Description

Enjoy the beauty of Oahu’s South Shore as we cruise from the Kewalo Basin Harbor toward Lē’ahi (Diamond Head). Enjoy the clear view of the Pacific Ocean floor as we cruise over live tropical reefs and one of Hawaii’s popular shipwrecks. Keep an eye out for honu (sea turtles), eels, reef sharks, dolphins, and schools of tropical fish, all visible from the deck of our vessel through our glass-bottom boat viewports. You’ve never seen the ocean like this before! Perfect for large or small groups. Book a fun-filled tour with your family or friends while visiting Hawaii. It’s a great activity for convention groups, team building, military group outings, local school field trips, or wedding trips showcasing you on your wedding day against the beautiful backdrop of Oahu’s coastline. PLEASE NOTE: Our crew will make every effort possible to allow guests to see marine life, but since there are conditions beyond our control, we CANNOT guarantee any animal sightings.

Definitely choose this boat tour

Ian and Tristan were great, very informative, entertaining and interactive the whole ride. This is by far the best value for the money compared to other boat tours offered in the area.

Glass bottom adventure

The boat trip was really nice. We enjoyed seeing the tortoises. I wish we would’ve seen some fish during the trip under the boat, but they did show us several fish species as they threw out food for them and travel along with us on the boat ride overall, it was a very enjoyable trip.

Not worth it!

We didn’t see any animals. There was not enough seating! Tour was advertised as 1.5 hour but took just one hour. Owner was nice person though. It is not worth it!

Amazing Waikiki Boat Cruise with Dolphins & Turtles!

I had an amazing time on the Waikiki Beach Glass Bottom Boat Cruise definitely one of the highlights of my trip! The views were absolutely beautiful, and being able to see marine life through the glass bottom was such a unique and relaxing experience. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, sea turtles, and so many beautiful fish, which made the whole experience even more special. What really made the trip stand out, though, were Brandon and Cameron. They were funny, super energetic, and kept the whole group engaged from start to finish. Their vibe made the cruise even more enjoyable and memorable. If you’re in Waikiki and looking for something fun, laid-back, and a little different, I’d highly recommend this cruise. Great scenery, great atmosphere, and an awesome crew!

Nice tour along Waikiki...

Nice tour along Waikiki shoreline! Just the right amount of time! Enjoyed the Hawaiian music and the commentary! Didn't see much in the glass bottom viewing, but saw a turtle, some fish and some dolphins swimming around!

Turtle sighting

Ian and stone were amazing. They took the time to make sure we seen some wildlife and gave some history. Very knowledgeable. Seen dolphins and turtles. They used some feed and we got to see fish on the surface. Wonderful experience!!!

Operator response

So glad you had such a wonderful time with us! Ian and Stone will be happy to hear they made your trip special. Nothing beats seeing dolphins, turtles, and all that reef life up close 🤙🏽 Mahalo for joining Hawaii Glass Bottom Boats!
