Great wildlife sightseeing - We had a lovely time on the glass bottom tour. We saw spinner dolphins, turtles, flying fish among many other species of fish. Great tour guides Austin and Cam were very knowledgeable.

Amazing for kids! - The crew was amazing, the boat ride was great, and they had great sense of humor. Ian, Quinn and Tristan were great. Saw some turtles, fish, and very family oriented. Kids loved it. A must do if in honolulu.

This was low key and amazing! - Great excursion by very friendly Captain Jim. The draw was the glass bottom boat but the score was the scenic cruising and history offered! Highly recommended! Would definitely do this excursion again and recommend to family.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! - Rip-off. There are 4 portals on the boat which you can peer through. But the boat doesn't have a glass bottom. I searched for about 30 minutes and I saw zero fish through the portals. There were a few dolphins and one turtle visible looking over the boat side. The captain gave us a brief history of a few hotels. I inquired about the lack of fish in the portals view. He said the water was too rough for him to get closer to shore where they are visible in the reefs. The water wasn't actually rough. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
