What an excellent tour! Our guides were the sweetest and made the tour super fun! We got to see some of the most beautiful sea creatures.
We did the glass bottom boats today. Cam and Ian were great. They were both very friendly. We saw fish and turtles today. Well worth the experience.
Seen fish, turtles, dolphins! Wonderful short little trip on the water. Awesome music and boat crew!
Beautiful fun boat ride with friendly and very knowledgeable captains that go above and beyond to find as many fish they can find
Very relaxing and beautiful enjoyed the information and seeing Fish. We so enjoyed this experience. The crew was helpful and knowledgeable. We are in our 70's had a good time
Although the description of the boat having a glass bottom is somewhat deceptive, the overall experience was outstanding! The tour guides were great! We all kinds of different marine life, including turtles and dolphins. I would do it again.
The boat tour itself was very enjoyable. We arrived a half an hour early for our tour to check in as requested only to find out that we had been rescheduled for a tour 45 minutes later. While the guide says he sent me a message telling me that, I can't find it anywhere so I don't think he did. I likely would have planned my morning differently if I knew that we had been rescheduled. Not a huge deal though, and my son enjoyed the tour which was the whole reason I booked!
This was a lovely experience. The staff were personable and friendly. We were looking for a short ride and an opportunity to see Honolulu from the water. The boat ride provided both plus good narrative and views of turtles and fish.
Good for family and solo riders great view of the ocean front and the marine life. Bunch of fish dolphins water pretty clear you can see the seafloor awesome experience. I loved it.
A fun experience, the crew were very polite and competent in their handling of the boat and its passengers
