Itinerary
Meet your shuttle at your hotel if you've opted for a shuttle option. Otherwise, make your way to Slip F28 off of Ala Moana Boulevard. Look for the yellow sign "Hawaii Nautical". Meet your friendly captain and crew and find a spot on the deck to get comfortable. Get a drink or two and watch the sun sink towards the horizon as the boat leaves the harbor.
Sail along the coast of Oahu towards Diamond Head and get out your camera to photograph the scenery awash in fiery sunset tones. Enjoy a light bento-style dinner that is sourced from Hawaii's local farms and oceans as much as possible. Two complimentary drink tickets are provided, and additional drinks can be purchased at the bar onboard the catamaran.
Then, sit back and enjoy the fireworks display over Waikiki, a Friday night tradition that lasts around ten minutes.
At the conclusion of your 2-hour cruise, the captain will return you to the starting point.

The crew was great and very accommodating. The light bento meal was very good as well as the drinks. One of my daughters started to not feel well and they came to her rescue with some essential oil and ginger ale. We had beautiful views and were in the perfect spot when the fireworks went off. Our other daughter actually got engaged when the fireworks starting going off. Everyone on board, crew and passengers were awesome. Definitely a tour worth going on.

This was a great excursion. The crew was very accommodating and professional. The views were very exhilarating and intriguing.

The crew (Chris Nicole and ...) were lovely, the drinks were good and the fireworks (though brief) were great. The food however was not worth the money and difficult to eat.

Wear slip on shoes. Bring a light jacket. Plenty of tip money
It was a very good time would recommend it to all.
GEORGE_W, Feb 2026
Not much of a dinner, but drinks were o.k. Firework show was good and had a great viewing location on the water.
Elaine_B, Feb 2026
Horrible customer service. No notice regarding pick up time not adequate location info and NO pickup up time given only time on ticket. No contact from anyone they don’t care!

Great evening fireworks cruise.
Not a sunset cruise.
Awesome boat captain and staff.
A great trip overall!
Susan_W, Dec 2025
Very nice experience with great crew! Everything was amazing and the sunset was gorgeous! We would recommend this cruise to anybody visiting Hawaii
STEVEN_H, Dec 2025
Beautiful evening on the water. Awesome job by captain Chris and his crew. Fireworks were great. Food was ok . Beef ,chicken & fish over rice . Was good but would have been better if still warm.

What a fun experience! It was easy to find inexpensive parking right at the pier. The crew, Greta and Natalie, were friendly and welcoming and happy which made the adventure great. Captain Chris, who they also call Captain Topher even though he goes by Chris, was witty, but most importantly a very safe catamaran pilot throughout the darkened harbor after sunset. He maneuvered us perfectly to watch the Friday night fireworks. The fireworks lasted maybe 5 to 10 minutes and was spectacular! The drinks were good and the bento box type food was tasty and also I felt much more sanitary than a buffet. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and felt it was worth the money! Do it! It was a rather smooth ride (it's the biggest catamaran) and I never got the slightest bit seasick in the middle of the boat.

The dinner & fireworks cruise with Hawaii Nautical was excellent. My family really enjoyed the food, beverages and breathtaking views. Also, the crew was extremely kind and provided outstanding hospitality. We loved the fireworks and the music. This is one activity you must do while in Hawaii.

It’s worth every penny, great time! The ride was very smooth, served great drinks and a light snack. Very pleasant experience

Great way to cap off an evening out or to start a later night experience. Capt Chris and crew was engaging and made the trip relaxing.

Great crew!!!! But this was a party boat not dinner cruise…. Food out of box is not a Dinner Cruise.. Don’t get dress up This is a Catamaran. U have to take off shoes to board. Great Crew drinks was strong but again not a Dinner Cruise!!!
Corrin_B, Sep 2025

Samara_H, Aug 2025
We had a beautiful time and loved loved loved the scenery, it wasn’t packed with people so we didn’t feel cramped at all which was nice! Loved the music, loved the workers, the ONLY thing that happened that was unfortunate was that my partner ended up throwing up due to the rocking of the boat because of the waves which we still had a good time and I catered to him the whole time until we got off which he was very relieved once that happened haha, anyways overall we had a good experience and would still do it again! ALSO LOOOOOVED THE FIREWORK SHOW!!

Janene_S, Jul 2025
Was a lovely evening on a Catamaran that went out to Diamond Head and back along the Coast for fabulous skyline and sunset vistas.
Crew were very professional and the food and drinks were as described.

The event was canceled, due to high winds! It was my wife's 50th birthday! We're visiting from Texas!
EJ_M, Oct 2024
Beautiful experience. My wife loved everything about it and it helped her get over her fear of the ocean.
Esperanza_K, Oct 2024

Luis_D, Sep 2024
Very welcoming, friendly service! The food was delicious! My family and I had a great time plus we met and chatted with some awesome people! Thank you for a beautiful night!!
Jennifer_V, Aug 2024
It was ok… the crew was amazing. They explained the trip, kept everyone engaged and were very hospitable. The fireworks lasted 3 min, and headed back to dock at top speed immediately after the fireworks were over. It was a great way to top off our vaca in Oahu. The food was rice and proteins— not great. Don’t believe the pictures and expect a nice meal….

All around incredible experience! The captain and crew were very accommodating. Our party of 9 ranged in ages from 3 to 66 and we all had a fantastic time. Excellent views of the sunset and fireworks.
Beeonca_B, Mar 2024
I rated the experience low because I booked based off of a travelers posted photos. This traveler posted photos of what looks like a luau on the boat and a plate of lobster for dinner on this fireworks cruise. That is not what I received on my experience. We got the boat and captain had a very welcoming welcome to everyone. He told us to grab our dinner which was contained in to go trays on the table. Although, the food was tasty, it was cold and needed to warmed up. The cruise itself was a nice ride and we enjoyed the 20min fireworks show of his lovely boat. The experience was not worth $175 unfortunately.

My wife and I were on our honeymoon to the islands for the first time and we heard there were fireworks every Friday night. We immediately booked this tour and it was so much fun! The boat is built for trips like this. Huge area to hangout at up top and a full bar with restrooms and places to sit in the cabin. The crew was so awesome and helpful. This trip really was worth it. Definitely would do it again.

From the attentive, friendly crew to the beautiful, well maintained ship the experience was an amazing night. Plenty of food and drink for everyone on board. The views from the water and the fireworks were just incredible. Highly recommend his event.
