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.

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!

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!
