Correct Price Guarantee with Active Oahu

Pricing on the checkout page comes directly from the tour operator, therefore, pricing listed on the website may vary from those in the checkout due to the tour operator changing the prices without notifying us. If you notice any prices are not correct, Contact Us so that we can update that information.

The price at the checkout is always the correct and accurate price and will be the same price you will pay if you were to book direct with that tour operator. We protect you against arriving at a destination and finding the same tour or activity offered at a lower price from our operator.

Discount Codes

We believe you should get the lowest price possible offered by the tour operator. Many tour operators offer online booking discounts and we try to make sure those are posted on our website. We try to keep those updated, but sometimes they expire or change. If you notice any discount codes don’t work or are missing, Contact Us so that we can update that information.

Most tour operators will gladly refund your purchase if it’s more than 48 hours before your activity start time.

The tour operator’s contact information is included in the confirmation email.

All refund decisions will be made by the tour operator you book with.

Activity Overview

A glistening path of golden light dances across the water to meet the sun as it slides beyond the horizon. Imagine yourself standing, casually leaning against the cool metal railing of the boat. You rest your chin in your hand and are completely absorbed in the moment.

The boat departs the harbor and you will get views of Diamond Head crater off in the distance with beautiful golden lighting. The entire coastline has a magical cast to it during the last hour of direct sunlight.

Not only will you get majestic views of the sunset, but the city lights are also a spectacle. They sparkle and reflect off the water like hundreds of stars. It truly is a great way to get a paradise experience.

 

 City Light Sail

The city light sail consists of a trip along the south coast in a state of the art catamaran. This boat has covered and uncovered seating and has plenty of seats and tables to dine at. It is also equipped with two restrooms and a Bose surround sound stereo on board to create a fun and relaxing mood for everyone.

Getting to the catamaran

There is complimentary round trip Waikiki hotel transportation. There is also parking at the Kawelo Basin Harbor if guests  drive themselves.

 

Ocean life

Dolphins and sea turtles are a common sight on all sails. The dolphins like to play just beyond the hulls while the boat is in motion. The water off the Honolulu and Waikiki coastline are clear and blue making it easy to spot sea turtles. Look for their heads when they come up for air.

Humpback whales migrate to the warmer waters of Hawaii during the winter months between November to May. You have a chance of spotting whales breaching off in the distance as well.
