Worth it!!

Reviewed by: Noelle, 2024/04/09

So 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.

Kalama and one other, I can’t remember his name, but they made a great team! We had the best date night away from our extended family for a few hours.

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Kakuna, 2023/02/26

I 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.

Fun time with the group

Reviewed by: Lea, 2022/10/27

Booked this cruise for the marine biologist boyfriend's birthday! Thought it would be cool to be on a glass bottom boat and see down below. To be honest there wasn't too much to see but maybe that's our luck. Also it was tough because it was a crowded ride which is to be expected for any shared experience, but even 10 less people could have made the space on the boat more workable. On the bright side, we saw an awesome sunset and it was BYOB! The crew was cool, played some awesome tunes, and kept us safe -- that's what matters!

Glass Bottom Sunset Cruise

Reviewed by: Fran, 2022/09/13

I booked this sunset cruise to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I inform the boat operator. He chose 2 songs and my husband and I enjoyed a dance on the boat. The sunset was awesome and we have some awesome memories. Thank you.

Courtney & Lorenzo were great hosts!

Reviewed by: Lili, 2022/07/31

We 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.

Made the most of a bust of an evening

Reviewed by: Unlucky in HI, 2021/09/18

There is no refund for poor weather & the day we reserved our cruise there were dark grey clouds covering the skies & it had rained consistently that while day. I said at least we can see fish from the glass bottom of the boat. Nope. That really only happens during the day and the whole bottom isn’t glass, just 4 lol out areas and 3 of the 4 were covered due to the rain. I said at least we will stay dry under the shelter on the boat… Nope! “There is no avoiding the rain” the captain said. “AND if you tend to get seasick, watch out because you’re in for a bumpy ride!” Alcohol was our saving grace & a positive attitude despite the crappy circumstance we were in. Had the weather been nice it would have been great but watch the forecast before booking!

  • That white box it one of the lookouts to the glass bottom for fish viewing

Lotsa beauty for the buck

Reviewed by: Angie, 2021/08/22

We 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!

Ocean, boat, and sunset... best combination

Reviewed by: Ariel Jade , 2018/10/21

The 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!

Lovely, Stunning sights of Oahu coast

Reviewed by: Shelley L., 2017/06/04

My husband and I took the sunset tour with Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Tours. We did other things/tours on our trip, but this tour was by far the most lovely and peaceful experience we had. I was looking forward to seeing marine life, but was soon distracted by the sight we came from. The stunning, emerald Oahu coast, with its gleaming white buildings and Diamond Head mountain looming to the right. It took my breath away and rendered us quiet. The sun sank over the distant mountain, yet it was light for a long while after. As far as marine life, we saw one fish. The sight of the coast was the real highlight. The tour guides were fun, had tidbits about the skyscrapers and the oldest buildings, local history and natural landmarks. It was our favorite part of the Hawaii vacation.
