Great trip - FYI you have to get your feet wet for a second on a sandy beach to get on the boat, but there is a railing to hold onto as you get on the boat. The boat trip was great, didn’t have to go on a long trip to see a lot of fish. Make sure to ask a lot of questions, the guides knew cool facts.

Six people, 3 generations enjoyed the tour - With little kids not able to snorkel, we looked for an opportunity to see underwater from a glass bottom boat. There were only two options that we found, one from Kona and one from Waikola Beach. We chose Waikola due to availability. The access was easy, the people great, the boat was as expected. The Guide and Captain were great. Unfortunately the water was stirred up after stormy weather so visibility wasn't great. The entire trip was less than 30 minutes, which seemed too short but the price was reasonable. We recommend it to give some view of sea life without snorkeling,

Not many fish and corals to see in the area - The meeting place was difficult to find. The area has very little fish and corals look dead, it was not worth the money we paid for.
