Additional Information
Experience the splendor of Oahu’s South Shore on our journey from Kewalo Basin Harbor to Lē’ahi (Diamond Head). Marvel at the transparent view of the Pacific Ocean bed as we sail over thriving tropical reefs and one of Hawaii’s renowned shipwrecks.

The ocean has never been revealed to you in this way before!

It’s an excellent activity for convention attendees, team building, military outings, local school excursions, or wedding voyages presenting you on your wedding day with the splendid scenery of Oahu’s coastline.

Super fun, one hour tour! - We loved going out on the water. Brandon and Stone were great captains/guides. We were surprised that the boat we were on was not actually glass bottom, but had several "portals" with glass looking down into ocean. It didn't matter too much because the sea was rough and murky, but if someone is expecting an actual glass bottom boat, this could be disappointing.
