Description

Enjoy the beauty of Oahu’s South Shore! Depart from the Kewalo Basin Harbor and head toward Lē’ahi (Diamond Head). While aboard the Haleiwa Queen, enjoy the clear view of the Pacific Ocean floor as we cruise over live tropical reefs and one of Hawaii’s popular shipwrecks. Keep an eye out for honu (sea turtles), eels, reef sharks, dolphins, and schools of tropical fish, all visible from the deck of our vessel through our glass-bottom boat viewports. You’ve never seen the ocean like this before! Perfect for large or small groups, book a fun-filled tour with Hawaii Glass Bottom Boats for your family or friends while visiting Hawaii. It’s a great activity for convention groups, employee appreciation days, military group outings, and local school field trips. We also offer wedding photo tours showcasing you on your wedding day against the beautiful backdrop of Oahu’s coastline. PLEASE NOTE: We make every effort possible to view marine life, but we CANNOT guarantee any animal sightings.

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely incredible experience for all ages!

​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely incredible experience for all ages! ​We booked this glass-bottom boat tour on a whim, and it ended up being the absolute highlight of our trip! The boat was pristine, and the viewing windows were crystal clear, giving us an unbelievable look at the reef and marine life below. We saw everything from sea turtles to colorful coral formations and schools of tropical fish. ​Our captain/guide, Austin and Sophia were fantastic—super knowledgeable, funny, and great at spotting things we would have completely missed. It was the perfect way to see the underwater world without getting wet, which was amazing for our family. Worth every penny. Don't hesitate to book this!

So much fun!

One of my favorite things were all the different types of fishes and the turtle and dolphins. Crew members (Austin and Brandon) were friendly and skilled.

Fun crew, great viewing and awesome way to be out on the water while staying at Waikīkī !!

Our glass bottom boat tour was sensational!! Great viewing of fish, turtles and all of Waikīkī shoreline!! The captain was great not just at captaining the boat but with giving us some lots of info on both marine life and shore life! Pictures at Diamond Head were snacking and the viewing from 4 glass bottom areas was unique and fun!! Do not hesitate to take this tour when on Waikīkī !!
