We were fortunate enough to get last minute tickets to this boat tour. The booking agent even offered to have transportation set up for us, but it ended up being an easy walk from our hotel (Ala Moana). Once we got on the boat we were offered free water, juice, or beer. From the moment we walked onto the boat, our tour guides were welcoming and informative. They showed us the different landmarks we were passing and also gave us suggestions for other places to check out while we were here in Hawaii. The boat was not crowded so we had plenty of room to walk around and check out the views from all angles. I was enjoying the views so much I almost forgot to look in the 4 ports where the glass bottom of the boat was. It was a little murky from all the waves but we ended up seeing coral, turtles, and fish. This was by far one of the best experiences of our entire trip. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, on the day I arrived with my booking we were turned away, even though I had a printed booking for the trip and reference number. The Catamaran company had not had confirmation from Veltra sent through. They could have called to check but they did not seem interested in doing so. To be turned away was was embarrassing and disappointing as this was a birthday treat for that particular day.
We called Veltra and they did apologise for the misunderstanding and booked us on the next day. We had no issues the next day and I must say had a wonderful time. It was just lucky we had another free day.

Dinner Cruise was awesome. Bus driver on the way was a ass and was nearly punched for being rude to my wife. Told her to be quiet and enjoy the ride. This after he told everyone one the bus we could joke with him because he used to be a shuttle driver.
Everyone on the bus had to drive by the exact same stops twice because he said we didn't know what he was doing.
Whoever scheduled the route didn't know what they were doing it took us nearly 50 minutes to drive around one block If the route would have gone the other way it might have lasted 10 enough said
Warm Aloha Don,
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the Sunset Dinner on board the Majestic but regret to hear that the bus driver was unprofessional. We did speak with bus company and they sincerely apologize but the bus driver did not mean to offend you in any way.
We hope that your family can return to Hawaii and experience the warmth of Aloha!

This is a definitely a cruise for the older crowd. If you are wanting something upbeat and fun this is not for you. The atmosphere is nice and the fireworks were beautiful but it wasn't what we were expecting or hoping for.

We have been to this Luau twice before and had a great meal and the show was fantastic both times. On this visit, the show was great, however, the pork was extremely salty and none of us ate the pork. That was not a good thing since the pig is a big part of the Luau.

When we went on the Waikiki Glass Bottom tour in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary, we were greeted very warmly and we felt very welcomed. Although it was raining, we still felt comfortable because of the crew and were offered free drinks. During the boat ride, we saw coral, tropical fish, and even sea turtles! We took lots of pictures of the stunning scenery of Waikiki and the Diamond Head. The crew also explained the history of Waikiki and made the tour more interesting so that every moment was enjoyable. Next time we come to Hawaii, we will definitely be going on the tour again. We highly recommend this great vacation tour for anyone travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.

午前の部に参加しました。なるべくサンドバーに行く時間が干潮になるような日付を選びましたが、潮位は膝下ぐらいでした。しかもハリケーン接近の前日でだったのでお天気はいまいちでしたが海亀さんは人に慣れているのか停泊中のボート付近に遊びに来てくれて向こうからぶつかってきそうな所で泳いでくれました。食事も軽食とあったので期待はしていませんでしたが美味しかったです。シュノーケルも無理ない距離で楽しく出来ました。リーフシューズは買って持っていくまでもないと思います。更衣室はないと思った方が良いです。集合写真を1枚だけ無料ダウンロード出来るのも良心的だと思います。
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございます。
楽しんで頂けたようで本当に嬉しいです。ホヌ達にも会えてたくさ〜んのHappyをお持ち帰り出来ましたのでは?
ツアーの際更衣室、ロッカーなどはありません。ツアー参加の際はお部屋から水着着用で参加、帰りも水着のままでホテル迄戻って頂く事になります。シュノーケルに参加されない予定でも、サンドバーに行かれる際は海に入って頂かないと行けませんので、必ず濡れても構わない服装でご参加下さいね。
天国の海、再チャレンジお待ちしております。マハロ!

My friends and I loved this Luau! We were captured by the beautiful scenery of the sunset, tropical trees, and beach view this luau offered all in one specific location. We had the Orchid package, seated right in front of the stairs stage that extends its way down the isle. The hospitality at this luau was beyond our expectations. We were genuinely greeted with Aloha by every cousin and aunties we seen there. Paradise Cove is definitely one of the beautiful Luau's here in Oahu that you will definitely feel like you're getting an authentic worth for the Luau.

