Glass-bottom boat tour on Oahu's South Shore from Kewalo Basin, spotting honu and dolphins, with BYO drinks.
“Fun experience and good way to enjoy the sunset. We missed our intended boat ride by a few minutes and they were able to get us on the sunset tour. We still recommend the ride, but be advised the boat does not have a glass bottom. It has four walled in, glass viewing windows in the floor. Maybe we had unrealistic expectations in what a glass bottom boat is. The Captain and his wife were delightful however. Had a great time!”

“Crew and captain friendly and helpful. In spite of choppy water, still managed to see wild sea turtles. Unfortunately no whale sites. When Viatour described the tour we dejected it due to the written 23 person max. Our iarty if six was still afraid of Covid 19 n picked a smaller boat fir that reason. That written policy was violated and my event was spoiled with the additional persons allowed not I ckudi g the count if the crew. Unfair!”
Two-hour Turtle Canyon snorkel from Waikiki with gear, guidance, and a lifeguard onboard, plus scenic sails past Diamond Head.
“The water is extremely choppy and the boat bounces with excessive motion. All of the tours seem to go out to the same general area to snorkel for turtles. The guide didn’t provide much guidance or point out species of fish etc. we saw one turtle that disappeared quickly likely due to the tremendous number of people in the area. There were 6 boats of 25-50 people each parked in the same area. Do not go on this excursion if you have any motion sickness issues. 4 out of 6 people in my family alone that all premeditated still got sea sick.”
