During my several visits to Hawaii, this was my first time participating in a submarine tour. I didn't expect to see so many coral reefs and marine life so clearly. Among the various tours and marine sports available in Hawaii, this was by far the most interesting. I wish I had realized it sooner! Next time, I want to bring my family and participate together.
何度かハワイに来たことのある中で、今回始めて潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。
さんご礁や海の生物がこんなにはっきりとたくさん見れるとは思ってませんでした。
ハワイで楽しめるいろいろなツアーやマリンスポーツの中でもだんとつに面白かったです。
もっと早く気づけばよかった!!
今度は家族を連れてきて、一緒に参加したいです。

This tour allows you to truly experience the beautiful ocean of Hawaii. I was especially moved by the many fish around the sunken ship.
Since it was a one-hour tour, it was easy to participate. My friends and I had a great time, and it became a wonderful memory.
I want to join again the next time I go to Hawaii.
ハワイのきれいな海をさらに実感できるツアーです。
特に沈没船の周りにたくさんの魚を見ることができ、とても感動しました。
1時間のツアーなので、手軽に参加できました。
友達ともとても盛り上がって、いい思い出になりました。
次回ハワイに行ったときは、また参加したいです。

The view of the ocean from the submarine was truly magical. I was moved when I saw the beautiful scenery, including coral reefs and schools of fish. It was reassuring to be able to listen to a Japanese guide through the headset, making it easy to participate.
While swimming in the ocean is nice, I was glad to have the experience of seeing the beautiful sea from deeper down. I think this is a must-do tour when visiting Hawaii.
潜水艦からみた海はとても幻想的でした。
とても美しい景色でさんご礁や魚の群れを見たときは感動しました。
ヘッドセットで日本語のガイドを聴くことができるので安心して参加できました。
海で泳ぐのもいいけれど、もっと深いところできれいな海を見る体験ができてよかったです。
ハワイにいったら欠かせないツアーだと思います。

The water was really clear, and I could see very well.
I became so engrossed that I forgot to look out the window and was able to enjoy the fish and coral reefs up close.
The crew was also interesting and kind, making it possible to enjoy the waters of Hawaii.
海の中がほんとにクリアで、とてもよく見ることができました。
途中から夢中になって、窓のぞんざいを忘れるぐらい間近で魚やさんご礁を鑑賞できました。
クルーの皆さんも面白く、親切でハワイの海を楽しむことができました。

It was a very enjoyable submarine tour! I was thrilled to see a pod of dolphins. I was able to observe marine life up close, just like scuba diving. The boarding point was close to Kona and very convenient from our hotel. I would love to participate again.

It was a fun experience. We got to see lots of different fish. Taking pictures is hard though because fish and boat moving, and hard to see when developed because of glass.

This was a pleasant outing and particularly enjoyable for kids. If you think you might get seasick, I would recommend you take a ginger capsule before you go. Looking down into the water can make you a little queezy. Very informative and was helpful to have someone describing what you see.

I don't know how to swim, and no way would I try snorkeling without even knowing how to float, so this was right up my alley. The staff was engaging and funny and knew a lot about the fish that we saw. We floated over several clusters of coral and although I didn't see anything as cool as a dolphin or manta ray, I did see a variety of exotic fish I had never known outside of an aquarium. Sadly, it's a quick 1 hour because you're so focused on looking at the windows that you lose track of time.
I don't recommend taking tons of pictures like someone here suggested, only because the fish move so fast that you'd probably get bad shots anyway and secondly, you really want to enjoy this uninterrupted without a contraption mounted to your face. Maybe take a snapshot of the first reef so you can tell people "I experienced this," then put the camera away for good.

It was definitely a unique experience, and having it depart from the pier in downtown Kona was great. We saw some marine life, though I guess we expected a bit more variety of fish (mostly yellow ones). Guess the fish don't come when it's sub time though! We loved looking at the coral and seeing a whole different world under the surface.
We did buy the CD that was offered for $20 with your picture, thinking it would have a variety of marine life pictures from previous trips, but on first inspection, it doesn't appear to have much. We did get our picture on the CD plus pictures of everyone else on the ride ... Don't think it was worth the $20.
Overall, a great and unique thing to do and I'd definitely recommend it to first-timers and those with kids, but not something I'd do again I don't think.

