2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

Very fun and amazing crew

Reviewed by: arlie2018

A special thanks goes out to Captain Amy and her crew.
A big shout out to Coreen (I hope I spelled correct), my 7 year old daughter freaked out when she hit the water so the wife and my 5 year old son went on, after my son was done holding onto me I took him back to the boat it was at that time that another of the crew members had a baby octopus and my son freaked so back on the boat he goes, but the good part was Corren had my 7 year old daughter with aspergers in the water and ready to swim over to us, when she saw the turtles and fish she freaked so back to the boat she goes, but it was truly amazing and we will do it again. Then a great sail to cap off the amazing snorkeling adventure

Waikiki Submarine Tour - Descend to 100ft, See Shipwrecks & Sunken Airplanes

Unique Experience !!!

Reviewed by: Tony

This adventure was more than what we expected. We first boarded a boat that took us out to the submarine. We entered a small port hatch that lowered us into a surprisingly large submarine that held over 63 individuals. We dove to a depth of over 112 feet and saw all manor of marine life around sunken ships and airplanes. We experienced fish and sea turtles nestled among the wreckage along with eels along the coral. To say this was a unique experience was an understatement. How often do you get to go 100+ feet under water and see marine life in their natural inhabitant?

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Best experience in Hawaii!!

Reviewed by: Nikki from LA

This is my youngest son's first trip to Hawaii. He asked to go snorkling. So I thought it would be even more fun to snorkle with turtles. And so we did. We had such an amazing experience, staffs were very nice and helpful. It was fun to see many turtles and fishes. We had so much fun. And at the end of our Hawaii trip, I asked my son, which one was the most memorable one of all the places we went to in Hawaii, and he said snorkling with turtles!!!

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

One of the highlights of our trip to Waikiki

Reviewed by: Pete B

This was an enjoyable trip just off the Waikiki coast, snorkeling was fruitful with my three teenage children as we saw many sea turtles and fish, while my wife enjoyed staying on the boat taking pictures of us in the water and of the surrounding views. Then we took a fun sail ride that gives you a great view of the Waikiki skyline and a full view of Diamond Head. The crew was great and were determined to ensure we had a great time. They were successful!

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発/日本語ナレーション(要事前ダウンロード)>

Even those who can't dive can enjoy the ocean in Hawaii. 潜れない人でもハワイの海を満喫

Reviewed by: masakigu

First, we boarded a boat from the dock near Hilton Hawaiian Village and headed offshore, where the views from the boat were excellent. There was a shop on board, so we didn't get bored. At the offshore point, we could see a submarine surfacing. The weather was calm on the day of our participation, and the view from inside the submarine was great. Thanks to our guide, who was fluent in Japanese, we had a wonderful time. While it might not be enough for those who are serious about scuba diving, I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone else.

まずはヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ近くの乗船場から船に乗り沖合へ行きますが、この船からの眺めが非常に良いです。船内にはショップがあり退屈しません。沖合のポイントでは潜水艦の浮上を見ることができます。参加当日は天気も穏やかで潜水艦内からの眺めも良く、また日本語が流暢なガイドさんのおかげで楽しく過ごせました。本格的にスキューバダイビングをする人には物足りないかもしれませんが、そうでなければ十分楽しめるツアーだと思います。

It took longer to get around than I expected, and I returned to my room late, but I was glad to see the sea turtles. I heard there was a Japanese guide in the morning, so I aimed for that and was very satisfied with my reservation.

It was truly amazing to be close to the honu (sea turtle) and swim with it! The crew was also very nice. For those who get seasick, taking motion sickness medication is definitely a must. The final yacht sailing can be a bit rocky.

Waikiki Submarine Tour - Descend to 100ft, See Shipwrecks & Sunken Airplanes

First Time experience

Reviewed by: Nunia T.

This trip was the first time we have ever been on a submarine and we are glad we did it as it was one of the best experiences of our lives. My boyfriend Daniel and I were booked on the Premium Seats which I definitely recommend as those windows are much larger. The staff members are very knowledgeable and always looking out for your safety. You will first board the ship that will then sail out to take you to the submarine dock. The sail is really beautiful as you get to see Waikiki and diamond head on the way. When loading into the Submarine they ensure that your safety comes first and are very careful about every little details. During the submarine tour we went as deep as 110ft and it was just wonderful. Everything is super blue and you get to see a lot of different varieties of fishes, treasures and coral reefs. Also the guide and captain are super funny so you will definitely enjoy your time.

Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Friendly Local Crew (BYOB) - Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat

A friendly sunset

Reviewed by: Mr.Anonymous

The 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!

Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Friendly Local Crew (BYOB) - Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat

Great and relaxing boat cruise in Waikiki!

Reviewed by: mcavalheiro

I 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.

Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Friendly Local Crew (BYOB) - Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat

Fun evening on the water with friends

Reviewed by: Tammy

We 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.

Turtle cruise.

Reviewed by: Ken Smith

From the hostess at the Blue Tent to the boat crew - everyone made the experience enjoyable. Plenty of fish and turtles. Quality snorkeling gear. And finished with a nice relaxing sail around Diamond Head. A definite do again on our next trip. Since we stayed at the Hall Koa, access was a quick walk down the beach. No hassles of finding parking on the busy Waikiki strip.

About half of the customers were sleeping. 半分ぐらいの客が寝ていた。

Reviewed by: MMM

There were few fish. More than half of the scenery was empty. I felt seasick. Since they don't shine white light on the fish, it was almost a black-and-white world. It was a wedding, so despite having paid a lot of money, my mother whispered, "This is one of the three major disappointments in Hawaii."

魚が少ない。何も無い景色が半分以上。船酔い。魚に白色光を当てないので、ほぼ白黒の世界。結婚式だったので、折角高いお金を払ったのに、母親が「これはハワイ三大ガッカリの1つ」と呟いていました。

Hmm, no fish? うむむ、魚がいない?

Reviewed by: yutaharu_go

I participated in a three-generation family trip! My father had been hoping to see a submarine! I was so moved when I saw it emerge from the sea before diving!! However, once we dove, there were not many fish to see. I was expecting to see a variety of fish, but there was a lot of time spent just looking at the endless seabed, with only occasional fish…

父が希望していた、潜水艦!潜る前に海から現れる姿を見て見たときは、感動しましたー!!
が、いざ潜ると、魚少ないのですね〜
もう少し色々な魚が見られるのかな?と期待していましたが、果てしなく続く海底を眺める時間も多く、たまに魚…という感じでした、汗

Great staff who made the trip lots of fun. Saw tons of turtles, though not a great variety of other fish - but I was there to see turtles, and so I was happy as can be!
Got a little woozy after being out on the ocean, and they immediately recognized it (without me having to say anything!) and offered me a dab of lavendar oil behind my ears/under my nose that cleared it right up.

Overall a great trip, highly recommend!
