Fun little outing - The guides were very personable and knowledgeable, and we were able to see sea turtles and a variety of fish. Weather for it was perfect too. We are not big on snorkeling so this was a nice alternative. Definitely recommend!

Exciting boat tour! - We absolutely loved this glass bottom boat tour! So fun to be able to see the bottom of the ocean and all the marine life that inhabit it. We saw loads of beautiful coral and so many different kinds of fish. At the end as we were coming back to shore we saw some green sea turtles! So graceful and lovely! The guide was knowledgeable about what we were seeing and we felt very safe on the boat. We also saw a pod of dolphins which was a bonus! So fun to see them swimming and jumping out of the water right beside the boat! A wonderful time!

Pleasant and relaxing ride - Beautiful views, a smooth and sedate ride, and a very well informed but modest crew made for a relaxing half hour out of and back into the bay. No roller coaster but definitely a pleasant way to while away a beautiful day in Hawai’i.

Great fun! - This was so much fun, and an easy going boat ride, over the coral reef, where we saw so many colorful fish, big and small. The guides are super nice and enjoyable and full of fun facts . Definitely recommend this.

Just Right Glass Bottom Tour - Perfect quick tour to see the underwater world right outside our resort hotel. Plenty of fish, sea cucumbers, and turtles to see!

Short changed - Guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We had anticipated a ride of about 90 minutes but only spent about 30 minutes on the boat. A little disappointed.

Disappointed - We never made it to the boat due to the horrible map that was provided for us. We followed what we felt was a path down to the ocean to find absolutely nothing around. Your staff contacted me to see if we were about at launch point and it was no where in site. Very disappointed in the address and map given
