Waikiki: Daytime Glass Bottom Boat Tour

Waikiki Daytime Glass Bottom Boat Tour

This one-hour glass bottom boat tour offers you a unique view of Hawaii's marine life without getting wet. You'll cruise along the famous Waikiki coast whilst watching tropical fish, coral reefs and marine creatures through clear glass viewing windows built into the boat's floor.

The boat features four glass-bottom viewing stations that provide clear sightlines to the ocean floor below. You'll spot colourful parrotfish, graceful sea turtles and schools of tropical fish swimming around living coral reefs. During winter months, you might even see whales surfacing nearby, whilst dolphins are frequently spotted year-round playing in these waters.

Beyond the underwater views, you'll enjoy panoramic vistas of Waikiki Beach and the Honolulu skyline from the water. The experienced crew provides commentary throughout, helping you identify different marine species and sharing facts about local wildlife. This relaxed cruise suits families, couples or anyone wanting to explore Oahu's waters from a different perspective.
