Kick off your weekend Hawaiian-style with a 1-hour Friday night fireworks cruise.

The one-of-a-kind glass-bottom boat lets you see marine life lit up by underwater lights, all while keeping you dry.

Soak in views of the Honolulu skyline, the sparkling Waikiki city lights, and the vast Pacific Ocean before the dazzling fireworks display lights up the night sky.

It’s a double light show with fireworks above and glowing sea life below, something standard cruises just can't match.
