nice cruise with a great captain
The captain was top notch. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The highlight of the tour for sure. The boat was fine, but don't expect to see anything through the "glass bottom". The glass is minimal, and only viewable looking through portals. I was really disappointed when first arriving on the boat, but looking at other glass bottom boats in the marina I saw that they too only had small portals. The main issue is this tour never stops over a reef so you can actually look at fish. They throw food out and you can see a few fish come to eat over the side. It was a nice cruise with a great captain.

Dolphins, Turtles, Fish!!
Went on the 11:45 am ride. It was hot waiting to board the boat. There’s very little shade, I’d suggest bringing along an umbrella if you’re worried about cooking in the sun. Once we boarded, Captain Ian and mate Stoney (sorry if that’s not how you spell it) were welcoming and knowledgeable. There’s drinking water available, as well as a bathroom. You can bring snacks and drinks too. We saw a sea turtle before boarding, and one more large female (Ian knows the difference) as we were leaving the harbor. As we passed over the reef areas, you could see fish through the glass bottom. At one point, Stoney threw out a little fish food, and lots of fish swarmed near the boat. Then we saw several Spinner Dolphins in the water, even a young one with its mom. Ian even saw a shark, but it never resurfaced for us to see it. Thoroughly enjoyed our boat ride!! Thank you! FYI - I paid $13.57 for 3 hours of parking in the adjacent lot to the marina.

Ocean review
It was very fun and wish we had seen more fish, but you can't control what will be in the ocean near you. No Dolphins, but did see 2 turtles and lots of schools of fish.

Well worth the money
Had a great time out on the ocean. Saw a couple of turtles and several types of fish. Unfortunately, no dolphin sightings. Maybe next time!

Not worth it.
It was kind of boring. The glass part is a very small viewing area. We didn’t see much nor learned much.

We didn't see anything on the glass bottom, I don't recommend it to friends and family, the price was about right for what you get for

Great tour. Did not see marine life thru the glass but plenty over the side. Guides were very personable and knowledgeable.

Excellent driver who gave the history of the island.
The experience about the glass bottom boat was fantastic seeing the beautiful water. This is a great opportunity for the community to learn.

Few fish but fun experience to get “lay of the land”
The guide was funny and knowledgeable. We didn’t see many fish but did see a few sea turtles (not that anything could be done about that). Good way to see the shore and get recs for other activities and good beaches.

Great scenic tour
The tour was very scenic! We were able to see a few sea turtles, Needle nose fish, and many other colorful sea life. Captain Ian and Lorenzo weee quite informative and very friendly. If ever back in Hawaii, we would go again! Mahalo!

Great trip, great day!,
The boat felt safe, the captain was very entertaining yet completely in control of safety and made the trip very memorable. The weather was perfect. It was a wonderful experience that I am so happy we decided to do.
