Jim and Ian were amazing at hosting this excursion. I would definitely go back on the glass boat tour when I get a chance.

Brandon and Shaun were great, even though the water was still murky we did get to see a munk seal and watched as Shaun fed the school of fish. Great experience
Even though this activity was listed as starting at 6pm, it actually started at 5:30pm. The tour operator did not contact us until 4:30pm, and claimed that we did not fill out the waiver but then provided an incomplete link to the waiver. It was only at 4:30pm that we were notified that they wanted us at the dock 20-30 minutes before the 5:30pm departure, meaning we had to rush to the dock. The sunset view was nice, but very few fish were seen so would not recommend this tour if the goal is to see sea life.
This was not a successful purchase. They waited until the mid day to send me notification that the tour was canceled due to weather. However, there were others that sail out that day. There was no bad weather that evening. They ruined the joy the family of 7 was looking forward to experiencing. Very dissatisfied customer.
If you're looking for a relaxing and memorable experience, I highly recommend a sunset boat ride. The views were absolutely beautiful, especially as the sun set over the ocean. We were lucky enough to see several sea animals, which made the trip even more special. The ride was peaceful, fun, and a great way to unwind while taking in Hawaii's natural beauty. It was the perfect way to end the day, and I would definitely do it again!
My family and I flew in to Oahu and this was our first taste of Hawaii! The trip was wonderful and we had a great time! The sunset was amazing and the crew friendly and professional. I would absolutely book this trip again.
The sunset was amazing and the guides were unbelievably amazing also. The sunset and the history of the area was great learning experience.
Showed up to my reservation no one was there and didn’t answer the phone waited an hour to see if they would show up or call and with no luck, last day in Hawaii very sad this is my experience.
It was a very nice relaxing time winding down from a busy day. The beautiful sunset popped out as we were coming in to dock, so it would have been nice if our 90 minute cruise would have started a few minutes later. We saw a sea turtle and loads of fish.
Our guides Jim and Brandon were fantastic! They were warm, friendly and inviting...must be a pre-requisite to work in hawaii ❤️
This review has nothing to do with the tour itself. When we arrived for the tour (drove almost an hour each way), we were informed that the last tour left at 530, always has been the last tour of the day. Our tour was booked for 600. I am extremely disappointed with Viator for making us miss our tour, spending the money on gas AND pay for parking....all to not even experience the tour. And trying to find contact information to speak with someone "24/7" has been difficult to navigate, and have come up with nothing. Will not be booking again through Viator.
I took a sunset cruise, and it was wonderful! The price was pretty reasonable, and an hour and a half on the water was perfect. The glass bottom gave gorgeous views of the fish and the coral / sea bottom, the ride was smooth, and fun music played. The tour guides fed the fish, so we got to see lots of them and learn their names. We saw a turtle, too! Brandon and Stone, who led the tour, were very friendly, too. I love that it is locally owned, too. There were only 9 of us on a 40-person boat, which was awesome! We had so much space. We got spectacular views of the island and the sunset over the ocean! This is great for anyone - families, solo travelers, or couples!
Amazing time. Done plenty of glass bottom boat tours in the past and they’re all ok. This was our first combo of a sunset cruise and glass bottom boat. It did not disappoint the crew was top notch and very informative. The views were phenomenal and we got the added bonus of seeing a couple of whales. We got to enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets and had a great time.
This is the highlight of our trip so far. Sofia and Austin are amazing hosts. So may beautiful sights.
This tour was amazing, so much fun, informative, and super cool! Brandon and Stone did a great job and they played good music the whole time. So far one of my favorite tours.
we were little late and tour left. We had several tours booked from Viator during our stay at Hawaii, this tour was not flexible. I requested for refund as we had to go next island. But this tour company was not honoring my request.
It was a great experience, my mom and I went during the sunset ride. We saw fishes and a turtle. But the ride and experience itself was awesome and vibes were definitely there. Shout out to Austin and Sophia frfr!! Music choices were great too!
Very nice guides saw dolphins and feeding was great! Not much to see in glass bottom. Did see one turtle.
The boat actually took off a minute before its schedule time and their employee named Sofia’s unprofessional attempt to be a smart mouth was taken poorly.
This was an awesome experience. We got to enjoy the beautiful night. We saw amazing fish and whales. We got to see a beautiful sunset and the coastline was just gorgeous. Our hosts Ian and.Brandon were awesome and so much fun. We would highly recommend taking the tour!
They don’t cancel trip when the weather is bad. It was overcast and raining. We saw no sunset and all passengers got wet. The glass bottom are four small square areas on bottom of boat. All you see is water. No fish. Disappointed. Not worth the money. They should have cancelled trip and refunded us back or rebook rather than taking us out in the weather.
Although this boat did not have a glass bottom, it had small box viewing areas to see underneath the water which we never saw any sea life. However, going on the sunset cruise was all worth it!! Being on the water, watching the sunset and the city lights was spectacular!!
The boat trip was at sunset and did not disappoint. Absolutely beautiful. It was made all the more special with a wonderful choice of music and lighting. The boys were very helpful stopped at the right spots for photos and even took some for the guests. Highly recommend
They had a fire playlist + amazing views!! The whole family really enjoyed the boat tour. It was a great way to spend our last day in Waikiki. Mahalo Brandon & Stone!
