HOW IT RUNS
You meet at MANA Cruises Waikiki, 05 Holomoana Street, Honolulu, HI, 96815. We may get a visit from Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin, Humpback Whales (Seasonally), Bottlenose Dolphin, Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles and even Flying Fish. As you get comfortable, our Captain and Crew will begin to prepare and plate our Pupu tasting menu for the night. Yes, we call it Pupus – but these Hawaiian style hors d’oeuvres, loved by our Captain and Crew will absolutely excite your palette. Eat, drink, and be merry as you take in the five senses of Hawaii.

WHO IT IS FOR
Couples and small groups who want dinner and a sunset rather than an activity. You leave the docks past Leahi, better known as Diamond Head, and sail out beyond the surf line-up for the view back at Waikiki. Once you are settled, the Captain and crew prepare and plate a pupu tasting menu – Hawaiian-style hors d’oeuvres they have chosen themselves – with bar and drinks options available alongside. The wildlife is genuinely unpredictable rather than guaranteed: Hawaiian spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, green sea turtles and flying fish are all possible at any point, and humpback whales seasonally. Two hours. You meet at MANA Cruises Waikiki, 05 Holomoana Street, Honolulu, HI 96815. Offerings are subject to change based on availability.
Consider instead: if you want to get in the water rather than watch it, MANA’s private snorkel and lunch cruise is $270 for a six-guest exclusive charter over 2.5 hours. For a sail without food, North Shore Catamaran’s two-hour cruise is $79, seasonally from October to 14 December.
