Beautiful views! - Had such a great time! The views of the island were beautiful. We didn’t see a lot of sea life other than a sea turtle and some fish, but it didn’t matter. The ride itself, plus the amazing captains made it totally worth it! Definitely recommend!

Nice way to get in the ocean - Took a while to see marine life but it’s just something you have to expect. The captains were great, and the boat was clean.

Excellent adventure!! - We had an excellent time on the Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Cruise. The captain was extremely knowledgeable about the different fish, provided history about the island, and was very entertaining and funny. We saw a variety of fish, several turtles, and a whale or two. I highly recommend taking this cruise when visiting. You will not be disappointed!!

No wildlife viewing. - Didn’t see any wildlife-except when the crew threw a little food overboard a few tiny fish came up, They stopped the boat in the ‘turtle area’ but didn’t get close enough to see any. The bottom of the boat is not entirely glass- there are a few portals to look down in. So, it was just a quick boat ride with views of Waiki.
