Great experience - What a fun trip. The captain and his first mate are wonderful hosts. Told so many great stories about the sites we visited and knew so much information about the sea life we saw. Close up views of beautiful tropical fish and turtles. Friendly and answered any questions we had about the area. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful Waikiki view - Seeing all of Waikiki from the ocean perspective was wonderful. A beautiful day, a beautiful view, and a couple of turtles for good luck. Mechanical problems delayed our tour, but the tour guides dealt with it as well as proudly be expected.

The finer details of life - The people who operated the tour were really nice. The only issue I have, and I am sure it was somewhere in the fine details, is the sense of "false advertising." I am not the only person on the boat separate from our group who felt this same way. When they say "glass bottom boat," they really mean 3-4 small viewing areas. Not really what I had imagined. Again, I am sure that was somewhere in the finer print but I wouldn't experience this again.

Meh - It was ok. I probably should have read the description or reviews better because I was expecting more of a see through bottom not just 4 windows that everyone crowded around. But that’s what you get when you drink on vacation and book something 😂 I would have rates lower except the captain was amazing and shared so much knowledge on Hawaii and the culture.

Just do it on a whim. - The experience of the boat staff. They tried hard to find the fish for every one on board. Would do it again.
