Local expert tips

• Before or after your sail, take some time to explore the up and coming Kakaako neighborhood, home to local shops and restaurants.
• While parking is available at Kewalo Basin, it can get busy, so guests may want to consider using public transportation or a rideshare/taxi service for convenience.
• The best seats for the fireworks display are on the side of the boat facing the Hilton Hawaiian Village, so grab a spot on the main deck or upper deck for front-row views.
• What to bring: While not required, guests are welcome to bring snacks to enjoy alongside the provided soft drinks and juice.
• Recommend attire: Comfortable clothing with a sweater, light jacket or hoodie since it can get chilly on the water.
