Enjoyable trip - Wonderful trip, had dolphins swimming beside the boat, saw a couple of turtles and a few fish - pretty much around the boat and nothing much thru the glass bottom panels, but was still a brilliant trip with great skippers.

Good experience for the most part. - It was fun to see Waikiki from the water. We only saw a couple of turtles and the fish that were fed along the boat. The glass bottom was no help at seeing the underwater animals. The water was beautiful. I realize seeing anything spectacular is a chance.