It was our first time experiencing the glass bottom boat tour. Although it wasn't what I was expecting from the title of the tour, but it was fun. The boat consisted of boxes with glass bottom you can look down to see underneath the boat. During the shallow parts of the water, you can see fishes and of course it's not a guarantee on what or what not you would see. But, wish we would have seen more!
The captain and his partner were friendly and nice. We went during the first tour at 9am, so we basically had the entire boat to roam around with another family. They offer drinks (water, bud light, soda) and restroom on board, which was great!
We were also lucky with the day that we went. It was sunny but during some parts of the tour, the clouds covered the sun, so the breeze was nice. So all in all, it was a fun experience.

This glass bottom boat trip gives one a new view to look at while experiencing a cruise. Not only is the view amazing but you get to see a side of wild life you don't usually get to look at. We got to see a few different types of fish and a number of turtles.
Our captain and his partner were also hugely helpful. Answering all questions and giving us interesting information on the sea and boat life here in Waikiki. But do understand, you can't control wild life, so some days or seasons might be better to go than others. And while what wild life you see may depend on a number of different things, the view is always enjoyable and relaxing.

以前より気になっておりまして、前回ハワイに行った際は予約が取れずに今回は再チャレンジ!
大変楽しみに行きました。自然には勝てず。満潮でサンドバーはひざ上位まで。そして雨
但しシュノーケリングは潮が強かったですが、満足のいくツアーでした。ウミガメも出現して、身近で見れて感激。この様な天気でしたので、次回は潮を調べて再チャレンジ。
スタッフは最高でした
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーへご参加頂きありがとうございます。
再チャレンジお待ちしてますね!!次回はう〜んと素敵なサンドバーを楽しんで頂けますように!!

This would have been a great snorkel adventure if there weren't so many people on board. It was impossible to view turtles. We were told to stick together and when the crew member who was in the water with us alerted us about a sighting everyone would swim over towards the turtles and you would either get kicked or shoved aside. Finally my granddaughter and I gave up and swam back toward the catamaran and we saw plenty of fish. The lunch was a lot better than the catamaran snorkel sail I took her on last year while she was here visiting. But they had a lot fewer people and we were able to snorkel and see turtles without being run over.

This was my first time doing anything like this, and I have to say, it defied my expectations in a good way. I had prepared myself for something flashy—bordering on gaudy, even—but what I got was something casual and relaxing, yet still elegant. There were no forced performances or over-the-top dramatizations, just a well-prepared dinner, prompt service and outstanding views. In a word, the whole experience felt genuine. It didn't feel pre-packaged or manufactured. I highly recommend it, especially for a group.

What a wonderful evening!
The boat is very elegant and has three decks with excellent viewing areas. The large windows are a plus, no matter where you are seated you will get a great view of Waikiki. My favorite part was the lounge area on the second deck, after dinner we enjoyed some cocktails listening to great Hawaiian Jazz music. The transportation was punctual and the staff is very friendly. The dinner buffet is good and there are options for everyone.
I had a really nice time with my friends at the Majestic, I would definitely recommend it for everybody.

ハワイでシュノーケリングは何回か経験があるのですが、今回はTVによく出ている海の中のサンドバーに行ってみたいと思い、申し込みました。午前中はもう予約が空いてなかったので午後にしたのですが、残念ながら満潮で深さは小さい私の身長では腰のあたりまでありました。深い所では足がつかないので救命胴衣を着けながらでしたが、海はとてもきれいでウミガメもかなり間近で見られました。その後深めの所へ移動してシュノーケリングをしました。しない人は船に残っていましたが、そんなに長い時間ではなく見てるのも面白かったみたいで退屈ではなさそうでした。今まで参加してきたツアーに比べるとシュノーケリングはメインではないので少し物足りなかったですが、スタッフの方々の説明はわかりやすく安全にも配慮していることがうかがわれました。食べ物は船に乗ると間もなく出来立てのマラサダが配られていただけるのと、バーベキューランチはサラダ、お肉が数種類、パイナップル、ごはん、チリビーンズなどのブフェで、お肉とパイナップルが特においしくてたくさん食べました。全体的にハワイらしく盛り上げる雰囲気で年齢の少し行っている私たちはちょっと気おくれしていましたが、ガイドさんもお子さんがもう大きいという話だったので、年齢は関係ないんだなと感心しました。船もあまり揺れないので、のんびり海に入りたいけどちょっとアクティブにもしたい、という方にお勧めです。
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーご参加ありがとうございます。
このツアーはベイビーから上は90代のお客様迄楽しんで頂いてます。
ウミガメに何回も会えたんですね。きっとにょろろ様にHappyを運んで来てくれたのでは?
また遊びに来て下さいね。マハロ〜!

We looked at several different Luau options and choice Paradise Cover...it was a great decision! This is great for couples and families, everyone will have a great time! We didn't pay the extra and sat out on the wings and it was worth the money. We got the same food and drinks and a great view of the show.
