Family Friendly Friday Night Fireworks
We booked this excursion for the kids in our group. The scenery was beautiful and I believe that it was a great idea to watch the fireworks show that happens every Friday night in Oahu from the ocean view. We did not see a lot of fish in the glass bottom but the firework show was amazing the music was great and the staff was very kind. I would definitely recommend this experience to others. This operator offers specific glass bottom boat tours that I believe would have been a great way to view marine life.

The experience was very...
The experience was very fun. It was nice to just cruise and see the city from the ocean at night with a nice night breeze. The captain has a very fun personality and made the ride quite enjoyable. The fireworks we also very nice to see from the ocean view. Regarding the glass bottom; do not expect a full see through bottom. Instead there are 4 large windows attached to the bottom of the boat where you can see the ocean floor and wild life.

Another excellent voyage!
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!

Friday fireworks Glass bottom boat
The crew was amazing and very accommodating. I took my wife and three children that included a small toddler. The crew was very professional, and checked on us throughout the whole trip. The company is locally owned more affordable than many other companies in the area I highly recommend and would definitely come back. I would recommend arriving earlier than your check in time to find good parking.
Response from the operator: Mahalo for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful experience with us. It’s great to know that our crew’s professionalism and attentiveness made your trip enjoyable, especially with young children in tow. We appreciate your kind words about our locally owned company and the affordability we strive to offer. Thank you for the helpful tip about arriving earlier for parking; we’re sure it will benefit future guests. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back for another adventure soon! Mahalo

Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Fireworks Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Fireworks Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $61 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Fireworks Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oahu is not rushed.
Is Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Fireworks Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Fireworks Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Fireworks Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Fireworks Tour?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oahu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Waikiki Glass Bottom Boat Fireworks Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oahu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oahu?
+
On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oahu: Full or Half Day Grand Circle Island Tour, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour, Oahu Majestic Circle Island Tour with Waimea Falls and Byodo Inn. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oahu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oahu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
