This is our 5th or 6th time using the Glass Bottom Boat for the Friday firework show in Waikiki. The captain and his mate are always professional and informative. We learn something new about the area each time. Highly recommended!

Our tour was changed, the glass bottom boat was not available. We were put on a sail boat instead. Seating was far less comfortable. We took a night trip so that we could watch fireworks from the water, this we did get to see. So I have a split rating overall. I had to select "yes or no" as to would I recommend it to a friend. The change from one boat to another was very disappointing. However the crew were very hospitable and we did get to see the fireworks.

Although quick and a bit late, it was a wonderful experience, the fireworks were beautiful, the crew was so friendly and fun.

Amazing views of the fireworks, it felt like we had the best location on the water among the different boats! The crew was absolutely fantastic too, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We learned about upcoming things to do in the area and a local farmers market!

We LOVED this! Seeing the fireworks from the ocean was awesome! The water was rough but our captain expertly maneuvered the boat and it didn’t feel rough or choppy.

Great company to use to see the Friday night fireworks. Very professional! Solid hour trip. Get there early for parking. Small public lot to the east.

If you are in Oahu and in Waikiki on Friday, you MUST do the Glass Bottom boat tour to see the Friday night fireworks, it was an amazing place to view this spectacular event and you will not regret it at all. They are not far from Ala Moana and definitely on the TO DO List for Waikiki.

We're in Hawaii for our honeymoon and thought that a fireworks show on the ocean was a unique experience and wanted to try it. The fireworks were amazing and we had a good time overall but honestly, there was nothing else interesting other than the fireworks itself. The boat ride on the way out to the ocean was pretty normal and they put music for us to listen to on the intercom. If I could go back in time I wouldn't have done this cruise as the price was way too expensive for what you're getting. I would recommend just viewing the fireworks on the ground, it is free and you're not missing out on much. The description also mentioned that we'd get a water bottle but we didn't receive anything.
