Nestled between Waikiki and downtown Honolulu, Ala Wai Boat Harbor places you at the center of Oʻahu’s vibrant coastal life. As the largest small boat harbor in the state, this location offers unparalleled access to world-renowned beaches, calm offshore waters, and some of the most scenic cruising and deep-sea fishing in the Pacific. Just steps from Ala Moana Beach Park and Magic Island, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy a day of island-hopping, snorkeling, whale watching (in season), or leisurely cruising along the Waikiki shoreline. From the moment you leave the dock, Diamond Head and the Honolulu skyline provide a breathtaking backdrop to every outing. Surrounded by restaurants, resorts, and cultural landmarks, Ala Wai Boat Harbor is more than just a marina—it’s your front row seat to the best of island life, where adventure, relaxation, and aloha spirit meet on the water.
