Had the chance to see a turtle and a school of fish. Relaxing boat ride but was expecting the glass bottom to be in the middle of the boat. Instead it was 4 tanks we had to look over to see underneath us.

Brandon the captain was great. He had terrible fun puns and dad jokes. We had poor visibility but he was honey about it and we did still get to see some sea turtles and fish.

Had a fun time on the Pacific ocean. Our tour was postponed few times because of the weather and the team provided convenint times for us. Boat crew was very friendly and helpful

Lovely afternoon on the water. Managed to see some turtles & some weird looking fish. Crew were great (sorry can’t remember names but we were on the 13.30 on Mon 6th May) & pointed out the sea life & even took photos for us. Only criticism is it was too short.

Sarah_T

The pilot and crew were very knowledgeable and managed to find us a few fish, sea turtles, and playful dolphins. I would definitely go again!

the view was magnificent. not enough wildlife, the water wad murky for a while before we got to the spot.

The entire boat is NOT glass bottom. It has some windows you can gather around and look down, but the description felt misleading. We saw very little through the glass bottom, mostly just looked at things on the surface. While enjoyable, not a must-do

View of Ala Moana and Waikiki from the boat, a perspective that is lost on land. Very little to see in the way of fish and only those that were fed by the captain turned up. Disappointing. Even the sunken ship couldn't be seen through the bottom of the boat because it was high tide and too deep. Apparently, if we'd known, we would have booked for low tide and in the morning or evening when the fish are searching for food.
