Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat
We had an incredible time on the Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat tour! From start to finish, the experience was smooth, fun, and memorable. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They pointed out sea turtles, colorful fish, and even a humpback whale during our ride. The views of Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline from the water were stunning—definitely a photo-worthy moment. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the vibe was very relaxed—great for families, couples, or anyone wanting a different view of Waikiki. We went on a sunset tour, and watching the sun dip below the horizon while cruising the calm waters was the perfect end to our day. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Oahu and want a short but sweet ocean adventure that’s fun for all ages.

Just okay
This was a nice boat ride but the glass bottom viewing ports weren’t really a factor since everything to see was swimming next to the boat tk get the fish food the crew was throwing overboard. Nice boat ride on thr open ocean though.

Enjoy it No Matter what
We enjoyed just being on the open water. You cannot control nature, it was still so beautiful, saw some sea life, our guide gave us a little bit of history on Hawaii and some of the sites that you can see from the open water highly recommend it. Yes, would do it again, even if we did not see anything sea life.

We had a great time on the boat ride. Captain Ford was very informed on the history of the area. Although we saw ZERO sea life we enjoyed the ride and conversation with Captain Jim. The dad jokes were an added bonus.

This bottom glass boat...
This bottom glass boat tour in Waikiki was truly unforgettable! As first-timers to Hawaii, we were looking for something fun, relaxing, and a little adventurous — and this tour delivered perfectly. The crew was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the ocean life we saw. The boat itself was super clean and the glass viewing panels were crystal clear, giving us amazing views of tropical fish, sea turtles, and colorful coral reefs without even getting wet! The trip was smooth and scenic, with gorgeous views of Diamond Head and the Waikiki coastline. We appreciated how safe and organized everything was, making it easy to just sit back and enjoy. The timing was perfect too — not too long, not too short. If you’re visiting Oahu for the first time, this is a must-do activity to experience the beauty of Hawaii’s underwater world up close. Highly recommend it for couples, families, or solo travelers!

Best view of Waikīkī and Honolulu possible
We saw turtles and several kinds of tropical fish. The captain was extremely knowledgeable about the species environment and most importantly the island wish I could remember his name but the skippers name was stone and I couldn’t forget that.

Disappointed
Scheduled originally at 1 then they changed to 1:30, then wanted to changed to 2:45. We had to be at the airport by 3:45 for flight home. I am STILL waiting to get a refund

Excellent way to see more of Waikiki
Excellent way to see more of Waikiki and get a glimpse at some of its wildlife. Second time taking a glad bottom boat ride. Crew was great and provided interesting information on the history of Waikiki and some of its key locations. Weather was rainy and we didn’t see much wildlife but still enjoyed the ride.

Worth the Trip!
Jim and Cam were great! This is a short little boat ride but is well worth doing! Even though we did not see any turtles, we saw several different types of fish! It was so fun watching them jump out of the water to eat the food Cam was tossing to them! The view of Diamond Head was perfect! Going down the coastline and hearing different historical facts was interesting!

Small fish boating experience
Captain Austin and Casey were super pleasant and very knowledgeable. I think they made it as interesting as possible. It was a little disappointing. I knew we probably wouldn’t see any whales but I thought at least dolphins. I think the name of excursion may need to be changed during off season.

Great Glass Bottom Boat Experience
The glass bottom boat excursion was very enjoyable. Austin and Casey were awesome, as well as very knowledgeable about marine life! They were very friendly and approachable, and did not mind answering any questions that were asked.

Why Glass Bottom?
The “glass bottom” had nothing to do with the tour. Although the captain and first mate were friendly and knowledgeable, the tour consisted of feeding fish off the sides of the boat, seeing a few turtles in the area where the snorkel boat tours were operating, and learning about the beach front. Absolutely NOTHING relating to its glass bottom feature.
