All Reviews for Submarine & Glassbottom Boat

Perfect family friendly glass bottom boat tour. At ~35 min, perfect length for our four-year old.

Staff very friendly, marine expert was great at pointing out the different species and interesting traits.

Tour also launches from a very nice, calm protected beach which would be worth visiting again, as the calm waters would allow even the youngest children the chance to walk and splash in the water with maybe a few small fish swimming by.

We had a great experience on board! The guides were educational and friendly! Our children (3y & 14m) had a lot of fun and enjoyed being able to see all the creatures! We saw turtles, an eel, and so many fish!

My family loved this tour. Great for kids. We loved not having to get in the water to see coral and fish.

We had a great time on the boat. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and it was the perfect activity for a group with kids and grandparents. Everyone got to see fish and turtles up close in a way that was easy and enjoyable for a group not up for snorkeling

I chose this boat because my group had 2 little ones, 3yrs and almost 1yr old. This was perfect for them. We all enjoyed the lessons and the guide who was very attentive to everyone! I highly recommend this tour

I liked this tour, but I would say its a one and done!

Amazing, friendly staff and very informative tour. We saw so many different species and learned a lot during our tour. We already want to go again! We recommend this tour

Very professional. Informative commentary and a great underwater experience.

The tour was excellent even if the surf had made the water a little cloudy. The guides were excellent and knowledgeable.

The crew was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. The surf didn’t allow for good visibility on the day we chose to go, but they informed us ahead of time and gave us the option of rescheduling. We chose to go anyway and they worked hard to still make it a great experience.

Great staff and fun little outing for my 6year old :)

Perfect activity for kids or those with limited mobility. Great crew and fun experience.

It was a smaller boat, so I felt a little bit squished, but I guess that is how submarines must feel!

Not only could we ask her about anything going on 'under the sea', she could tell us in English OR Hawaiian. Wish I could retain a smidge of all that excellent info!

Kai and Mika were great. So educational and informative. We had a great time. We are glad that we went on the glass bottom boat while visiting Hawaii. We live in L.A., and don’t really have this kind of thing near us. Thanks to the boys on the boat. They were great.

Staff are super friendly and funny. Loved the experience of going to 150 ft inside the ocean and see the marine life !!!

Our captain and Amy were Amazing! We saw so many schools of spinner dolphins. Amy told us when to look and where to see some amazing things. They let us enjoy our ride and even almost got to see a whale, it got away. I would definitely recommend this tour.

We would definitely recommend and do this again! We had a blast!

Seeing the difference colored fish. Very informative on fish, life and friendly

We found this trip rather disappointing. It was supposed to last for an hour but we returned to the pier after 50 minutes. In the event we had probably seen all there was to see after 20 minutes. You see rather dull brown/grey coral, some small blue and yellow fish and some sea urchins - No wrays or sharks or anything unusual. In fact the guide started to describe the history of the buildings on the shoreline as we headed back. Not worth the money.

There weren't many fish, and the colors were not very vibrant, which was a bit disappointing, but I had a good experience. Thank you.

魚があまりいなく、色もカラフルでなく若干残念でしたが、良い体験はできました。ありがとうございました・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

The price was high, but it was a worthwhile experience. The meeting point at the Marriott Hotel is hard to find, so it's better to ask the Japanese-speaking staff at the front desk. The restroom is shown to you before boarding.

値段は高かったですが、それに見合う体験でした。マリオットホテルの集合場所がわかりづらいので、フロントの日本語が話せるスタッフに聞いた方がよいです。トイレは乗船前に案内されます。

I was really excited about the adventure because I won’t scuba dive but I was able to see the beautiful scenery at the bottom of the ocean.
Kay was an amazing tour guide. She was so informed and kept us engaged in the whole activity.
This was worth every penny I recommend it.

We experienced it together with our children. The submarine experience lasts about an hour. We used a Japanese guide, but it became annoying halfway through, so we stopped using it. The atmosphere created by the crew is enjoyable enough. If you can understand English, they also tell jokes along the way, which makes it even more fun.

