Engaging and enjoyable Glass Bottom Excursion

Enjoyable excursion with a experienced diver Captain Jim / Captain Ian made this trip memorable because of their knowledge of Hawaiian ocean life and familiarity with local history, commerce, and interesting information about the various species of aquatic life of Hawaii. He was familiar with areas where fish were and pointed out areas of interest which made his talk engaging and interesting!!!! I was impressed as I have seen other Glass Bottom Boat presentations and he and the co captain did an excellent job of engaging interest!!!

Deceiving and not at all what we expected!

Deceiving and not at all what we expected! The boat was not at all "glass bottom" there were 4 large 2x4 viewing holes that you had to stand over and look into. If you are looking for the "glass bottom" boat keep searching because this is not it. The crew was fun and shared great info.

Cool staff but not much sea lives

Not much sea lives during the one hour tour. Just a few fishes swam by the boat, we didn’t see anything in the glass viewing bottoms (the viewing glass is too small anyway), maybe our timing was bad (our tour was between 4-5pm).

We got to enjoy a cruise just off the Hawaiian coast. We got to see beautiful fish, observe beautiful scenery of downtown Honolulu and Diamond Head, observe surfing and parasailing, and making many great pictorial memories.

Incredible Glass Bottom...

Incredible Glass Bottom Boat Tour - saw plenty of turtles and fish along with a fantastic view of Honolulu downtown, Waikiki beach and Diamond Head. Cameron and Amos were funny and very knowledgeable and took the time to answer any questions we had and chat to us in general. Fun boat tour, would absolutely recommend!

Not as spectacular as I hoped

Our captain Brandon was great, very friendly and had a good eye for spotting sea turtles. We did see several sea turtles and I was lucky enough to see one under the boat through the glass bottom. We also saw a school of small fish that came over to the boat after the co-captian Stone threw out fish food. I was disappointed that we didn't get to see more through the glass bottom. The trip did provide a nice view of the Waikiki skyline and Brandon pointed out the two oldest hotels on the be beach. I think the tour is a little overpriced, but that's the case of most of the tourists attractions in this area.

Great wildlife sightings but not really glass bottom experience

Wonderful quick 1 hour tour of the Honolulu and Waikiki coast. Advertised as glass bottom but really a pontoon boat with 4 glass bottom viewing tubes. Saw tropical fish, dolphins, and even sea turtles but not in glass bottom viewing areas. Knowledgeable and fun captains. Great for all ages and sea-worthiness levels.

Disappointment

The reservation taken at the time I wanted was canceled, we tried to catch up with the tour as we got off the plane, but we were 3 minutes late and we called many times and stated that we would be late so that we would give us a future date, but unfortunately

Ride this glass bottom boat if you're visiting Oahu.

This was super fun, dont miss it. Keep this one on the "for sure" things-to-do list. Captain & crew were highly experienced, friendly, and made the the tour absolutely.great. We saw turtles, fish, coral, and the gorgeous coastline and beaches. My family said this was the best thing out of all the the stuff we did so far. It's a must-see, don't miss checking it out.

Not what I expected. Glass bottom was a square hole to the side of the boat. Could not see anything. Just blue murky water. Saw a couple of turtle and black small fish. Crew gave a a little history about Waikīkī which was good but would not recommend this company if you want to see tropical fish thru glass bottom.

Really cool

4 out of 5 because the glass bottom is just some cut out sections of the boat. Not the entire boat. Saw a couple turtles, and they feed the fish so you see them. However, there are amazing tour guides, relaxing atmosphere, and it’s easy to plan and do. Also, it is an excursion that is very affordable!
