Waikiki Beach Glass Bottom Boat Tour

Excellent and friendly guides who are both locals. Nice boat and viewing area. Perfect amount of time. Saw the perfect rainbow! Had overhead coverage for the 5 min of rain that we had. Great trip and would recommend!

Captain Tim was very informative. It was wonderful being out on the water. The weather was perfect and we were lucky enough to spot a sea turtle on the surface.

We had a great experience on the boat tour! The captains were attentive, friendly, and informative--they wanted to make sure everyone had a safe and enjoyable ride. We saw some fish I never knew existed and, more important (and my goal), we saw sea turtles!

Jim and Austin were great!! I highly recommend this tour!!

Even though we saw only one turtle, several schools of fish and a couple flying fish, the tour was really fun! Jim and Austin were excellent boat captains, wildlife spots and docents of the sea.

A quick and fun trip with a knowledgeable sea Captain. We saw fish and sea turtles! Glass bottom boats is the way tos we local sea life!

At first, I was a bit disappointed because the entire bottom of the boat wasn’t glass.. and then it was so relaxing that I didn’t even end up looking in the areas where there was a glass bottom. The guides were amazing. If I ever come back, I will be doing this again!

Captains Ian and Brandon were great!!! Would definitely do this again with them!!

BRandon and Ian were great hosts. Amazing we seen lots of turtles, fish and dolphins. Would definitely go again

Great experience, guides were awesome. Saw turtles and dolphins

It was a lot of fun though didn’t see much through the glass bottom parts of the boat but more in the water as we rode along :) the crew was super nice and friendly :)

Captain was very engaging and amusing. We didn't see any wildlife, but even so it was a good tour (I am aware the fauna do not operate on a schedule). I would recommend this.

Location was a little difficult to find Check in attendant wasn’t very nice, but the boat captains were great! Very knowledgeable and informative Also helpful and funny! The music was a great plus.

Beautiful rainbow, Seen sea turtles, Dolphins and the weather was sprinkling but perfect. Best way to see the Island from the water

It was a lovely trip on to the waters. My first impression was amazing. The to Eric and Jim kept us entertained, loved the music, saw some sea animals. It was wonderful

Nice smooth ride, not too crowded on the boat. Glad they provided cold water drinks. Got to see a couple of sea turtles and a lot of dolphins including babies up close.

Ian and Jim did a great job. They made sure to let us have time enjoying the pod of dolphins.

Had such a great time ! Ian and Brandon made our experience very special. We did the early trip out at 815 and it was clear with a little mist once we were out. We saw turtles and different fish on the side of the boat. Saw a few small fish through the panels and the reef but most of the fish we saw from the side of the boat. Good music, good vibes and they helped us take pictures. Overall enjoyed the trip.

Great value and fun trip! The tour guide and his co-pilot were fun and informative and caring. My hat blew off and they turned around and retrieved it from the ocean.

brandon offered to take pictures of us and it was a great experience

We didn’t see any turtles , dolphins,, seals, we only saw moon fish. Even though we know we are not guaranteed to see them, the operator could have educated us on the turtles, where they lay their eggs, their life expectancy, natural predators, where they nest if their normal nesting spot is no longer etc. the history of Waikiki, even talking about the reefs and how global warming has affected. It was really a $70 boat ride for an hour with a small water given out, a total waste of an hour.

They provide cool drinking water and make the trip absolutely enjoyable! Experienced in island history.

We had 2 captains today Ian and Jim. They were very nice and made the ride fun. Especially Ian’s jokes. Thank you for a great ride

It was amazing they let me feed the fish and we saw dolphins

We were excited to go out on a glass bottom boat so we may see the sea creatures in the ocean. What we got was a boat no glass bottom there was a 2ft W X 4ft L rectangular box that you had to climb down a ladder to see anything; but the glass had a huge crack in it. So, what you actually got was an ordinary boat which had NO glass bottom. What we got was a guy saying what motels/hotels were the best and some history. While we were out he hit a turtle with his boat cracking it's shell. Then he passed it off and stated oh over to our right we have two turtles. That was the extent of out 45 minutes out on the water. Very boring, didn't see anything, but 2 turtles. He stated there was a ship wreckage, dolphins, turtles, many different types of sea creatures and all we saw was 2 turtles. Boring and not worth what we paid.

You get the impression from the advertising that you’ll be having a unique and mesmerising experience seeing all sorts of marine life through a special glass floor, however it’s anything but that. The glass panels may as well not have been there. The panels are quite small. I saw a few basic fish and that’s it. They take you out to a seawreck which is just a few rusty panels. At no point did I go wow. It’s basically just a boat ride out in front of the main Waikīkī strip then back. The guides were lovely though. The wait spot is hot and there’s little shade.

nice experience, a bit on the expensive side but its a great way to see the sea life

Super excited to take this glass bottom tour to see turtles n ocean life… well we did get to see fish n alligator fish but no turtles or dolphins I figured it was because it was the middle of the day n the best time prob in the morning lol but The boats glass bottom is def not what u think it’s 4 square boxes u have to look into that go down about 6ft n no you can’t climb in there to see better. Didn’t see anything thru these boxes just seen fish off the side of the boat after they thru chum.

