Great Way to see the Friday night Fireworks! Go! - We LOVED this! Seeing the fireworks from the ocean was awesome! The water was rough but our captain expertly maneuvered the boat and it didn’t feel rough or choppy.

Use them for fireworks show - Great company to use to see the Friday night fireworks. Very professional! Solid hour trip. Get there early for parking. Small public lot to the east.

Waikiki Friday Night Fireworks - If you are in Oahu and in Waikiki on Friday, you MUST do the Glass Bottom boat tour to see the Friday night fireworks, it was an amazing place to view this spectacular event and you will not regret it at all. They are not far from Ala Moana and definitely on the TO DO List for Waikiki.

Awesome! - We were running a little late and they where able to get us on before the boat left! The uncles on board where supperrrrr nice and fun! The fireworks lasted about 2-3 minutes but it was beautiful and the ride out there with the sunset was beautiful as well! It was my boyfriends birthday and this was his favorite part of the day!

Best Activity in Honolulu - This is a must to do for all ages! Our family had an amazing experience!! The kids said it was their favorite thing we did on the island and we did a lot. The music, sunset, fireworks and atmosphere was fantastic!! The tour guides were awesome!! If you’re not sure just do it, it will not disappoint.

44th Wedding Anniversary - watching the Friday Night Fireworks - My wife and I have seen the Friday night Fireworks before at Waikiki But we had the opportunity this year to celebrate our 44th Anniversary watching the fireworks from the bay on the Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat. The Captain and his "1st Mate" were wonderful. The number of passengers on the cruise was excellent and it felt very family and group friendly. It was a pleasant surprise when the captain announced our anniversary...( I suspect friends/Ohana who booked the cruise for us did that) Mahalo!!!! Leaving the harbor and turning the corner with Waikiki and Diamond Head in full unobstructed view was really neat to see ....But watching the fireworks from the Bay with Waikiki and Diamond Head as a backdrop was absolutely amazing and easily worth the small expense of the cruise. All the times I have been to Honolulu with my wife, I never knew this was a must do, but now I do and so do you! Note: 1.)This is a Fireworks cruise, NOT a normal glass bottom boat cruise so there is No expectation to see 'stuff' other than the great evening views already mentioned and the great fireworks (that never ever any where last long enough....lol) 2.) Parking is tough because of the popularity of the beaches and events around the harbor area. Plan to arrive EARLY and be patient. Aloha and Mahalo Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat P&M from OK.

Sounds Interesting but Not Really - We're in Hawaii for our honeymoon and thought that a fireworks show on the ocean was a unique experience and wanted to try it. The fireworks were amazing and we had a good time overall but honestly, there was nothing else interesting other than the fireworks itself. The boat ride on the way out to the ocean was pretty normal and they put music for us to listen to on the intercom. If I could go back in time I wouldn't have done this cruise as the price was way too expensive for what you're getting. I would recommend just viewing the fireworks on the ground, it is free and you're not missing out on much. The description also mentioned that we'd get a water bottle but we didn't receive anything.

Not worth it - No wonder they have such an airtight waiver. The step into the boat from the ramp only goes about 75% of the way across, leaving a big gap and so my 76yo mother slipped and slammed into the railing, bruising her ribs. The bathroom wasn't set up for their guests so there was no light, no toilet paper and the flush pump thing wasn't set up right either. Totally not worth it for a 5 minute fireworks show.
