It was a very relaxing and scenic tour with good stories, music, and dancing. We were able to see some fish and turtles along the way. Well worth the price.

"Relaxin and maxin’ On the Ocean"
October 2018
We have family in town and it is there 3rd time visiting and was looking for something unique and different too that wasn't too far on the extreme side. A few friends recommended Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat Tours and I think it was the perfect fit. They offer a few rides during the day and also at sunset and the evening. You can't go wrong with the view at all. You will see diamond head ana great view of the city that you can probably post on a picture in your home. The fishes were a little slow today but they had back up with some fish food to bring them out which was great for the kids onboard. A few turtles popped up and overall my family was pleased and had great pictures and video to show their friends and family back home. I would highly recommend for anyone that wants to see a little bit of awesomeness of the sea life here but still stay chill at the same time!

"Wonderful Refreshing Cruise"
June 2018
My Daughter booked the Glass Bottom boat tour as a last minute tour, and were very pleased that we did. Very nice crew aboard and a Pod of Porpoises followed out boat for some time. We did see a few Turtle's but a little to far away to photograph, The water was so beautiful and the cool breeze was very welcome. We very much enjoyed our trip. Thank You Reserve Direct for a very welcome trip. Will gladly recommend to anyone.

If you see a groupon for this, call the boat company directly and ask for the price. I paid a dollar more and booked it directly. It was a "same day" booking so maybe that's why but every little bit helps when you are on vacation here. The guy from the boat tour was knowledgeable and friendly. My only problem with him is that he sort of got in the way a couple of times. We were headed towards Diamond Head and he stood at the front of the boat talking to someone. The guy next to me was trying to get a shot of Diamond Head but said he didn't want to ask the boat guy to move. Later we went over a sunken dredger. Everyone crowded around the two glass panels in the boat. He asked me to move so he could see if we were over it and he never moved back out of the way so I didn't get to see that at all. He didn't mean to be rude, he just didn't realize he was in the way. Saw one turtle and a couple of schools of fish. Generally very pleasant experience and I would recommend them.

"Crew awesome, boat awful"
TripAdvisor user rating 2 out of 5
Reviewed January 07, 2020 NEW
The crew on this boat was outstanding and made up for the dissapointment in the 'glass bottom' . There are a few viewing areas to lean over and try to see fish, but mostly you see nothing. If you are looking for an enjoyable one hour sail with awesome view of Waikiki beach and Diamond Head, this is it, but if you are truly looking for glass bottom and fish viewing, this is not it!!!!

Reviewed December 30, 2019 NEW
It was sold as a 90 minute glass bottom boat ride. It was just under 1 hr and very crowded and saw three turtles. I know there are no guarantees but really not much. The boat ride was nice and we saw Hawai’i from the water. Not really worth the price paid

Reviewed December 29, 2019 NEW
55$ with tax, less than an hour out in the water. Juice/water was in plastic cups,no cocktails. Def not worth it. Last min only available one but would not do it again or recommend it. Crew was friendly but was a total rip off. There are other cruises that include open bar and leave from waikiki,you can also see the fireworks close up from Hilton Hotel Waikiki every friday night. Didn’t want to leave this review but was very disappointed.