Jim the captain is a genuine person and easy to talk to. He knows the best places to look for sea life but no guarantees.

Absolutely brilliant time, the guides were humorous and informative. Didn’t see much on the way out, other than one turtle bobbing about, but with the ocean, view and music it was so so chill. Then just as we were on our way back we struck gold and saw a large pod of dolphins dancing swimming out. It was so spectacular. I’d also like to mention that there was a hiccup with my transport taking me to the wrong port and therefore missing my orginal time slot. Everyone at the company was so lovely and happy to amend my booking without any hassle. Thank you so much for such a memorable experience!

My daughter and I booked this tour in July. We were expecting a boat with a large glass bottom, which is not what we got. The boat has 4 portions that are glass, and you look down through a viewing area. Most of the enjoyment of this tour came not with the glass bottom itself (through which we really didn't see much), but with the scenery and the tour guides. Our guides were funny and knowledgeable and made the whole trip fun. Our tour took along the beach, giving great views of Waikiki, Honolulu, and Diamond Head. Along the way we did see a turtle and several schools of fish. Overall, it was a really nice way to spend an hour or two. Note: there is no bathroom at the dock- plan ahead. There is a toilet on the boat, but it seemed a bit awkward.

As a local, I wanted my grandchildren to experience a unique and exciting way of looking at the land from a different perspective and to see our ocean life in their own habitat. Living here makes us forget that we take this beautiful aina and our waters around us for granted and rarely find time to enjoy it. We all had a great time, the crew were awesome, funny and knowledgeable of Hawaii. This was a great experience my family and I will never forget, great for tourists and locals. Mahalo!

Great experience. Definitely enjoyed the view.

It was great. Very informative. The crew were very educated on the history of Hawaii and the sea life.

Didn’t see too much, I was expecting glass bottom to be much bigger. The boat has two relatively small viewports on either side of the ship. Staff was very friendly and informative, and the ride itself was nice too. Overall good experience.

Our goal was to see sea turtles without having to snorkel. The glass bottom boat was our best option and it was in Ala Moana very close to the shopping center. We were very lucky to have Jim and Kiko as our tour guides! Jim was giving us history of Waikiki and pointed out what to look at both on shore and in the ocean. Kiko was spotted a turtle once we stopped at Turtle Circle as well as different types of fish and took great photos of us when they stopped at a great photo spot. Jim had a great humor and knowledge and made our trip entertaining.

Do not go here. The bottom of the boat is NOT glass, very disappointing. Has 4 small holes in the boat that are glass and that’s it.

So fun definitely would do it again captain was a great guy 100 out of 10

Great guides and saw lots of turtles and fish. The ocean was beautiful and the boat was clean and well kept.

We had a wonderful tour! The tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining, and helped point out wildlife. Parking was super hard to find, so I would Uber if we went again. The tour itself was wonderful though, and a great outing for the family.

The guide was excellent, and the water was beautiful, but we saw very little. The description is deceiving with pictures of fish and turtles up close. Also, it was not a glass bottom boat. There were viewing areas but we had to stand up and look over them to see what amounted to very little.

This was a wonderful, easy and quick boat ride. We got to see turtles and dolphins and was just right for us. The guides (Ian and Tristan) were helpful and entertaining.

This was such a fun tour!!! Ian and Tristan were our guides and they were terrific. They told great stories and were so welcoming. We saw turtles, dolphin, and lots of beautiful fish. 10/10. Highly recommend!!!!

Great experience. The captains were really nice and accomodating.

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely incredible experience for all ages! ​We booked this glass-bottom boat tour on a whim, and it ended up being the absolute highlight of our trip! The boat was pristine, and the viewing windows were crystal clear, giving us an unbelievable look at the reef and marine life below. We saw everything from sea turtles to colorful coral formations and schools of tropical fish. ​Our captain/guide, Austin and Sophia were fantastic—super knowledgeable, funny, and great at spotting things we would have completely missed. It was the perfect way to see the underwater world without getting wet, which was amazing for our family. Worth every penny. Don't hesitate to book this!

Great guide. Saw lots of fish and beautiful turtles.

Austin and Cam were great guides. Definitely recommend

Tour was great. Saw fish, dolphins, and a couple turtles. Also enjoyed the history lesson that was given

Tristan and ian were amazing they did an amazing job during this experience worth every penny would do again
