Additional Information

Experience the stunning South Shore of Oahu! We set sail from Kewalo Basin Harbor heading towards Lē’ahi (Diamond Head). On board the Haleiwa Queen, marvel at the crystal-clear views of the Pacific Ocean floor as we travel above vibrant tropical reefs and one of Hawaii’s well-known shipwrecks. Be on the lookout for honu (sea turtles), eels, reef sharks, dolphins, and tropical fish schools, all observable from our boat’s deck through our glass-bottom viewports. You’ve never experienced the ocean quite like this!

Ideal for both large and small groups, reserve an exciting journey with Hawaii Glass Bottom Boats for your family or friends during your Hawaii visit. It’s an excellent activity for convention delegates, employee recognition events, military outings, and local school excursions. We also offer wedding photo tours, where you can have your wedding day photos taken against the stunning backdrop of Oahu’s shoreline.
