Good Experience, ok value
Very cool ride! The Positives: We saw monk seals, turtles, and fish. The captain was very humorous and laid back. He gave us a smooth trip, and he seemed very knowledgeable about where to see aquatic animals. The Negatives: The glass bottom was NOT clean or clear (filthy), so everything we saw was on the side of the boat. The complimentary water is more of an "as needed" amenity, so bring your own. Additionally, they ended the tour five minutes early (the primary reason I can't give five stars) and started after the scheduled start time for loading, so it's really not an hour tour. We were disembarking at 3:10 pm when it was scheduled to begin at 2:15 pm... But we left closer to 2:25 pm after the boarding and the mandated directions (i.e. don't jump overboard). So, we got 3/4 of what was advertised. Recommendation: Be ready to sit in full sun - the canopy doesn't cover about 25% of the boat. Bring water if you tend to need it. And sit on the Captain's right hand side (likely to the left as you board) for better views.

Just a boat ride
Four small floor windows—-not the usual large viewing window. We didn’t see anything underwater. We saw turtles, a seal and a fish on top of the water. Very disappointed. I feel it should not be advertised as glass bottom boat.

Bring whatever supplies you like but they have plenty of water. There is plenty of shaded seating. Beautiful views! We saw dolphins on our tour!

Really just a boat trip
This was really a boat cruise rather than a glass bottom boat tour. I saw turtles in the ocean but only a few small fish through the glass bottom. I've been on trips elsewhere and they fed the marine life a lot more food to attract them so you could see through the glass bottom. The staff were friendly and on time.

Jim and Kekoa are awesome
Kekoa and Jim are fantastic. Jim could actually moonlight as a comedian. We WILL do this tour again. We saw turtles, fish, coral, the view of Diamond Head was breathtaking. Money well spent.

Take this tour!
I went on this boat tour twice, a week apart. I had a fantastic time both times! We saw dolphins, turtles and fish. Our captain, Jim, was very knowledgeable and just a great guy. You get a beautiful view of the Waikiki shoreline and learned some history of the area. The boat is comfortable and gives you a perfect boat ride.

Austin and Casey were amazing! They added a lot of humor to the trip AND very knowledgeable about the local history and ocean life. We had a very enjoyable time and highly recommend the two!

Great start to morning
My wife and I had a great time. It was a pleasant ride and we were fortunate enough to see a couple pods of dolphins. Lots of Sea Turtles as well. Would recommend as a good start to the morning.

Fed fish, saw dolphins!
My partner and I are on this trip for our 5 year anniversary and we decided to book the glass bottom tour as a last minute excursion on our trip because it sounded fun and we were not disappointed! The view was beautiful and we even got to see dolphins! Our boat guides were Austin and Casey, Austin told us some background info on the sites throughout the tour and Casey checked in multiple times with everyone to make sure everyone was having an enjoyable experience. Our favorite part was definitely getting to feed some of the fish at the beginning of the tour and then seeing some dolphins at the end of the tour! Thank you to the crew for being so kind, we definitely recommend this tour!
