Great way to view the sunset - If you're looking for a relaxing and memorable experience, I highly recommend a sunset boat ride. The views were absolutely beautiful, especially as the sun set over the ocean. We were lucky enough to see several sea animals, which made the trip even more special. The ride was peaceful, fun, and a great way to unwind while taking in Hawaii's natural beauty. It was the perfect way to end the day, and I would definitely do it again!

Golden Sunsets - My family and I flew in to Oahu and this was our first taste of Hawaii! The trip was wonderful and we had a great time! The sunset was amazing and the crew friendly and professional. I would absolutely book this trip again.

A Unique and Beautiful View of Waikiki! - I took a sunset cruise, and it was wonderful! The price was pretty reasonable, and an hour and a half on the water was perfect. The glass bottom gave gorgeous views of the fish and the coral / sea bottom, the ride was smooth, and fun music played. The tour guides fed the fish, so we got to see lots of them and learn their names. We saw a turtle, too! Brandon and Stone, who led the tour, were very friendly, too. I love that it is locally owned, too. There were only 9 of us on a 40-person boat, which was awesome! We had so much space. We got spectacular views of the island and the sunset over the ocean! This is great for anyone - families, solo travelers, or couples!

Nice relaxing cruise. - It was a very nice relaxing time winding down from a busy day. The beautiful sunset popped out as we were coming in to dock, so it would have been nice if our 90 minute cruise would have started a few minutes later. We saw a sea turtle and loads of fish.

Even though this activity... - Even though this activity was listed as starting at 6pm, it actually started at 5:30pm. The tour operator did not contact us until 4:30pm, and claimed that we did not fill out the waiver but then provided an incomplete link to the waiver. It was only at 4:30pm that we were notified that they wanted us at the dock 20-30 minutes before the 5:30pm departure, meaning we had to rush to the dock. The sunset view was nice, but very few fish were seen so would not recommend this tour if the goal is to see sea life.

Dissatisfied - This was not a successful purchase. They waited until the mid day to send me notification that the tour was canceled due to weather. However, there were others that sail out that day. There was no bad weather that evening. They ruined the joy the family of 7 was looking forward to experiencing. Very dissatisfied customer.

Very Disappointed in Viator - This review has nothing to do with the tour itself. When we arrived for the tour (drove almost an hour each way), we were informed that the last tour left at 530, always has been the last tour of the day. Our tour was booked for 600. I am extremely disappointed with Viator for making us miss our tour, spending the money on gas AND pay for parking....all to not even experience the tour. And trying to find contact information to speak with someone "24/7" has been difficult to navigate, and have come up with nothing. Will not be booking again through Viator.
