A new nighttime glass-bottom boat tour has launched in Waikiki, giving visitors a lit-up view of the reef after sunset.

• The custom boat uses a powerful 20,000-lumen lighting system to illuminate the ocean floor and reef below.
• It fills a gap in Waikiki's evening scene, since most tour boats head back to the dock after sunset or after the Friday fireworks.
• Riders can see the reef's nighttime marine life while also catching the Friday fireworks show.
• The same boat also runs daytime trips, including coffee cruises, snorkeling, and whale watching.

Outlook: The tour adds a new after-dark option to Waikiki's tourism lineup, with daytime trips expected to run alongside it year-round.
