11.Best Waikiki Sunset Cruise:BYOB Sunset Sail with Swimming

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 191 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $71

BYOB sunset sail with swimming in Waikiki. Sail past Diamond Head and the Royal Hawaiian, then snorkel and swim off Waikiki.

“Out of all of the crews we could have picked, I’m glad we chose this crew. Although it’s BYOB, it’s perfect for my family who doesn’t care to drink anyways - we had another “open bar” boat who was loading up next to us and it was WAY too many people and it looked over crowded - this crew was small but the journey felt much more intimate and they were all super friendly and I felt safe throughout the whole trip!”
