The Ala Wai Boat Ramp in Honolulu, Hawaii provides access to the Pacific Ocean for kayakers, canoeists, and small powerboats. Located between Waikiki and Ala Moana beaches, the ramp offers scenic views of Diamond Head.
The Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor contains 699 berths with docks, a fuel dock, harbor office, and one public launching ramp. Facilities include restrooms, showers, and paved parking. Boaters should contact the harbor office in advance to secure a transient slip.
The protected waters of the harbor and easy ocean access make this a convenient launch point for paddlers and small craft. Experienced boaters may choose to venture out into the open Pacific, while those new to the area can explore the calmer inshore waters. Paddlers should be aware of currents, wind, and boat traffic when launching and returning.
