Route
How does the evening work?
The catamaran leaves Ala Wai Harbor for Waikiki's fireworks with Diamond Head visible offshore.
- pass by
1. Ala Wai Harbor
You leave from Ala Wai Harbor for views of Waikiki. The boat heads offshore for the Friday fireworks.
- pass by
2. Diamond Head
Diamond Head remains visible during the cruise around Waikiki. You watch the Friday fireworks from the catamaran rather than going ashore.
The outing takes 90 to 105 minutes and returns to the Holomoana Street meeting point. That duration covers the cruise and fireworks viewing together.
Pickup and meeting point
- Harbor meeting point: Pink Sails boards beside Prince Waikiki at 1 Holomoana Street. Your driver can use the hotel as the drop-off landmark.
- Fireworks arrival: Arrive 45 minutes before departure for the Friday fireworks cruise. Your journey to the harbor needs to allow for this longer boarding window.
- Parking rules: Yellow stalls aren't for cruise guests. An expired parking session can also lead to towing. Extending time in the app requires another scan of the sign's QR code.
- What to carry: A camera and light sweater suit the evening on deck. You can't bring your own alcohol aboard, and your hotel transfer is separate.
Before you book
- Bring a light jacket for your evening aboard. The cash bar doesn't allow BYOB.

Good to know
Know before you go
Children aged 0 to 3 have free infant tickets and sit on an adult's lap. The adult ticket band begins at 4. Your reservation can contain up to five travelers, including the children.
A camera and light jacket suit the evening outing. Your own alcohol isn't allowed aboard, and drinks from the bar cost extra. The boats carry life vests for emergency use.
The fireworks check-in window begins 45 minutes before departure at 1 Holomoana Street. Bring your mobile ticket to the Pink Sails location beside Prince Waikiki. Your boat leaves from Ala Wai Harbor.
Yellow parking stalls can get your car towed. Expired street parking can also lead to towing, and extending an expired session requires scanning the sign's QR code again. Your sailing time needs sufficient parking coverage.
Poor weather can lead to a new sailing date or a full refund. Minimum bookings can also affect whether the cruise runs. Your Friday plans shouldn't depend on an uninterrupted fireworks view regardless of conditions.
Your own cancellation qualifies for a full refund at least 24 hours before departure. Inside that window, the booking is nonrefundable. Booking approval is immediate, so your mobile ticket follows without a separate supplier approval wait.