Great captain n first hand, great experience, would definitely do again. I like that they had fish food for the fish and let us throw to feed the fish
Great experience with fun captain and crew! Beautiful sunset and we got to see some seals and fish too
Jim and Kiko were very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the experience very much. They were exceptional with the person with me who is handicapped. I would definitely recommend this sunset cruise.
Ian and Jim were very nice and funny and the tour itself was beautiful. It was a good length and decently priced. Highly recommend!
We had a great time!! Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. And the scenery was amazing!!!!!
Cameron and Ion were very knowledgeable..tour said only got water... need to update amenities...well worth the cost....
The crew was great and made the sunset cruise very enjoyable. We had great views and our family had the best time! We would definitely recommend this sunset cruise!
First things first… The shark review!!! Solid shark shaped 5 stars! For 50 years, I’ve had a “never will I ever swim within eleventy million miles of where sharks may exist!!! But today…today as soon as we got to the shark spot, me and the sharks, we made eye contact and it was love at first sight (for me at least). Watching them watch me watch them watch me watch them just majestically swimming around all cutsie like, them just as curious about what was going on above the surface as I was about what was going on in their beady little eyes below the surface…I stopped myself several times mid hand wave. Like, they’re sharks and haha not going to wave back, but I swear we understood each other. I named them. Don’t judge! Ok so THE CREW review!!!!!!!!!! (Saved best for last) 5 solid, bold print, italicized, underlined, bright yellow stars for sure!!!! Knowledgeable, comforting, assuring, honest, protective, confident, very informative, and all def vibed “kind and decent human being” energy!!! I had some autistically prepared context questions that, autistically, I wasn’t prepared to ask so I def appreciated their informative group lecture which answered my questions anyway! Phew! Do the tour! The crew is so awesome that even if the sharks are a no-show, you will still enjoy their vide and knowledge and compassion. 5 solid stars!
Great sunset tour. The staff was super friendly and told us some fun facts about the island. Great way to see the sunset from the water.
Captains of the excursion were professional, very polite and cordial, and shared information about the surrounding areas during our excursion
It was a nice calming ride. The ship’s crew members were very friendly, however I felt more history about the island would have made the tour better. The views were beautiful and the sunset was breathtaking. I love the addition of the app for picture memories.
Enjoyable ride, crew shared interesting Hawaii information so I learned a lot, got to see sea turtles and fish, and loved the music.
Great tour to see the shoreline and take photos. Was disappointed with the glass bottom boat aspect. Small viewing areas but couldn't really see anything. Crew were knowledgeable and worked hard to ensure we had an opportunity to see dolphins. Amazing sunset.
Very relaxed and friendly staff ! We saw dolphins and many types of fish! Wonderful views and took some amazing pictures!! Must do and is family friendly and very beautiful sights!
This is a really nice boat ride for viewing Waikiki, Diamond Head and the sunset. We weren’t able to see much through the glass bottom but it was still enjoyable for a reasonable price.
Awesome experience, the guides were amazing, and the vibe and atmosphere were great. Would definitely recommend .
Incredible experience. So grateful for the crew. Weather was perfect. Views of Honolulu breathtaking.
Just a darn boat ride. Glass is just 2 squares of to the side. Definitely not worth it! Live and learn. Never again lol that’s for sure!
This was a great time! Because it was evening, there were not many fish in the glass bottom but it was really neat seeing the coral and seeing how shallow the water around the island is. We were really there to see the sunset on the water and we saw more than just that. We couldn’t get too close but off in the distance we were able to see a mother and calf whale as the sun was setting. Also, our captain told us a lot about the island and Diamond Head was beautiful. Also, my daughter has CP. We brought a collapsible wheelchair for her and it easily folded under the seats and she was able to sit on board. I messaged the company ahead of time through the Viator app and they were very responsive. Also, a lot of boats you must remove your shoes but not for this one so since my daughter wears AFOs we did not need to remove them. This was a great deal for the price!!! Thank you for making our trip so memorable.
Call for the exact time you are supposed to meet before you get on the cruise as Viator may show the wrong time. We has a cruise booked for 5pm. We showed up at 4.50 and the cruise had left at 4.40. The place was fantastic though and immediately allowed us to reschedule. 5 star service.
Such an amazing night with amazing people! They were so friendly and welcoming with everyone! The last boat ride he gave us a hour half longer with same price!
It was a beautiful trip for mine and my husbands anniversary. We loved it amazing views and fantastic hosts
The trip, the captain and his wife, and the trip are great. Would do it again in a heartbeat. He had great knowledge of the area and gave us awesome suggestions for dinner afterwards. We went to the Highway Inn and it was fantastic as well.
The views were spectacular, Brandon was knowledgeable and shared so much information about his beautiful Island home.
Great trip, crew members provided great hospitality. Would recommend to anyone looking to see the sunset from a different pov
Beautiful views and the captain was a great host, narrator, and karaoke lead 😀 Thank you! My mom had a wonderful experience!
