Worth it!!
Reviewed by: Noelle, 2024/04/09So glad I booked this. Took my teen and pre-teen and we had a blast. The crew was informative and hilarious and the scenery was incredible. Turtle sighting, humpback whale sighting, rain, shine, laughter, and two full double rainbows over Honolulu and Diamond Head. Such a lovely evening. 10/10 would do again. Highly recommend.

Amazing First Boat Trip for our Kiddos!
Reviewed by: Carolyn, 2023/03/01Our kids had so much fun on their first ever boat trip (1&3)! We saw a pod of dolphins and the captain steered the boat towards them and we go to see the dolphins right up close. It was so magical and the highlight of our trip!

Great Experience
Reviewed by: Kakuna, 2023/02/26I really loved the Sunset Cruise off the coast of Waikiki beach. We saw Diamond Head, whales, and dolphins. The driver of the boat was really cool and put on requested Spotify station and gave a great tour. Was so good I am currently rebooking this in August.

Courtney & Lorenzo were great hosts!
Reviewed by: Lili, 2022/07/31We had a great time aboard this cruise. While you may bring food and drinks, I advise against food as it's not a perfectly smooth ride. It is a ton of fun, and we loved seeing the fish under the glass bottom portions.
We went with two teenagers, and while we don't drink, it wasn't awkward to have others on board who were enjoying drinks. The music was great (even our teens liked it!) and the views were spectacular.
This cruise is perfect for honeymooners, couples of all ages, and families with older kids.

Lotsa beauty for the buck
Reviewed by: Angie, 2021/08/22We did this cruise at sunset while visiting mom and her husband who are locals. We brought drinks and snacks and enjoyed the 2 hour cruise very much. Saw a view of diamond head that we had never seen and an amazing sunset. This was a great diversion on a hot day. Mom enjoyed it so much that it is now high on her list of things to do with visitors. A knowledgeable and friendly 2-man crew made for an extremely pleasant ride!

Highlight!
Reviewed by: Andi, 2021/08/02We really enjoyed our trip. A kind crew and a small group which was great. They played good music and it was great to be able to spread out during the trip. We brought our 4 year old twins and they thoroughly enjoyed the boat/crew/sights. Loved that we could bring our own drinks and snacks. Highly recommended! Will do again on our next visit back!

Best sunset cruise for your dollar!
Reviewed by: Felicia M, 2021/07/29The cruise was great and the views were spectacular! The captain was very knowledgeable of the area and shared some hidden spots to visit while in Oahu. They were also very nice and offered to help take pics of the families on board! I was glad we made the decision to go on the cruise!

Ocean, boat, and sunset... best combination
Reviewed by: Ariel Jade , 2018/10/21The sunset cruise was incredible. Everything about it was such a positive experience. Big shout out to the captains who made it entertaining and comfortable the whole time. I personally love being out in the water so I knew I would enjoy myself but it’s also nice to meet new people and have awesome hosts. I didn’t want it to end!

A friendly sunset
Reviewed by: Mr.Anonymous, 2018/06/05The cruise is BYOB, so you make your own party! Some drinks were provided, but we all brought our own drinks to share, too, and we also brought some finger foods.
The crew was really friendly, and we also got along well with the other passengers. It was a fun and relaxing night.
The "glass bottom" windows are actually in four corners of the boat. It wasn't a very compelling part of the cruise, especially in the evening. While they do have lights under the boat so you can sort of see the coral in the dark, the boat isn't always moving slow enough to spot out things.
The windows are kind of a novelty, but if you really want to see underwater I would suggest going in the mornings. For sunset, this is a really fun relaxing BYOB cruise that I'd definitely recommend!

Great and relaxing boat cruise in Waikiki!
Reviewed by: mcavalheiro, 2018/06/05I love cruising with Hawaiian Glass Bottom Boat. This was my 3rd time on the boat and I plan to come back many more times.Nothing better than cruise along Waikiki enjoying a few beers with friends while watching the sunset. The price is great, the crew is always friendly and professional and you can really feel the aloha spirit. If the ocean conditions are good you can even see the marine life from their glassbottom viewing area.
What I also like about this boat is that this is a nice option for anyone who does not want to go on the crowed booze cruises from Waikiki.

Fun evening on the water with friends
Reviewed by: Tammy, 2018/06/04We were a group of 5 people and we got to the boat early. Jason was gracious enough to let us on and get the party started earlier than was scheduled. Jason and Ford were wonderful as they explained the history of the island, kept us supplied with water and also were our photographers. We got beautiful pictures of the sunset.
It's a simple cruise, but, well worth the money. WE all had a great time and would schedule it again.
Thank you Jason and Ford.

Amazing Experience
Reviewed by: Dana, 2017/10/22We were extremely pleased by our experience on the cruise in September. Travis and his crew member were friendly, insightful and made the trip an overall memorable experience for us (even more so when my boyfriend proposed while we were watching the sun set)! We cannot be more pleased and would definitely go again when we visit beautiful Oahu and Waikiki in the future. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

Reviewed by: Bryan, 2017/08/16It was a lot of fun. I went with my friends during sunset. There were bottomless Mai Tais which were great and we brought our own beer. The tour guides were great at explaining some history regarding the island.
