The 50-minute Big Island of Hawaii Glass-Bottom Boat Reef Tour departs from Kailua Pier, located near the Courtyard Marriott King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel in Kailua-Kona. Guests should arrive at least 10 minutes before departure and allow time for parking and walking to the boat, which is moored midway down the pier on the left side, marked by blue and yellow flags on the mast. The tour is aboard Marian, a custom-built 36-foot glass-bottom boat designed to provide close-up views of the coral reef and marine life within Kailua Bay. The boat cruises just inches above the reef along the coastline, offering clear underwater views through its glass bottom. A marine naturalist guide provides live commentary throughout the tour, explaining the corals, tropical fish, and other marine creatures visible beneath the surface. Passengers can also see the nearby coastline, mountains, and local historical sites. Wildlife sightings may include dolphins and seasonal whales. The boat is equipped with onboard restrooms and offers carbonated beverages and cold water; food and other drinks are not included. The tour is suitable for all ages, including children and snorkelers interested in marine life. Comfortable clothing and footwear are recommended, and bringing a camera is advised. The boat departs promptly at the scheduled time, so punctuality is important. Private charters are available. This tour requires reconfirmation with the local supplier. Children must be accompanied by an adult, with a maximum of two children or infants per adult. The tour is not recommended for those extremely prone to seasickness.
