GREAT FAMILY ACTIVITY - HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Amazing Boat ride & great for all ages! We had kids and grandparents in a large group, they all enjoyed the smooth ride. We did a late morning tour and saw lots of fish, a pod of spinner dolphins and a few turtles. The captain and crew were island natives and were profesional and very knowledgable of the area. We were at the Mariottt timeshares and just had a short walk to the harbor.

Glad it's on this side of Oahu - Nice tour. Great to have this available on the southwestern side of Oahu near where we were staying. Beats dealing with crowds, traffic and parking at Waikiki. Enjoyed it a lot. Didn't see a tremendous amount of different fish, but fun nonetheless. Reasonable price, too. Don't forget sunscreen though!

Awesome tour of the ocean - We decided at the last minute to take my 80 year old mother on this tour. It was easy going and we all loved it. Would definitely recommend and do it again.

Disappointed - We saw nothing through the glass. We did have a nice ride. Guides were friendly. We saw a pod of spinner dolphins and a turtle. No fish no coral Kind of disappointing. I know there is no guarantee that marine life will be seen but it would have been nice to stop over the coral and given them a chance to be seen

Good Excursion from Ko'Olina - The views of the coral reef were beautiful and thanks to the keen eye of the crew we were fortunate to see two sea turtles! Well worth the ticket price to spend a relaxing hour on the water viewing O'ahu's beautiful southwestern coastline.
