Start your day with coffee on a yacht.We've partnered with Oceanside Bakery and Honolulu Coffee Company to offer fresh Kona Coffee and freshly baked pastries on board the historic Vida Mia. Departing right from Waikiki, the Vida Mia Coffee Cruise is one of the best ways to start the day. Our coastal cruise offers great views of Diamond Head as we tour the coast of Waikiki and Honolulu. Sea conditions are prime early in the morning. The winds are low and the ocean is calm, making it an ideal time to view marine life. We often see pods of dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. Guests are invited to tour the entire historic vessel and our knowledgeable crew is there to help pass on their knowledge and the history of the Vida Mia.Winner of the USA Today Top 10 Readers Choice Award.

The food is outstanding, it isn’t quite as secret or hidden as they let on, but it is a nice little dark cave of a place serving near gourmet food. Great place for a romantic dinner, or a secret rendezvous.
