Hawaii Big Island Sunset Coastline Cruise

Summary Description

Enjoy a breathtaking sunset cruise along the Kohala Coast aboard Olohana, a 41-ft luxury powerboat. Savor light bites as the sun sinks into the Pacific and watch for dolphins or whales in season.

Highlights
  • Glide past lava cliffs, sea caves, and secluded coves while enjoying panoramic views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualālai — and, on clear evenings, Haleakalā on Maui.
  • Watch for spinner dolphins playing in the wake, and during winter months, keep an eye out for breaching humpback whales.
  • Enjoy a peaceful, uncrowded setting with personal attention from your crew — perfect for couples, families, and friends.
  • Savor light refreshments and the gentle rhythm of the ocean as day turns to twilight — island bliss, pure and simple.
  • Cruise the Kohala Coast as the sun sinks toward the horizon, illuminating the ocean and island peaks in warm evening light — a picture-perfect time to be on the water.
