Booking a private yacht charter in Oahu is already an unforgettable experience but why stop there? The island has so much to offer before you set sail and after you step back on land. From hidden beaches to local eats, here’s your guide to the best things to do in Oahu before and after your Island Jewel adventure.
Before Your Yacht Charter
Stroll Through Waikiki Beach
Ease into your day with a walk along the famous Waikiki shoreline. Grab a coffee, dip your toes in the sand, and soak up the energy before heading to the marina.
Shop Local at Ala Moana Center
Need sun hats, swimsuits, or just a little retail therapy? Ala Moana has it all — from designer brands to local Hawaiian finds.
Visit the Dole Plantation
Kick off your day with a sweet treat. Pineapple soft serve and garden tours are a fun way to get into the island spirit.
Hike Diamond Head
If you’re up for a little adventure before your cruise, this short but scenic hike offers panoramic views of Honolulu and the ocean you’re about to sail.
During Your Yacht Charter
Of course, the highlight of your day is aboard Island Jewel itself. Guests rave about:
- Sunset sails that paint the sky gold and pink
- Snorkeling stops at hidden reefs
- Swimming and jumping off the yacht
- Friday night fireworks cruises
It’s more than a ride, it’s the centerpiece of your Oahu getaway.
After Your Yacht Charter
Grab Dinner at a Local Seafood Spot
Fresh poke bowls, grilled mahi mahi, or a sushi feast nothing caps off a yacht day better than local flavors from the sea.
Sunset Drinks at Duke’s Waikiki
Keep the vibe alive with cocktails by the beach. It’s the perfect place to relive your yacht memories and toast to your adventure.
Night Stroll on the Beach
Waikiki’s shoreline is just as magical at night. Gentle waves, cool breezes, and the twinkling city skyline make for the perfect after-cruise wind-down.
Catch Live Music or a Luau
If you still have energy, end your night with a Hawaiian luau or live music. The culture, dancing, and food will leave you smiling long after the day ends.
