Never thought I’d ever swim with sharks and fell in love with them today!!!

First things first… The shark review!!! Solid shark shaped 5 stars! For 50 years, I’ve had a “never will I ever swim within eleventy million miles of where sharks may exist!!! But today…today as soon as we got to the shark spot, me and the sharks, we made eye contact and it was love at first sight (for me at least). Watching them watch me watch them watch me watch them just majestically swimming around all cutsie like, them just as curious about what was going on above the surface as I was about what was going on in their beady little eyes below the surface…I stopped myself several times mid hand wave. Like, they’re sharks and haha not going to wave back, but I swear we understood each other. I named them. Don’t judge! Ok so THE CREW review!!!!!!!!!! (Saved best for last) 5 solid, bold print, italicized, underlined, bright yellow stars for sure!!!! Knowledgeable, comforting, assuring, honest, protective, confident, very informative, and all def vibed “kind and decent human being” energy!!! I had some autistically prepared context questions that, autistically, I wasn’t prepared to ask so I def appreciated their informative group lecture which answered my questions anyway! Phew! Do the tour! The crew is so awesome that even if the sharks are a no-show, you will still enjoy their vide and knowledge and compassion. 5 solid stars!

Nice boat ride - not really glass bottom

This was a nice boat ride. I don’t think I would call it a glass bottom tour though. There are just four very small areas on the boat with a glass bottom. The majority of the boat is just a normal boat. It’s a nice boat ride. Oahu is so beautiful. But calling this a glass bottom boat tour is misleading.

Great time

The captain and his wife were funny and friendly. The only thing I’d clarify is the boat is not a class bottom boat. It has 2 window side areas with glass bottom to view.

Easy water experience with a toddler

It was really communicative on Viator. We were able to see nice views of Waikiki, sea turtles, and dolphins within the hour. It’s something easy to fit into a day.

We took my parents on this tour in Oahu and they loved it. They said it was wonderful and that we should have gone on one of these each day. Please arrive early so you don't miss your tour.

5 Plus in the Stars

We truly enjoyed the boat ride, and the crew was extremely friendly and took lots of pictures to share with us. They could not have been any kinder. Also, we came early and someone missed their timeslot so they let us go in their place. it was a very pleasurable experience, definitely five stars if not more!

It was fun, but we didn’t...

It was fun, but we didn’t see much and I had a different vision of a glass bottom boat. They also brought us back about 10 minutes early. The hosts were fun, friendly, and knowledgeable. I would give it an 8 out of 10.

Great job

Great tour, the captain and his assistant did a great job explaining about the tour. The tour was worth it. But priority seating was unnecessary

Best for family fun

Please note this boat tour is best for a family adventure. All ages are welcome but it is best for a family with smaller children. The boat is NOT a glass bottom but has 4 viewing holes to view the ocean below. We visited in June and did not see any turtles or dolphins however we dis see two types of fish. I know it is a 50/50 chance of seeing dolphins or turtles but I was disappointed in not seeing them. The boat speed is low and has available life jackets if you need one. Basically it was an hour at low speed boat ride around the harbor and surrounding area. Again if you are looking for a low impact, family friendly boat ride this is your activity.
