Paint with Diamond Head in your peripheral vision and Waikiki’s glow beneath your feet. This two-hour Hawaiian-style paint party pairs guided instruction with sunset views — ideal for beginners and social nights out.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive Early for Parking
Validated parking is included but you must check in at the 3rd-floor front desk to access the 21st-floor Coconut Club elevator; plan 15–20 extra minutes.
Bring BYOB and Snacks
Alcohol and snacks are allowed — bring what you want to enjoy, but pack items in re-sealable containers to avoid spills on shared tables.
Dress for Paint and Breeze
Wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on and bring a light layer for the evening trade winds on the balcony.
Phone Camera for Reference
Take a few reference photos of the sunset and view before the light changes; it helps if you choose to paint independently.
