Not quite
Reviewed by: Disappointed , 2020/01/20Disappointed to not see any whales, dolphins, pretty marine fish. Captain should skip the corny puns. Beautiful boat ride but not as advertised.

Amazing trip!
Reviewed by: Astrid, 2019/02/27This boat trip was amazing! The captain was extremely knowledgeable and even looked out for dolphins and whales for us! We werent able to see any dolphins, but we were able to see a whale. We also saw some honu's, (green sea turtles) and some really cool fish. He also had a lot of great jokes, which made me smile! Well worth it!

Great experience
Reviewed by: Shiv, 2017/11/28We are a family of 4 with a infant. Snorkeling was not an option but we wanted to see marine life. The boat was great, captain took the boat out gently; no turbulence, baby was happy. We got to see dolphins, turtles and schools of fish

Endless POG and Captain Clifton
Reviewed by: Jay, 2017/09/26My boyfriend and I attended a morning cruise and it was an absolutely gorgeous day to set sail. Aside from the great weather and beautiful views, Captain Clifton (and his first mate) made the cruise even more enjoyable, with tons of informative facts and joke thrown into the mix. The boat was clean, the supply of drinks varied for adults and children and the day couldn't have been spent any better.
Thanks for the ride!

Great
Reviewed by: Jade, 2016/12/17The crew on this trip were excellent! We had the whole boat to ourselves. The captain of the boat went out of his way to show us everything we wanted to see. We saw turtles and also saw some dolphins
In the distance. The Crew were very knowledgable and made the experience very worthwhile! The captain knew a lot about the history of the island and talked us through it, throughout the ride. I would recommend this and will recommend this.
The boat ride was excellent! We really enjoyed the trip and this topped it off!
When we saw the dolphins the driver tried to get as close as possible to them before they swam off. The glass bottom allowed is
To see the Bottom of the ocean which was remarkable. The crew were very helpful and made the experience much better!
They pointed out turtles and dolphins, they explained the usual patterns and they gave us advice on what to see around the island and the best spots to visit.

Great activity...but
Reviewed by: Rene', 2016/10/09While the activity itself was good and the captain and crew were attentive....the travel arrangements were subpar and caused eight of us to squeeze into vehicles not meant to transport that many people. The other tour participants ranged from families with small children to young adults who called it a "booze cruise" .... I would suggest that the tours be advertised as either "family friendly" or a "party tour", which is one that freely hands out alcohol to young folks who are interested in partying. Having tours designated as such would allow the people seeking the particular type of activity to choose which tour to sign up for, the company can have it both ways. Overall, we enjoyed the activity ... Just not all of our fellow passengers.

Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Cruise
Reviewed by: Simon, 2016/09/17When we went on the Waikiki Glass Bottom tour in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary, we were greeted very warmly and we felt very welcomed. Although it was raining, we still felt comfortable because of the crew and were offered free drinks. During the boat ride, we saw coral, tropical fish, and even sea turtles! We took lots of pictures of the stunning scenery of Waikiki and the Diamond Head. The crew also explained the history of Waikiki and made the tour more interesting so that every moment was enjoyable. Next time we come to Hawaii, we will definitely be going on the tour again. We highly recommend this great vacation tour for anyone travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.

Glass Bottom Boat Tour
Reviewed by: Sindee, 2016/09/09It was our first time experiencing the glass bottom boat tour. Although it wasn't what I was expecting from the title of the tour, but it was fun. The boat consisted of boxes with glass bottom you can look down to see underneath the boat. During the shallow parts of the water, you can see fishes and of course it's not a guarantee on what or what not you would see. But, wish we would have seen more!
The captain and his partner were friendly and nice. We went during the first tour at 9am, so we basically had the entire boat to roam around with another family. They offer drinks (water, bud light, soda) and restroom on board, which was great!
We were also lucky with the day that we went. It was sunny but during some parts of the tour, the clouds covered the sun, so the breeze was nice. So all in all, it was a fun experience.

A wonderful experience
Reviewed by: Victoria, 2016/09/08This glass bottom boat trip gives one a new view to look at while experiencing a cruise. Not only is the view amazing but you get to see a side of wild life you don't usually get to look at. We got to see a few different types of fish and a number of turtles.
Our captain and his partner were also hugely helpful. Answering all questions and giving us interesting information on the sea and boat life here in Waikiki. But do understand, you can't control wild life, so some days or seasons might be better to go than others. And while what wild life you see may depend on a number of different things, the view is always enjoyable and relaxing.