Overall, it was a fun experience to be in a submarine. We got to see a pod of dolphins, so that was exciting. It's like scuba diving but you don't get wet. Pretty neat. The pier is a walking distance from downtown Kona, so it was very close to our hotel.

The crew was fantastic. A very unique way to see ocean life up close. It was a bit crowded and you have to bend over to see out the windows if you are taller than 5 foot, but you soon forget about that as you look through your window.

I previously rode in a semi-submersible at the Great Barrier Reef, and I have memories of it being tough due to the long boat ride. In contrast, this tour departs from the pier on a small boat and reaches the diving point in about 10 minutes. Once you transfer to the submarine and dive, there’s no more rocking. It’s suitable even for those who are sensitive to motion sickness. This time, my grandparents and children, who couldn’t snorkel, were able to explore the seabed while chatting, and everyone was happy. Along the way, we encountered a sunken ship and schools of fish, and it felt amazing to discover such a paradise so close to land in Hawaii. Additionally, since the participation time is about 120 minutes, we were able to enjoy ourselves before and after, which was great.
以前グレートバリアリーフで半潜水艇に乗ったことがありますが、沖まで長時間船に揺られて辛かった思い出があります。これに対して、このツアーは桟橋から小型船で出発して10分程度で潜水ポイントに到着。そこで潜水艦に移動した後、潜ってしまえば揺れません。乗り物に弱い人でも大丈夫です。今回シュノーケル等ができない、おじいちゃんおばあちゃん、子供と一緒におしゃべりしながら海底探索できて、みんな喜んでくれました。途中、沈没船があったり、魚の群れに遭遇したり、こんな陸の近くにパラダイスがあるなんてハワイってすごい、という感じです。また、参加時間が120分程度なので、その前後もふつ~に遊べてグッドでした。

The excitement of encountering small fish in shallow waters during my first snorkeling experience in Hawaii. The thrill of meeting fish at the bottom of the sea, about 10 meters deep, during a scuba diving experience. This time, it surpassed all of that.
As someone who struggles with equalizing pressure, I found the discomfort during the experience diving slightly overwhelming, and since then, I had stayed away from the ocean floor. This time, I thought of participating in a submarine tour. It exceeded my expectations. In the submarine, I could dive as deep as I wanted without any discomfort and thoroughly enjoy the beautiful, fantastical underwater world. Although it seemed like we were submerged for 30 minutes, I was so captivated that it flew by in no time. Sparkling corals, small fish, some unidentified sea creatures, and even a couple of dolphins! According to the guide, this was rare and lucky.
The town of Kailua-Kona had a relaxed, harbor town vibe that I enjoyed, but more than that, I was completely satisfied with the beautiful, fantastical underwater world of Kailua-Kona.
ハワイでの初めてのスノーケルで浅い水中で小さな魚たちに出会えたときの感動。体験スキューバダイビングで10メートル程度の海の底の魚たちと初めて出会えたときの感動。今回はそれらを上回りました。
耳抜きの苦手な私は、体験ダイビングでは苦しさが感動を若干上回り、以来、海の底とは遠ざかっていました。そして今回思いついたのが潜水艦ツアーへの参加。これは期待以上でした。潜水艦はもちろんどんなに潜っても苦しくなることなく、じっくり美しく幻想的な別世界を楽しむことができました。30分の潜水時間だったようですが、夢中になってしまいあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。きらきら光る珊瑚、小さな魚たち、なにやら不明な海底動物、そして、なんとイルカのカップルにも遭遇しました。ガイドさんによると、これは珍しくラッキーだったようです。
カイルアコナの街も港町という感じでのんびりして良かったのですが、それ以上に、カイルアコナの美しい海底の幻想的な別世界に大満足しました。

I'm glad there weren't many Japanese people around. Oahu is full of Japanese tourists, but it seems there aren't many here. It was my first time on a submarine, and it felt a bit like a man's romance, which was nice. I was quite nervous when we were diving. The sea was calm that day, and I was moved by the various sea creatures I could see underwater.
ほとんど日本人がいなくてよかったです。オアフ島は日本人だらけだけどここまでくるとあまり日本人は
いないようですね。潜水艦って初めてだったんですが、なんかちょっと男のロマンぽくて良かったです。
