Step Aboard the 170-by-50-foot "Ruler of the Sea"

Ancient Polynesian ocean voyaging canoes were feats of engineering and even today their elegance and efficiency seem amazing. Now you can experience the wonder of these sea-worthy vessels on the Alii Kai. Able to hold up to 500 people, it’s the world’s largest Polynesian Catamaran.

Come aboard for a sunset cruise and evening of music and dancing. As you glide by Honolulu, Waikiki, and Diamond Head be sure to take in the sight of the beautiful coastline and the always-spectacular sunset.

Aboard the Ali’i Kai our menus are created with a delicious mix of fresh, locally grown ingredients. The evening’s entertainment begins with a Polynesian Dinner Show featuring a variety of performers. Afterward, energized by the live music and party atmosphere, you’ll be encouraged to join in the dancing.

Hukilau: Hawaiian Style Clam Bake Dinner – Top Deck

Join us for a taste of one of Hawaii’s most beloved traditions, a celebration of the bountiful sea known as a hukilau. In old Hawaii, fishermen and families would gather to cast large nets into the ocean, hauling in a fresh catch to be shared with the entire village. It was a time of feasting and fun.

The Hukilau Dinner Cruise captures the spirit of this joyful event, a succulent seafood feast and dance party accompanied by live music, local beers, panoramic sunset vistas and an authentic island review. Board the upper deck of the world’s largest Polynesian catamaran and take a leisurely cruise along Waikiki’s golden shoreline as you dine on a tasty appetizer sampling then followed by a steaming medley of king crab, jumbo shrimp, clams, mussels, fresh corn on the cob, red skin potatoes, Kukui Sausage and topped with fresh Hawaiian Limu. Then complete your feast with Chef’s selection of desserts.
