About this experience
Impress your family with the very Best Waikiki has to offer.
This is the only commercial cruise experience that tours within the tranquil waters of Waikiki rather than the open ocean. All other cruises on the island can make one feel sea sensitive as they go out to the wavy ocean. Our cruise is different because we only traverse the calm, gentle and serene waters of Waikiki's Grand Canal and up to Magic Island
Also unlike Catamaran rides where you have to be squeezed in with 80 other strangers, our tour only takes small groups of 1 to 4 passengers. Groups of up to 12 can tour via multiple gondolas.
Lastly, Gondolas make for amazing pictures. Unlike photos of standard cruises, you will be much happier displaying a photo of you Cruising on an fabulous work of art in Hawaiian paradise.
