About this experience
Waikiki Marine Life Tour This glass-bottom boat cruise takes you along Oahu's South Shore for spectacular underwater viewing without getting wet. You'll glide above coral reefs, spot tropical fish, sea turtles and dolphins, all while enjoying panoramic views of Diamond Head and Honolulu's coastline from the Haleiwa Queen. The one-hour tour gives you access to large glass viewing panels that reveal Hawaii's Pacific marine ecosystem below the surface. Between November and May, you'll have the added bonus of potential humpback whale sightings during their annual migration. The tour includes a sunken shipwreck viewing and plenty of opportunities to observe Hawaii's diverse underwater world.
