Hawaii Nautical · Waikiki
Ninety minutes on a catamaran along the Waikiki shore toward Diamond Head, with a bento box of appetizers, two cocktails and soft drinks as you like. Pick it when you want the sunset and a drink, and plan dinner ashore afterwards.
Hawaii Nautical runs sailing, snorkel and whale watch trips from Waikiki, Kewalo Basin, Ko Olina and Waianae. This one is its Waikiki sunset cruise: the listing describes a catamaran gliding from Waikiki toward Diamond Head while the sky changes colour, with an individual bento box of appetizers, two alcoholic drinks and unlimited soft drinks. Beer beyond your two drinks is sold at a discount. It is a barefoot cruise, and your shoes stay at the pier.
The company's own Waikiki sunset sail page gives the details for its Waikiki departures: check-in at the Waikiki Beach Activities kiosk at the beach end of Paoa Place, by Hilton Hawaiian Village, 20 minutes before departure, with paid parking at the Hilton about a 15-minute walk away. It also says it no longer provides transportation. Your Viator voucher has the exact meeting point and time for your date.
Set your expectations right. This is a drinks-and-snacks sail, rated 4.7 from 931 reviews, and the reviews are mostly about the crew. If you want a hot meal on the water, look at the Star of Honolulu buffet. Two more limits from the listing: it is not wheelchair accessible, and it is not recommended for pregnant travellers.

★★★★★This was the 2nd time we’ve taken this excursion with this company and both times have been great. The staff most recently was incredible! Very kind, personable, attentive, got to know each passenger. [...] Drinks were fantastic and plentiful. The little charcuterie box was perfect size for a small appetizer.
★★★★★We thoroughly enjoyed the sail. Plenty of room to move around on the boat. Staff were helpful and attentive. Snacks and drinks were good. Would highly recommend this sail.
