Great fun! - This was so much fun, and an easy going boat ride, over the coral reef, where we saw so many colorful fish, big and small. The guides are super nice and enjoyable and full of fun facts . Definitely recommend this.

Great family outing! - Fun outing with our kids! It was really windy the morning we went out, but we were still able to see several turtles and lots of different fish! Both the Captain and his co-Captain were very friendly and knowledgeable; we learned a lot about the different kinds of fish we saw!

Fun Trip - Previous year we had taken the other grandchildren and saw lots of turtles. This year no turtles. This trip is excellent for children because it short trip 30-40 minutes. The guides are excellent with lots of stories and fun facts.

Awesome experience ! - We had a great time on the boat. It was very nice and relaxing. Staff was super knowledgeable about all the sea life and coral reef that we saw. They were personable engaging and friendly. We had a blast and definitely would do again. They also offer other excursions so we will definitely be looking into that the next time we visit. In our opinion better than the GlassBottom Tours company.

Glass bottom boat cruise - Fabulous time with 9 family members from 3 to 71. We saw whales, and loved the tropical fish and reef. Captain Mason and Dave were professional and entertaining. One of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii.
