About Kailua Bay Charter Company - Glass Bottom Boat Tour
Cruise Kailua Bay with Kailua Bay Charter Company on a glass bottom boat tour featuring Kona coast views, reef scenery and marine life viewing without getting in the water.
Step aboard a comfortable glass bottom boat and glide along the calm Kailua-Kona shoreline, where clear water reveals a living tapestry of coral reefs just beneath your feet. Colorful reef fish dart through branching corals, sea turtles rise for a breath and the crew points out each discovery while sharing fun facts about Hawaii's unique marine ecosystem. Because the viewing windows run the length of the boat, every seat offers a front-row look at life below the surface—no snorkeling gear required.
