WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO WATCH THE WAIKIKI FIREWORKS?
From the water. The fireworks are launched from a barge off the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and boats nearby get a far clearer view than the crowded beach. A private charter puts your group alone on the boat.

HOW THE CRUISE RUNS
Meet the crew at the gate entrance to Pier C in Kewalo Basin Harbor 15 minutes before departure. The boat cruises along the Waikiki coastline under the city lights to the fireworks area, where the show lasts about five minutes, then returns along the coast. You can play your own music and bring your own food and drinks.
