Why do travelers choose this tour?

Guests going on the Na Hoku 2 can look forward to an open bar with complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages with a variety of options including the iconic mai tai, tropical cocktails, beer, wine, and soft drinks.

Located just a few minutes outside of Waikiki, Kewalo Basin Harbor has affordable paid parking, and is also easily accessible by both public transportation, as well as taxi and rideshare services.

Where many other day sails are only an hour, the Na Hoku 2 features one hour and 30 minutes of fun on the water that is still the perfect length of time to fit into any Hawaiian holiday schedule.

For guests looking to stretch their vacation dollars, this economical and budget-friendly Hawaii day sail is a great way to not only enjoy refreshing beverages, but also to see some of the best views of Waikiki and Diamond Head.

Not only is this sail a top Honolulu happy hour pick, but it is a favorite amongst local Oahu residents to unwind and relax with their ohana (family) and friends!

How does it work?

Whether you are coming from Waikiki, Ko Olina, or any other area of Oahu, you will need to make your way to Kewalo Basin Harbor, located next to the Ala Moana Beach Park. There is paid parking available, but also, this area can be reached by bus or car services. Once you arrive, check-in with the crew of the Na Hoku 2, board the vessel, and then find a comfortable seat on the boat. Every seat offers great views, and once you are underway, grab a drink from the bar. Set out from the harbor as you cruise along the Waikiki coastline, and enjoy 90 minutes on the water.

Local expert tips

• While there is parking available, if all of your party members are planning on enjoying the included alcoholic beverages, it is best to order a taxi or rideshare. For guests staying in Waikiki, this option is very affordable.
• If you are planning on going out on the lounging nets, the waves will be bigger as you are heading towards Diamond Head, and you will more than likely get splashed, and sometimes, even completely drenched. On the ride back to the harbor, the ocean conditions are much calmer, and you will be less likely to get wet.
• Although all ages are welcome on board, parents and guardians should be aware that this is a party booze cruise involving alcoholic drinks with lively beats playing over the sound system, and may not be suitable for children.
• Many Waikiki day sails depart directly from Waikiki Beach, and require guests to wade through the ocean to reach the boat. The Na Hoku 2 departs from a harbor, and is a great option for guests who would rather not get wet or sandy before and after their tour.
• Before or after your sail, take the opportunity to visit the Ward Villages or Ala Moana Shopping Center to pick-up some gifts, check out local shops, or grab a tasty meal. There is also the Ala Moana Beach Park and Magic Island for a wonderful morning or afternoon at the beach with calm ocean waters and soft white sand.
• Recommend attire: This is a casual experience, and although you are welcome to wear whatever you like, keep in mind that there could be some ocean spray. If you plan on sitting on the lounging nets, wearing a bathing suit and a light cover-up is a good idea.
• Recommend items to bring: If you are planning on drinking alcohol, don’t forget your valid government-issued photo I.D., and a strap for your camera or phone is highly recommended.

How to get there?
