2.Luxury Catamaran Cruise from Oahu

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 682 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Sail from Kewalo Basin aboard Makani Catamaran for about two hours, with Waikiki and Diamond Head views, a complimentary drink, and chances to spot turtles, dolphins, or seasonal whales. Choose an afternoon sail or sunset dinner cruise, with hotel pickup available for a fee.

“I am not sure luxury would be in my description, Casual would be a better fit. The crew was friendly, but the 2 free drinks is a little misleading. All alcoholic beverages come with a price. It was also a bit crowded with little seating for the 3 hours we were out there.”
