Ala Wai Boat Harbor
3.9 (14 reviews)
Ala Wai Boat Harbor is Hawaii's largest small boat and yacht harbor, tucked along Oahu's south shore at the mouth of the Ala Wai Canal near Waikiki. It can handle vessels up to 85 feet with 699 berths, dry storage, MSD pumpout, and a boat ramp — solid infrastructure if you're keeping or launching a boat on the island. The location is hard to beat, putting you steps from Waikiki's restaurants and beaches while still feeling like a working harbor.
