Stunning scenery
We had a delightful experience on the cruise, appreciating the stunning scenery and the opportunity to observe the remarkable sights of Waikiki from the water.

Sucks!
Just a darn boat ride. Glass is just 2 squares of to the side. Definitely not worth it! Live and learn. Never again lol that’s for sure!

Nice way to get in the ocean
Took a while to see marine life but it’s just something you have to expect. The captains were great, and the boat was clean.

Excellent adventure!!
We had an excellent time on the Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Cruise. The captain was extremely knowledgeable about the different fish, provided history about the island, and was very entertaining and funny. We saw a variety of fish, several turtles, and a whale or two. I highly recommend taking this cruise when visiting. You will not be disappointed!!

Great time with a beautiful sunset and awesome service for individuals for people with disabilities
This was a great time! Because it was evening, there were not many fish in the glass bottom but it was really neat seeing the coral and seeing how shallow the water around the island is. We were really there to see the sunset on the water and we saw more than just that. We couldn’t get too close but off in the distance we were able to see a mother and calf whale as the sun was setting. Also, our captain told us a lot about the island and Diamond Head was beautiful. Also, my daughter has CP. We brought a collapsible wheelchair for her and it easily folded under the seats and she was able to sit on board. I messaged the company ahead of time through the Viator app and they were very responsive. Also, a lot of boats you must remove your shoes but not for this one so since my daughter wears AFOs we did not need to remove them. This was a great deal for the price!!! Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

Worth the trip
Beautiful view of Waikiki beach from the boat. Saw some wildlife like dolphins, turtles and tropical fish. Guides were humorous and informative.

No wildlife viewing.
Didn’t see any wildlife-except when the crew threw a little food overboard a few tiny fish came up, They stopped the boat in the ‘turtle area’ but didn’t get close enough to see any. The bottom of the boat is not entirely glass- there are a few portals to look down in. So, it was just a quick boat ride with views of Waiki.

Viator Sucks
The whole boat experience and captain/crew were A+, however, booking through Viator was not. The guy said I could spread my mom's ashes, get there with 14 people in tow for the funeral, and was told I couldn't spread the ashes because it was booked wrong. Viator basically ruined the whole purpose of going on the boat, not to mention, the funeral. Thanks Viator, maybe hiring competent english speaking people would help with the miscommunication problem, just thinking out loud!

Sea life galore!
We saw whales and turtles. Lots of fish as well. Beautiful scenery. Not too long, not too short. Boat was not over crowded which was nice.

Lovely
Suitable for all groups (families, children, teens, solo travellers, couples), a really comfortable and informative tour. You get to see all sorts of sea creatures. The glass bottoms are all clean so you can see very easily. The team were friendly and helpful.

Good way to see the sights and the animals without getting wet. No whales or dolphins, but lots of fish and turtles. The captain was also nice and gave good recommendations.

Great view of Waikiki
Saw a whale and turtle from the side of the boat. The views of Waikiki from the boat were great. We didn’t see much fish through the glass bottom areas of the boat.

BEWARE: Terrible Customer Service
Was running 4 minutes late. In the booking email it says “Please call 808-753-5156 if you are running late for your tour.” No one answered and I called about 10 times. When I complained about this an hour and a half after the tour, the lady on the phone was so sassy to me and said “How are we supposed to answer when we’re checking in guests?” Umm I dunno, then don’t put that number in the email then?? Or even better, don’t even instruct your guests to call if you’re running late. She basically told me it doesn’t matter if you call because they will leave without you anyway. I wish I recorded the call because after I explained how frustrating the whole situation was, she proceeded to mock me and say “Well even if I did feel bad for you…” blah blah blah. I understand policy, but this rude lady should not be working in the tourism or customer service industry. Never been treated this way by an establishment before which is disappointing. Born and raised in Hawaii, I’ve been on many boat cruises before. Almost every time there were a few guests running a couple minutes late and the crew would wait for them. I even brought cash to tip the crew, who knew they really don’t care about guest experiences anyway. I told my whole family about the experience and we will never be using this company again. Every time I have family visiting I will warn them to not use this company Honestly, there are way better and nicer boat tours out there.

Captain Austin and crew were fantastic. Professional and extremely knowledgeable. A great way to spend an hour out on the water.
