Best Waikiki Sunset Cruise: BYOB Sunset Sail with Swimming
Description
Our vessel "Hokulani" is a beautiful and spacious custom built sailing trimaran specifically designed for a comfortable ride in Hawaiian waters. What makes Hokulani unique from every other tour boat operating in Waikiki, is that she was designed with three separate hulls to provide an exceptionally smooth, fast, and stable ride even when conditions get rough. At 41 feet long, and 26 feet wide, her deck provides almost 1,000 square feet of room to move about on, while her open concept provides unobstructed open air views from almost anywhere on board. With 2 netted seating areas, 5 separate bench seating areas, and one extremely comfortable shaded lounge area that our crew affectionately refers to as "the nook", you'll always have access to a comfortable seat to enjoy a wonderful view from.

Wonderful experience. Intimate small group size, with a lovely crew of three. The crew is great at communication, taking care of the guests. We received complementary cold water bottles. Guest can bring their own beverages on board. Crew was great at making everybody feel welcome. Be sure to bring your own towels. My daughters and I had a blast , and my youngest had the absolute time of her life with crew encouragement, diving diving off the boat. Logistics: starting location for this catamaran cruise is next to the Hilton Hawaiian Village, a very doable walk from our resort in central Waikiki. Excellent customer service : An extra thank you to the company and the captain for their above and beyond excellent customer service retrieving my sunglasses which I had left behind on the boat, and dropping them off at my hotel. Overall: 10/10 recommend
Aloha Judith! Mahalo for such a thoughtful and detailed review. We're delighted that you and your daughters had such a memorable evening with us. It means so much to hear that the crew helped make your youngest feel confident and have the time of her life. We're especially happy we could reunite you with your sunglasses. Going the extra mile for our guests is part of the aloha we strive to share every day. Mahalo for choosing Three Tiki Sailing, and we hope to welcome your family back aboard for another unforgettable sunset!
So much fun! Great crew and love that they had an ice chest with ice and lounging bean bags! Underrated boat for sure
Aloha Anthony! Three Tiki slay... we'll happily take that title! 🤙 We're so glad you enjoyed the laid-back vibes, comfy bean bags, and BYOB setup. It's the little touches that make those sunset sails extra special. Mahalo for the kind words and for calling us an underrated gem!
Everything about this excursion was on point! The staff were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. The views of Waikiki, DiamondHead and the sunset were beyond stunning. When we stopped for swimming, we saw sea turtles, which is a very pleasant surprise! It was so calming sailing the ocean and witnessing the sunset. It was the icing on the cake for me!! BOOK IT NOW! Your only regret would be NOT doing it!
Aloha! "Loved, loved, LOVED" absolutely made our day! We're so glad you enjoyed every part of the experience, from the stunning views of Waikīkī and Diamond Head to the surprise turtle sighting during your swim stop. There really is something special about watching the sun set over the ocean. Mahalo for the amazing recommendation, and thank you for encouraging others to come experience it too. We hope to welcome you back aboard someday!
Wonderful memory with my two girls (19 and 15). Will cherish forever. The view of Diamondhead was amazing and the Sunset on the ocean was breathtaking.
Aloha Amanda! "Cherish forever" is one of our favorite things to hear. Sharing a sunset on the water with your daughters sounds like such a special evening. Mahalo for spending part of your Hawaiʻi vacation with us, and we hope to welcome the Atlanta girls back someday!
The boat went only to one part of the ocean and didn’t move , it was boring

Fun crew, awesome cruise. BYOB was cool. Would definitely cruise with them again!
Aloha! We love hearing that. So glad you had a fun time with the crew and enjoyed the BYOB vibe. Mahalo for coming out with us, we’ll be ready for you next time!
At. Least on our sunset sail experience, they never put up any sails!!! So it was a motorboat ride!! Had beautiful wind !! Never saw the crew once cruise started. Usually someone is making rounds and answering questions you might have.
Aloha Terry, Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your experience so that we can work to correct it. You are absolutely supposed to set sail on sunset. Can we have you reach out to us at admin@threetikisailing.com so that we can get more information about your reservation please? Mahalo
Really enjoyed the cruise, it wasnt overly touristy, just cruised the coastline and enjoyed our party. Picked this because we got to swim they even had snorkels on boat. Nice guys! Very chilled out time.
Aloha Natalia! We love hearing this, especially the “not overly touristy” part. That laid-back, cruise-the-coast vibe is exactly what we aim for. Glad you were able to enjoy your group, the swim, and just take it all in. Mahalo for coming out with us!
