Jim and Kekoa are awesome - Kekoa and Jim are fantastic. Jim could actually moonlight as a comedian. We WILL do this tour again. We saw turtles, fish, coral, the view of Diamond Head was breathtaking. Money well spent.

Fed fish, saw dolphins! - My partner and I are on this trip for our 5 year anniversary and we decided to book the glass bottom tour as a last minute excursion on our trip because it sounded fun and we were not disappointed! The view was beautiful and we even got to see dolphins! Our boat guides were Austin and Casey, Austin told us some background info on the sites throughout the tour and Casey checked in multiple times with everyone to make sure everyone was having an enjoyable experience. Our favorite part was definitely getting to feed some of the fish at the beginning of the tour and then seeing some dolphins at the end of the tour! Thank you to the crew for being so kind, we definitely recommend this tour!

Fun trip off Waikiki beach. - Glass bottom boat is a Mom & Pop business. He captains and she locates marine life in the bay. They are also knowledgable about the area and share this knowledge and tell great stories. They do a great job of making the trip fun and finding marine life whether it is turtles, fish or dolphins. It was a fun excursion in the bay.
