Great little trip into the ocean to view coral reef and fish! Beautiful clear blue water. Staff very knowledgeable. Loved it!

The boat was comfortable, the captain was friendly and knowledgeable. We got a text in the morning saying that visibility was poor... and it was. We didn't see much. I don't feel like it was worth the price. Maybe a beverage, a snack or a little souvenir could have been included for the $50 we paid.
Aloha,
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your Glass Bottom Boat Cruise. We're so happy to read that you enjoyed the boat and your interactions with our Captain. We're sorry that the ocean didn't cooperate on the day of your cruise, and that's why we sent the text prior to your arrival.
We've always tried to give our guests updated information about anything that will affect the quality of their cruise in time for them to reschedule or cancel their cruise should they decide not to join us. We appreciate your suggestions about additional items that can be added to the cruise, and we've forwarded your ideas to our Exec Team for their review.

We had 6 adults and 2 toddlers, this was the perfect activity for all of us to do. Short enough, interesting and interactive.

Fun and exciting. Nice view of the ocean and beaches. Saw lots of fish, a green turtle, an eel, and amazing coral. Staff was very knowledgeable. Of the two glass bottom trips I took, this was by far my favorite. was the one with the most fish.

I like that it was short, and that we were able to get on the water, we saw many little fish and a turtle.
The staff was excellent!

It was very cool. Every one was very kind and accommodating. Guide was informative and pilot was very good. We saw a couple sharks and tons of other fish. Kids loved it! (12 and 10) Mahalo!

The crew and view was amazing! You can see A-Bay at its best. Blue waters, sea turtles and beautiful fish. Calm waters and blue skies with shade. Kids will absolutely live this short and safe tour. Bring your swimsuits for afterwards and enjoy the sandy coastline. Plenty of trees, restrooms. The Marriott has a walking trail with fish ponds too! Mahalo, Angel

Looking for a tour for yourself? Your family? This event has something for everyone. Myself & partner enjoyed the outing. The crew was fantastic! This is a family owned business which is what we wanted. They are professional, friendly, engaging & interactive with all age groups. We had a blast….and so will you! Check out this tour and support family owned businesses!
FYI: bring cash to tip the crew….they deserve & will appreciate it. If not, please ask how to tip digitally.

We lucked out with dolphins, sea turtles and an amazing array of fish. The guides were great and answered all our questions while expertly navigating the reef to make sure we saw a ton of fish. I was skeptical initially, but sooooo worth it and a ball for all ages (1.5 -70+).

I get anxious snorkeling and this was a fantastic alternative. The guide was super knowledgeable and funny. My 5 year old son loved it too and we could chat about what we were seeing in real time, which I loved.

We really enjoyed the glass bottom boat cruise. We had a frustrating experience earlier with snorkeling and we were happy to have an opportunity to see the reefs and the fish from the comfort of a boat. We even got to see some sea turtles under the boat! We also thought that the price for the cruise was more reasonable than many of the attractions in Hawaii. After the cruise we went hiking on the beautiful Ala Kahakai Trail which extends north from A-Bay. The glass bottom boat cruise is a can't miss experience on the Big Island!

Perfect family friendly glass bottom boat tour. At ~35 min, perfect length for our four-year old.
Staff very friendly, marine expert was great at pointing out the different species and interesting traits.
Tour also launches from a very nice, calm protected beach which would be worth visiting again, as the calm waters would allow even the youngest children the chance to walk and splash in the water with maybe a few small fish swimming by.

We had a great experience on board! The guides were educational and friendly! Our children (3y & 14m) had a lot of fun and enjoyed being able to see all the creatures! We saw turtles, an eel, and so many fish!

We had a great time on the boat. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and it was the perfect activity for a group with kids and grandparents. Everyone got to see fish and turtles up close in a way that was easy and enjoyable for a group not up for snorkeling

I chose this boat because my group had 2 little ones, 3yrs and almost 1yr old. This was perfect for them. We all enjoyed the lessons and the guide who was very attentive to everyone! I highly recommend this tour
Mahalo for the wonderful review, and for recommending us. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Hope to see you again soon.

The 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.

It was a smaller boat, so I felt a little bit squished, but I guess that is how submarines must feel!

Not only could we ask her about anything going on 'under the sea', she could tell us in English OR Hawaiian. Wish I could retain a smidge of all that excellent info!

Kai 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.
