Full description

Someone says “Hawaii” and almost subconsciously an image of the iconic landscape of our city on the sea, Waikiki, pops into mind. We’re taking the traditional land based viewpoints of Honolulu and turning them on their head with our unique ocean perspective. Come aboard the Haleiwa Queen and relax with your crew as the skies turn to orange, purple, and pink behind Downtown Honolulu during our sunset tour. Peer through our glass bottom view ports as fish and sea life are curiously drawn towards our boat’s lights illuminating the water around the glass, making Oahu’s reefs and creatures even viewable at night.

Hop on with our group tours or book a private event for just you and your crew. There are few sights more memorable than Honolulu’s city lights from the water at sunset.

The captain was top notch. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The highlight of the tour for sure. The boat was fine, but don't expect to see anything through the "glass bottom". The glass is minimal, and only viewable looking through portals. I was really disappointed when first arriving on the boat, but looking at other glass bottom boats in the marina I saw that they too only had small portals. The main issue is this tour never stops over a reef so you can actually look at fish. They throw food out and you can see a few fish come to eat over the side. It was a nice cruise with a great captain.

Went on the 11:45 am ride. It was hot waiting to board the boat. There’s very little shade, I’d suggest bringing along an umbrella if you’re worried about cooking in the sun. Once we boarded, Captain Ian and mate Stoney (sorry if that’s not how you spell it) were welcoming and knowledgeable. There’s drinking water available, as well as a bathroom. You can bring snacks and drinks too. We saw a sea turtle before boarding, and one more large female (Ian knows the difference) as we were leaving the harbor. As we passed over the reef areas, you could see fish through the glass bottom. At one point, Stoney threw out a little fish food, and lots of fish swarmed near the boat. Then we saw several Spinner Dolphins in the water, even a young one with its mom. Ian even saw a shark, but it never resurfaced for us to see it. Thoroughly enjoyed our boat ride!! Thank you! FYI - I paid $13.57 for 3 hours of parking in the adjacent lot to the marina.
