We had the BEST time with...

We had the BEST time with Waikiki Sunset Tours! It was absolutely awesome and so much fun from start to finish. Everyone was fantastic, but our female captain was truly incredible, so funny, friendly, and full of personality. She definitely made the experience even more memorable and took our trip to the next level! We had such a great time and would 100% recommend Waikiki Sunset Tours to anyone visiting Oahu. An amazing experience with an amazing crew!

Andy_G, Aug 2026

Great crew! Had a boat to ourselves without cancellation !

One of the best things we did in Hawaii! We arrived about 20minutes early once everything was cleared and ready they allowed us to get comfortable on the boat. You are required to remove and leave your shoes in a bin as an FYI. Once our time slot arrived we were the only ones on! It was an anniversary trip for my wife and I so we were the only two riders. Instead of cancelling, they took us out and we had the entire boat to ourselves! Huge props to the crew allowing us to maintain our schedule and trip without cancelling or making us wait for the next trip!!! Zack was our bartender and he was more than accommodating! Highly recommend this experience this is a fair price for the overall trip!!

Ni'ihau and Na Pali Coast Snorkel Boat Tour

garcee, May 2026

The excursion was nice....

The excursion was nice. Ship was very clean and organized. Food was ok with breakfast and lunch sandwich. Captain Ned was knowledgeable about the island. We saw dolphins on the way to Ni’ihau. It was quite a long ride but weather was nice. It’s not so rocky but people with motion sickness should prepare before you get on the boat. Went to 1 spot for snorkeling, not so many fishes. Wish could have a quick second snorkel stop. Crew were very helpful and attentive.

We were very impressed...

We were very impressed with this outfit, the boat, crew, and meals provided. The crew were enthusiastic, helpful and had a lot of information to share about the island. We went to "Iguana" for our first snorkel which had interesting coral formations and few fish species. There were more and varied fish at the second site, Kealakekua Bay and the Captain Cook Memorial. Overall, I would recommend this company and experience.

5 year old loved getting splashed by the waves

I went on this tour with a friend and my 5 year old grandson on the 11 am tour. Read the text they send to understand where to park and meet. The front of the boat in the trampoline area is a splash zone for waves on the way out and my grandson sat there and loved watching the waves slash over onto him. He was soaked so bring spare clothes or wear bathing suits for those spots. There are areas to sit in the shade as well. I would encourage putting on sunscreen prior to protect against burns. The crew was amazing and informative. We were lucky to see a whale breach, flap its tail several times and also give us a wave . We spotted two dolphin pods swimming near us which was also pretty neat. Beautiful boat ride and would highly recommend this tour. We had a blast! Parking is paid parking and you check in by standing next to the closed up bathrooms next to the street. They will walk up and check you in. There were two other boats packed with people at the same spot and they will leave out before you board as an FYI.

Simply Wonderful!

Booked with Viator which was about $40 cheaper than booking at the hotel! Honestly, savings aside...it's totally worth the cost. The crew on Sunday, 1/25/26 was very accommodating and nice. The view was amazing and we had a great time! We saw whales and dolphins and the captain caught a huge tuna. You get 2 drinks and snacks included in the price which is a bargain in itself. Love the boat! Plenty of spacing and tables to enjoy the adventure. 🥰

Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Fireworks Tour

Danny_T, Jan 2026

The experience was very...

The experience was very fun. It was nice to just cruise and see the city from the ocean at night with a nice night breeze. The captain has a very fun personality and made the ride quite enjoyable. The fireworks we also very nice to see from the ocean view. Regarding the glass bottom; do not expect a full see through bottom. Instead there are 4 large windows attached to the bottom of the boat where you can see the ocean floor and wild life.

Rachel_M, Nov 2025

Outstanding Trip

Captain Mike and Courtney were fantastic hosts. We loved being in a smaller group and being in a zodiac boat. Both were professional and cheerful and you could tell they love their job. Mike educated us and took us to locations that were not overly crowded. two out of the three places, we were the only boat. Obviously at Captain Cook’s Cove. There were other boats, but still was not overly crowded. Courtney cut up fresh fruit to have a snack. Snacks waited on his hand and foot and took care of everything. The food was good and fresh. We got more than our moneys worth on this trip. highly highly recommend this tour.
