Overview
Unwind in true island style with our laid-back Sunset Coastline Cruise, departing from Kawaihae Harbor aboard our sleek, custom-built RHIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat) – Olohana. This evening escape is the perfect way to end your day on the Big Island — with stunning coastal views, golden skies, and the peaceful rhythm of the ocean.
Cruise along the rugged Kohala Coast as the sun dips toward the horizon, casting vibrant hues across the sky and water. It's one of the most beautiful times to be on the ocean - and a picture-perfect moment you won't forget.
Glide past dramatic lava rock cliffs, sea caves, and secluded caves as your captain shares stories of the island's history, marine life and geology. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins or even a breaching whale during winter months.

Itinerary
- The Kohala Mountains are the oldest of the five volcanoes that make up the Big Island of Hawai‘i, located at the island’s northern tip. Formed over a million years ago, Kohala last erupted around 120,000 years ago and is now considered extinct. Over time, erosion has dramatically shaped its landscape into deep, lush valleys and steep, rugged cliffs, especially on the windward (northeastern) side where abundant rainfall supports dense cloud forests and rich biodiversity. In contrast, the leeward (western) slopes are much drier due to the rain shadow effect. Rising to an elevation of about 5,480 feet, the mountain range is a crucial watershed, feeding numerous streams and rivers that carve their way through the terrain to the ocean. Kohala holds deep cultural significance as the birthplace of King Kamehameha I, who united the Hawaiian Islands.
