Waikiki Submarine Tour - Descend to 100ft, See Shipwrecks & Sunken Airplanes

An experience I will not soon forget.

Reviewed by: Ayden

The staff were amazing; friendly, funny and full of knowledge. Felt safe the whole time, and the sights themselves were amazing. Seeing sea turtles, sharks, eels, stingrays and schools of fish on sunken ships was amazing. Worth every penny.

They had water and bathrooms on the boat, just not on the sub. But time seems to fly by down there, you’re in a different world.

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発/日本語ナレーション(要事前ダウンロード)>

Just once? 一度だけなら?

Reviewed by: アラフォー夫婦

First of all, I admit my own fault, but when I arrived at the meeting point exactly at 11:00 for the boat that was scheduled to depart at 11:00, it left right in front of me. In the end, I was able to change to the next boat an hour later.

As for the view from the submarine, the water clarity was low, and there were only a few fish; I saw a small shark once or twice at most. My 3-year-old child started to get bored after about 10 minutes, and the crew talked non-stop for an hour, which was quite painful for us since we didn't understand English. The foreign guests on board also seemed to be smiling awkwardly and didn't look like they were having much fun.

As an experience, I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying it once, but when I calmly looked back at the cost, I concluded that I definitely wouldn't do it a second time.

まずこれは自分も悪いんですが、
11時出発の船で11時ピッタリに集合場所に着いたら、目の前で出発されてしまいました。
最終的にはその1時間後の便に変更してもらえましたが。
あとは潜水艦から見える景色も透明度低く魚が少し、一度か二度だけ小さいサメが見えた程度。
3歳の子供は10分ほどで飽き始め、
クルーが1時間ずっと喋りっぱなしで、
英語わからない自分達にはかなり苦痛でした。
乗ってる外国の方も苦笑気味であんまり面白そうな感じではなかったです。
体験としては一度経験する事は止めないですが、冷静に金額見返したらまず2回目は無いよね。という結論に至りました。

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Amazing

Reviewed by: Raoury

Truly an incredible experience; managed to see a pod of dolphins on the way there, and multiple turtles once we got to Turtle Canyon, its basically like swimming in an aquarium. The boat isn't the largest of ones you see going out there but it allowed for us to hang our legs off the side into the water as it sailed out, just totally absorbing the vibes of it all. Great price for an amazing experience.

I booked this activity by myself for my birthday. All I wanted was to see a turtle and it definitely did not disappoint! The crew were amazing and were very helpful when we were snorkeling. The food was good and the experience was amazing. I’ll definitely book again next time I’m on the island! Thank you to the crew for making it the best experience.

Sea Turtle Snorkeling ウミガメシュノーケル

Reviewed by: きらりん

I arrived at the meeting place on time, but there were no tour staff, which made me anxious. Since everything is in English, I recommend joining a tour with Japanese-speaking staff for those who feel uneasy. For those who are okay with just a general understanding, the staff will explain things in an easy-to-understand manner, so please give it a try. I was able to see both sea turtles and wild dolphins perfectly!

集合場所に時間通りに着いたのにツアースタッフがいなくて不安になりました。全て英語なので、不安な方は日本語スタッフのいるツアーに参加される事をお勧めします。何となくでも良い方にはスタッフが分かりやすい言葉て教えてくれるので、参加してみて下さい。ウミガメも野生のイルカもバッチリ見ることができました!

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

Fantastic experience!

Reviewed by: Nolan

Experience was easily worth it for the money. Many other tour options in the area, but this one easily is the best for the price. The included photos & videos to allow you to be in the moment is a fantastic plus that I wish every company did for experiences like this. It allows you to still remember it without having cameras all over the place.I also highly recommend you forgo cage diving & instead do this type, it is a better experience.

The crew was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful & friendly. You can tell they love the experience & getting people to overcome their fears & have a great time. At no time during the whole swim did I feel unsafe. The divers did a great job of keeping everyone together & in a good area, and communicating necessary instructions. They did a remarkable job showcasing how misunderstood sharks are & once you get out swimming with them, it really does become apparent how calm they can be. They’re just as curious of us as we are of them.

