    Beautiful Scenery and knowledgeable staff. They answered several questions about the history of Hawaii. They also engaged the guests.

  • A bit underwhelming but still okay

    Sort of an underwhelming experience. I was expecting to see the view of the ocean from a fully glassed bottom of boat. However all the boat had was 4 small rectangular openings that we viewed down to see a small rectangular glass which was 10 feet below us. I also saw almost no fish from the glass aside from a couple small black fish. Was actually going to give this a 3 star but the bearded guy gave me a good history of Orcas when I asked him about it. I appreciated his knowledge/conversation.
