Nagaoka Fireworks Sail

A Celebration of Peace

Watch the historic Nagaoka Fireworks illuminate Waikiki’s night sky from our luxury catamaran during the annual Honolulu Festival finale each March. These spectacular Japanese fireworks symbolize the peace and friendship between sister cities Honolulu and Nagaoka, carrying a profound message of world peace and unity. Skip the crowded beaches and enjoy unobstructed views of this breathtaking display from the water.

The Nagaoka Fireworks tradition began in 1946 as a memorial following the devastation of World War II, serving as both a tribute to victims and a prayer for peace and recovery. Since becoming sister cities in 2012, Honolulu and Nagaoka have shared this powerful tradition, with the fireworks honoring victims on both sides and symbolizing reconciliation between two cities once impacted by war. What was born from tragedy has blossomed into a beautiful celebration of friendship and a shared commitment to world peace.
