The Experience
Before You Go
Bring photo ID
This tour is 21+ and bartenders will check ID for alcohol service—keep it on you for boarding.

Shoes aren’t allowed onboard; bring non-marking socks or shoes you can remove quickly for boarding and stability on deck.
Consider motion sickness prevention
Take medicine before boarding if you’re prone to seasickness; the boat is stable but open ocean can roll after sunset.

Space onboard is limited—one small bag per person is advised and large backpacks may be refused.

Conservation Note
Respect marine wildlife by observing from a distance and never feeding animals; the area is monitored to reduce disturbance to turtles and dolphins.
Kewalo Basin transformed from traditional canoe moorings to a commercial harbor in the 20th century; Diamond Head is a volcanic crater formed nearly 300,000 years ago that now anchors Waikiki’s southeastern skyline.
