Family Friendly Friday Night Fireworks - We booked this excursion for the kids in our group. The scenery was beautiful and I believe that it was a great idea to watch the fireworks show that happens every Friday night in Oahu from the ocean view. We did not see a lot of fish in the glass bottom but the firework show was amazing the music was great and the staff was very kind. I would definitely recommend this experience to others. This operator offers specific glass bottom boat tours that I believe would have been a great way to view marine life.

The captain has a very fun personality and made the ride quite enjoyable. The fireworks we also very nice to see from the ocean view. Regarding the glass bottom; do not expect a full see through bottom. Instead there are 4 large windows attached to the bottom of the boat where you can see the ocean floor and wild life.

Another excellent voyage! - This is our 5th or 6th time using the Glass Bottom Boat for the Friday firework show in Waikiki. The captain and his mate are always professional and informative. We learn something new about the area each time. Highly recommended!

Amazing views! Wonderful crew - Amazing views of the fireworks, it felt like we had the best location on the water among the different boats! The crew was absolutely fantastic too, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We learned about upcoming things to do in the area and a local farmers market!

Great Way to see the Friday night Fireworks! Go! - We LOVED this! Seeing the fireworks from the ocean was awesome! The water was rough but our captain expertly maneuvered the boat and it didn’t feel rough or choppy.

Waikiki Friday Night Fireworks - If you are in Oahu and in Waikiki on Friday, you MUST do the Glass Bottom boat tour to see the Friday night fireworks, it was an amazing place to view this spectacular event and you will not regret it at all. They are not far from Ala Moana and definitely on the TO DO List for Waikiki.

In the middle "3". - Our tour was changed, the glass bottom boat was not available. We were put on a sail boat instead. Seating was far less comfortable. We took a night trip so that we could watch fireworks from the water, this we did get to see. So I have a split rating overall. I had to select "yes or no" as to would I recommend it to a friend. The change from one boat to another was very disappointing. However the crew were very hospitable and we did get to see the fireworks.
