshwater showers so you can rinse off, and a covered area where you can dry off before the evening's main event.