I would do this experience again in a heartbeat.

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Beautiful sunny day off Waikiki

Reviewed by: Palmer family

Our family spent the day sailing to Turtle Canyon where we stopped to snorkel in the warm waters off Waikiki. The equipment provided was great (mask, snorkel, flotation device) and our guides were friendly and made sure we had the opportunity to see plenty of wildlife. Our family swam with turtles, but sailing on the catamaran was just as exciting! It was easy to locate our catamaran from the beach and our family managed to get free parking at the Kapiolani park.

Family of four, including one, four-year-old and one two year-old. First time for the kids on a boat and we had a blast. The staff is extremely friendly, courteous, and personable. They made sure my kids were safe and comfortable. The time frames were very appropriate, the staff kept everyone engaged and entertained. Some staff shout outs for Brandon, Jeremy Natalie, Faith, the guy holding the mike (sorry I forgot his name!!) . And yes we saw TONS of dolphins.

2-Hour Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Cruise from Waikiki - Living Ocean Tours

FRIENDLY crew!!

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii

This cruise was so much fun. The crew was really friendly and there were about 3-4 crew in the water with us which made novice snorkelers more comfortable. Overall, loved this cruise.

Tips:
-This boat departs from Kewalo Basin Harbor. The parking lot was crowded so Uber/Lyft or taxi is best.
-Bring sunscreen, towel, change of clothes for after

After we finished the snorkel sail, we headed over to Kakaako to grab lunch!

  • Great day out on the water!

It felt like we were casually scuba diving down to the seabed. I was very satisfied to see various sizes of fish and sea turtles! The water can get murky or hard to see depending on the currents and weather, but I think only those with a broad mindset who can accept that should go.

One Ocean Diving Hawaii Shark Dive on Oahu & Snorkel Tour Experience

Very cool experience!!

Reviewed by: Chris J

Wasn't quite sure what to expect when you hear you're swimming with sharks without a cage. It was a very neat experience. The sharks pretty much stay below you. The crew does a good job of explaining their behavior and what to do around them. The crew was very knowledgable and made the tour exciting. I think the only thing I would change is maybe running the line that everyone hangs onto away from the boat. I felt like at times the waves would bring me back into the boat. It would be nice to just float on the surface away from the boat. But it was still very cool, the crew lets you go out and dive down and "hang" with the sharks for a little bit. Definitely a bucket list item. Would suggest brining your own snorkel gear if you find it hard to fit rentals. Bring a GoPro too! But if you forget, they're taking video and pics of everyone the whole time! Other than that, book it and go have fun!! Well worth the time and money!!

Maui snorkeling experience マウイ シュノーケル体験

Reviewed by: ユカ♡

The snorkeling itself had only a few types of fish, so it felt a bit lacking, but the service on the boat (breakfast, lunch, staff's hospitality, etc.) was very good. After snorkeling, there were many types of alcohol available, which really added to the vacation vibe. We had fun sliding down from the boat, and even the adults joined in! The Japanese staff provided careful consideration, which made me feel comfortable participating, and above all, seeing Japanese people working hard overseas motivated me to do my best after returning home. I wasn't quite sure how the public parking system worked, and I think I ended up paying $6 twice? It would have been better if there was more explanation about that, but I guess my lack of English skills was the reason. Overall, it was a satisfying tour. Thank you for the attentive service!

シュノーケル自体は魚が数種類で、こんなものかなという感じでしたが、ボートの上のサービス(朝ごはん ランチ スタッフの応対など)はとてもよかったです。
シュノーケル後に寄港する際、アルコールもたくさん種類があってバカンス気分を味わえました。
ボートからの滑り台、大人もまじってはしゃげました!
日本人スタッフの方、細かな配慮に安心して参加できましたし、何より海外でがんばってらっしゃる日本人に、帰国後もがんばろうと思えました。
パブリックパーキングのシステムがよく分からず、6$を2回払ったのかな?その辺の説明がもっとわかるとよかったですが、自分の英語力のなさが原因ですね。
トータルで満足できたツアーでした。
丁寧なアテンドありがとうございました!
