Happy in Honolulu - Most affordable thing to do in Honolulu. Guides were great and were able to find some whales for viewing even in mid April. Not a true glass bottom boat but it did not matter

Fun on the water! - It was a fun way to get out on the ocean right away in the morning. We saw lots of fish and turtles. If you don't want to get wet it is a good option.

Great activity for families! - Felt like a private charter because we only had one other family with us! Plenty of space on the boat to walk around and see things. Captains were also very friendly and great at explaining all the sights. Did their best to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible!

Not as Expected - It was a short one hour trip out on the Pacific with the promise of the possibility of… seeing nature. We stopped twice. The first time in the very far distance we saw a whale tail (kind of). The second time we stopped our tour guide threw out some bait and we saw fish. Other than that ride out to the Pacific, I really don’t think it was worth the price.