子供も一緒に体験しました。潜水艦は1時間位の体験です。日本語ガイドを使いましたが、途中から鬱陶しくなり、使わなかったです。クルーの雰囲気で十分楽しめます。英語のヒアリングができれば、途中冗談等も言ってくれるのでより楽しめると思います。

We enjoyed this activity very much. We were the only ones on the boat so we had a very personal tour.

The captain and his companion were very nice answering all our questions. It was a windy day, so our family were the only ones on the boat, we saw some fishes and lots of corals, and learned some new things about different fish in Hawaii. The turtles were kond of hiding thought, but the captain made every effort on finding at least one for us, so we got to see it on the surface taking a few breaths.

Thank you,

Our driver was very nice and knowledgeable. The trip was short but very pleasant.

We participated as a three-generation family.
The submarine itself was great!
We were able to comfortably see the seabed!
However, the person who picked us up from our accommodation didn't provide much explanation about the meeting point...
(They did inform us of the pickup time multiple times.)
Since there was no information on this page or the voucher, I had to ask around and make phone calls to manage to board...
I would appreciate it if you could enhance the explanation regarding the meeting point! Please consider this.

3世代で参加しました。
潜水艦そのものは良かったです！
快適に海底を見ることが出来ました！
しかしながら、宿泊場所から送ってくださった方から集合場所について説明があまりなく…
（お迎え時間は何度もお伝えいただいたんですが）
こちらのページやバウチャーにも記載がなかったため、聞きまわったり電話したりしてなんとか乗船できた感じでした…
集合場所についての説明を充実させていただければありがたいです！ぜひご検討ください。

Every year during New Year's, I go to the Big Island (Waikoloa) and Oahu. My wife and I had our first submarine experience, and I couldn't believe we were diving more than 17 to 20 meters underwater. It was moving to see the ocean floor, coral reefs, various fish, and turtles. It was a wonderful experience.

There are four departures a day, but we chose the morning course with explanations and guidance in Japanese. Although the voice was a bit hard to hear, I was glad we chose the Japanese guidance. However, I was at the Atlantis office, and the explanations for the pier and boarding area were very unclear. I think it would have been better if there were signs or something similar.

毎年正月はハワイ島（ワイコロア）とオアフ島に行きます。妻と二人、初めての潜水艦体験で、海の中１７、２０メーター以上潜るとは信じられませんでした。海底、珊瑚礁、いろいろな魚、亀を見られたときは感動、感動。
素晴らしい体験でした。
１日４便ありますが、私たちは、午前中の日本語での説明、案内のコースを選びました。声が少々聞き取りにくかったですが、日本語での案内を選んで良かったと思いました。
ただ、アトランティスの事務所にいたのですが、桟橋と乗り場の説明がとてもわかりにくかったです。案内板等があれば良かったと思います。

I was looking for activities that even a one-year-old child could enjoy, and this was perfect for us! The colorful fish were clearly visible through the beautiful glass bottom of the boat, and luckily, we even encountered a pod of dolphins. The dolphins came right up next to the boat, which was so much fun.

The guide was very knowledgeable about the fish and was a wonderful person with a great sense of service. The explanations were in English, so those who understand English will enjoy it more, but even if you don't understand, the beauty of the sea itself means you won't be disappointed.

The boat ride lasts about an hour. The sea was calm, and the boat didn't rock, but since you tend to look down at the glass bottom, I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to seasickness to take some motion sickness medication. The meeting point was easy to find, and I think you'll spot the boat with the blue and yellow flags right away.

I definitely want to use this service again next time!

１歳の子供でも楽しめるアクティビティを探していたのですが、こちらはそんな私たちにぴったりでした！
カラフルな魚が、キレイなボートのグラス越しによく見えますし、ラッキーなことに、イルカの群にも遭遇できました。イルカたちは、ボートのすぐ側まで来てくれてとても楽しかったです。
ガイドさんは魚の知識が豊富で、サービス精神の溢れた素敵な方でした。説明は英語なので、英語が分かる方が楽しめますが、仮に分からなかったとしても海そのものが美しいので困るということはないと思います。
乗船時間は１時間ほどです。海は穏やかで船は揺れませんでしたが、うつむいて船底のガラスを眺めるので、船に酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲まれた方がいいと思います。集合場所もわかりやすく、青と黄色の旗をつけたボートをすぐに見つけられると思います。
また次回も利用したいと思います！
