Front Row Seats to Friday Fireworks

Every Friday night, Honolulu Harbor comes alive with a spectacular fireworks display, and there’s no better way to watch than from your private vessel on the water. Keanuenue positions perfectly for unobstructed views of the colorful pyrotechnic show reflecting off the water, creating a magical double display that land-based viewers cannot experience.

Stunning City Skyline and Harbor Views

As evening falls, watch Honolulu transform into a glittering metropolis with thousands of lights illuminating the cityscape. From your private vessel, enjoy panoramic views of the harbor, downtown skyscrapers, and the iconic Diamond Head silhouette against the night sky, all while cruising the calm protected waters of Honolulu Harbor.

Intimate Evening Atmosphere

The Keanuenue provides the perfect intimate setting for a romantic evening or special celebration. With gentle evening breezes, comfortable seating areas, and ambient lighting, your private fireworks cruise creates unforgettable memories while avoiding the crowds that gather on shore for the weekly fireworks spectacular.

About
Skip the packed shoreline and watch Waikiki’s fireworks from the best viewpoint possible—right on the water. This private boat tour cruises along Waikiki at night, giving you sparkling skyline views before pulling up offshore near the Hilton Hawaiian Village, where the fireworks are launched.

Because the show is fired from a barge offshore, boats nearby get a clear, unobstructed perspective that feels close, immersive, and far more relaxed than watching from land. The fireworks portion lasts about five minutes, and the cruise includes scenic city-light views on the way to and from the launch area.

This is your private ride, so you can set the vibe. Play your own music, bring your favorite snacks and drinks, and turn a simple fireworks night into a standout memory.
