What to Expect

Join us at the Ko Olina Marina, where the 50ft glass bottom boat, named Alohi, awaits. Here you will meet your friendly captain and crew as you step aboard.

Marvel at the sight of graceful sea turtles gliding through the water, colorful schools of tropical fish darting among the corals, and elusive eels weaving their way through the reefs.

The waters of West Oahu are renowned for their exceptional clarity, attributed to the region's unique ocean currents and minimal runoff from land. This pristine visibility, often exceeding 100 feet, allows for unparalleled viewing of the vibrant marine life and intricate coral reefs, making it a premier destination for underwater exploration.

The sight of these majestic creatures, coupled with their hauntingly beautiful songs, is an experience you’ll never forget.

Throughout the one-hour tour, the boat hugs the inside reefs, ensuring you get the best views of the marine life. The gentle cruise is perfect for all ages, providing a safe and comfortable way to explore the ocean’s wonders.
