What makes this experience truly unique is that it takes wine tasting completely out of the traditional setting and places it on the open ocean along Oʻahu’s coastline. Instead of a bar or vineyard, guests enjoy a moving coastal journey where every moment changes with the light, water, and scenery.
The experience blends a guided tasting of four craft wines, a locally distilled Hawaiian rum, and artisan chocolate from Lonohana Chocolate, creating a layered tasting experience that feels both elevated and distinctly island-inspired.
What sets it apart further is the combination of ocean adventure and cultural immersion. Guests may encounter Hawaiian green sea turtles, dolphins, and seasonal whales while sipping, and select departures feature live performances by local artists, adding an authentic sense of place.
It’s a rare balance of relaxation, discovery, and connection—designed to feel social and memorable without being crowded or formal.

5.00Absolutely amazing, I would recommend this to anyone. We had wine while out on the ocean and blessed by beautiful Hula dance while the sun was setting. Our guide and Sommelier was absolutely wonderful. We even got to see a turtle once we got out there. The experience was a highlight for me.
Do this!! You won’t regret it!!!

5.00Such a unique, intimate, and one of a kind experience! On this tour we were able to cruise alongside the Waikiki coastline, we had the option to swim offshore Waikiki with beautiful fish and sea turtles with the beautiful view of Diamondhead in the background. After the optional swim, we slowly cruised into the sunset while tasting 4 different wines. Sophia gave the history of each wine, two of the wines were from Oeno winery🍷, Oahu’s only winery! She paired the different wines with nuts, toast crackers, and locally grown chocolate from Lonohana Estate 🍫 during the tastings they performed polynesian dances that made the trip very special. They even gave us the chance to hula dance with them. This tour is one of a kind!!! It merged a little bit of everything within a single tour. Wine tasting, dance performances, chocolate tastings, the sunset views and even the sea turtle sightings were a perfect way to wind down the evening!
