Glass Bottom Boat Tours

Discover the vibrant underwater world of Hawaii’s Big Island without even getting your feet wet. A glass bottom boat tour offers a comfortable and family-friendly way to explore the colorful coral reefs and abundant marine life that thrive just beneath the surface of Kona’s crystal-clear waters.

These tours are ideal for all ages, especially for those who may not snorkel or dive. As the boat glides over shallow reefs, you’ll enjoy up-close views of tropical fish, sea urchins, coral formations, and maybe even a sea turtle or two — all visible through large viewing panels below deck.

Knowledgeable guides share fascinating facts about the reef ecosystem, marine species, and Hawaiian culture during the trip. Many tours depart from Kailua-Kona and last around 60 minutes, making them a great option for families or visitors with a packed itinerary.

Choose from a variety of tour times throughout the day, including midday and afternoon departures that provide optimal lighting for underwater visibility. Some boats even feature shaded seating and onboard refreshments to keep you comfortable as you cruise the Kona coastline.

Whether you're traveling with kids, grandparents, or anyone looking for a relaxing yet immersive ocean experience, a glass bottom boat tour is a must-do activity on Hawaii’s Big Island. Book online to secure your seat and enjoy discounted prices through Big Island Discount.
