Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Sunset Cruise
Overview
Discover why Hawaii Glass Bottom Boats is one of the best Waikīkī boat tours and a must-do activity in Honolulu. Departing from Kewalo Harbor, just minutes from Waikīkī, our family-friendly glass bottom boat tour offers incredible views of tropical reef fish, Hawaiian green sea turtles (honu), dolphins, and seasonal humpback whales—all through our underwater viewing windows without getting wet.
Our local crew brings Hawaii to life with fun stories, island history, and marine life education, making every cruise unique. Choose from daytime reef tours, sunset cruises, Friday night fireworks cruises, or private charters. Every trip is different, with wildlife sightings changing daily.
Whether you're visiting Oʻahu for the first time or looking for the perfect family adventure, this is a top-rated experience for all ages. Reserve your Waikīkī glass bottom boat tour today—our most popular departures often sell out in advance.
