Reviewed by: Teresa, 2022/01/22The tour was excellent even if the surf had made the water a little cloudy. The guides were excellent and knowledgeable.

Great crew! Friendly and knowledgeable!
Reviewed by: Mike, 2022/01/14The crew was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. The surf didn’t allow for good visibility on the day we chose to go, but they informed us ahead of time and gave us the option of rescheduling. We chose to go anyway and they worked hard to still make it a great experience.

Reviewed by: Diane Omori, 2021/09/15Kai and Mika were great. So educational and informative. We had a great time. We are glad that we went on the glass bottom boat while visiting Hawaii. We live in L.A., and don’t really have this kind of thing near us. Thanks to the boys on the boat. They were great.

It was an interesting experience
Reviewed by: Cristina C, 2019/07/11The captain and his companion were very nice answering all our questions. It was a windy day, so our family were the only ones on the boat, we saw some fishes and lots of corals, and learned some new things about different fish in Hawaii. The turtles were kond of hiding thought, but the captain made every effort on finding at least one for us, so we got to see it on the surface taking a few breaths.
Thank you,
Cristina C

Enjoyed
Reviewed by: Sherri, 2018/05/01We enjoyed this trip. It is only approximately 30 minutes. We were able to see a fair amount of fish and other sea creatures including turtles. The guide was very knowledgeable. However, we seemed to ask the questions or not sure if they would have shared much. That in my opinion should be improved upon.

Worth it!
Reviewed by: Big family with kids, 2017/12/23The whole family really enjoyed the boat ride, the hosts on the boat were excellent and we saw a lot of fish, turtles etc. they were wonderful at engaging with the kids and answering all our questions.
The customer service of the people we met at the hut left something to be desired. Aloof and not very interested in engaging. Which is fine, but they are the first people you meet when you get there—so—it made me kinda nervous, but the actual ride was fine!

Well worth the money!
Reviewed by: Mayra, 2017/12/21The water is so clear we could see many different types of fish in the water. The captain was great at helping us spot turtles swimming on the side of the boat and would stop for us to see them. It was a lot of fun.

Loved It
Reviewed by: Linda, 2015/07/20We had a great time on the glass bottom boat. Only regret I wish we could have stayed all day looking underwater at the coral and the fish. Great crew and knew a lot about the different fish we were seeing. My grand children loved it. Good adventure for young and old. Relaxing and beautiful.

Glass Bottom Boat
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/08/01We had a great time. We were not sure what to expect. The staff was very friendly and full of information. We were able to see Manta Rays and Giant Turtles and many fish. Would recommend for 1st timers to the island. For repeat visitors, a longer boat ride would be recommended as our 30 minutes went by very quickly.
