What are people saying about Oahu

Molly_P, Mar 2026

What a fun day - we were...

What a fun day - we were fortunate the weather broke and gave us sunshine for a day. The previous day's storms made the water too cloudy for snorkeling, but we had a great time! The crew was amazing and kept us laughing the whole time. Highly recommend this activity.

West Oahu Deluxe Whale Watching Sail

Nicholas_L, Mar 2026

Great whale watching experience

This was a great experience! The boat is quite big and easily fit the 16 passengers on our tour. Captain Quin, Keoni, and Jesse were a great crew! Very friendly and quite knowledgeable about whales. We were able to see several whales and some were quite close to our boat! The free drinks were a nice plus. The overall experience was top notch!

Best Waikiki Whale Watching in Honolulu: Whales Guaranteed

cynthia_s, Mar 2026

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.

Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Fireworks Tour

Nakia_B, Feb 2026

Family Friendly Friday Night Fireworks

We booked this excursion for the kids in our group. The scenery was beautiful and I believe that it was a great idea to watch the fireworks show that happens every Friday night in Oahu from the ocean view. We did not see a lot of fish in the glass bottom but the firework show was amazing the music was great and the staff was very kind. I would definitely recommend this experience to others. This operator offers specific glass bottom boat tours that I believe would have been a great way to view marine life.

Waikiki Friday Fireworks Party Cruise with Live DJ & Full Bar

Absolute blast!...

Absolute blast! Our boat fireworks adventure was way better than expected. The crew was fun, chill, and super helpful, and the price was more than fair. DJ had the 90s R&B vibes going all night, the crowd was lit, and the whole experience was nonstop fun. Highly recommend and yes, there’s even a bathroom on board!

Three Tiki Sailing gets 5 Stars!

What a great time! 2 hours was a perfect amount of time, the crew were excellent, the boat beautiful and the brief sailing after snorkeling was relaxing. The equipment provided was of good quality, and we saw tons of beautiful fish, a bunch of turtles, and had a great time.

Waikiki Fireworks Dinner Cruise: Sail & Sparkle on Friday Nights

Katherine_L, Nov 2025

Take this Harbor Cruise!

What a fun experience! It was easy to find inexpensive parking right at the pier. The crew, Greta and Natalie, were friendly and welcoming and happy which made the adventure great. Captain Chris, who they also call Captain Topher even though he goes by Chris, was witty, but most importantly a very safe catamaran pilot throughout the darkened harbor after sunset. He maneuvered us perfectly to watch the Friday night fireworks. The fireworks lasted maybe 5 to 10 minutes and was spectacular! The drinks were good and the bento box type food was tasty and also I felt much more sanitary than a buffet. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and felt it was worth the money! Do it! It was a rather smooth ride (it's the biggest catamaran) and I never got the slightest bit seasick in the middle of the boat.

Small Group Yacht Sunset Cruise from Oahu

Thomas_D, Sep 2025

Beautiful & informative sunset cruise

Beautiful boat with a very knowledgeable and friendly crew. Our captain and mate made sure they understood what each passenger was interested in and was comfortable with to ensure a great experience. The cruise is a great length. And the food was delicious. We were lucky enough to see a pod of Spinner Dolphins on our cruise and beautiful sunset. Great experience all around. Worth the price. Would recommend without hesitation.

Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Sunset Cruise

Theresa_P, Jul 2025

Never thought I’d ever swim with sharks and fell in love with them today!!!

First things first… The shark review!!! Solid shark shaped 5 stars! For 50 years, I’ve had a “never will I ever swim within eleventy million miles of where sharks may exist!!! But today…today as soon as we got to the shark spot, me and the sharks, we made eye contact and it was love at first sight (for me at least). Watching them watch me watch them watch me watch them just majestically swimming around all cutsie like, them just as curious about what was going on above the surface as I was about what was going on in their beady little eyes below the surface…I stopped myself several times mid hand wave. Like, they’re sharks and haha not going to wave back, but I swear we understood each other. I named them. Don’t judge! Ok so THE CREW review!!!!!!!!!! (Saved best for last) 5 solid, bold print, italicized, underlined, bright yellow stars for sure!!!! Knowledgeable, comforting, assuring, honest, protective, confident, very informative, and all def vibed “kind and decent human being” energy!!! I had some autistically prepared context questions that, autistically, I wasn’t prepared to ask so I def appreciated their informative group lecture which answered my questions anyway! Phew! Do the tour! The crew is so awesome that even if the sharks are a no-show, you will still enjoy their vide and knowledge and compassion. 5 solid stars!

Waikiki Friday Fireworks Boat Cruise from Oahu

Michael_N, Jun 2025

Awesome Fireworks Cruise

We kept hearing that the best way to watch the Friday fireworks was from the water. Viator had a great option with Go Hawaii Watersports on a catamaran. We arrived at the dock about 6 pm and the line to the check-in was very long. It was no fault of GHW; it was because nobody ready a freaking email fully anymore. They had to complete their waivers at the dock instead of prior. Okay, enough of that. We were ushered down the dock to this lovely boat. There were numerous dem hands to help us on board. We grabbed a seat up top. Although the website suggested BYOB, quickly the captain advised all the drinks and snacks were free! A There were Mai Tias and various soft drinks as well as bagged sweet and salty snacks. Hard to believe they could do this for such a reasonable price. The entire crew was great! They took customer pictures and delivered Mai Tais and snacks, even on the upper deck as the boat bobbed in the water. The tour did not disappoint. There was a beautiful sunset and we could see the city and Diamond Head in the distance. The night turned into a family party with everyone laughing and chatting with each other and the crew. And no joke - it was the place to see the fireworks. So good from that angle. Wonderful end to end. Use Go Hawaii Watersports for this and any other watersport needs. You even get a 20% discount on future bookings!
