Our kids had a blast, not sure if I would do this if I had older kids / adults, as the views were okay!

Me and my husband who are a bit older felt like this was perfect for us to get to see the water as a diver would!

Good one time experience

Reviewed by: vkmr, 2022/01/17

Great experience viewing aquatic life from submarine. Totally worth to visit once in a lifetime. On downside, finding the checking point was too cumbersome. Do plan to reach well advance in time. Did see lots of fishes, turtles. A bit on the expensive side, but again where else you would see marine life so closely without getting wet.

Fun experience!

Reviewed by: Emily, 2019/08/09

This was a fun experience to be in a submarine! Very professional and a funny captain. I would not expect seeing a ton of sea creatures as this is a very protected environment they have created for this experience.

A great experience for both my granddaughter and myself

Reviewed by: nadine, 2017/12/09

The experience was definitely worth the time and cost. Picture taking left a bit to be desired, problem with reflection through the portals...wished we could have seen more sea life...may have just been the Tim of the year.
The narrative was well done.

Atlantis Submarine Ride

Reviewed by: Sandi N., 2016/12/08

It was beautiful underwater although I expected that we would see more coral reefs and fish. It was great to see the wreckages but I was underwhelmed by it all. I am a SCUBA diver and was expecting a bit more.

Great but not spectacular.

Reviewed by: Alex T. , 2016/11/07

The submarine experience was nice. The inside of the sub was cool and comfortable. The only downside was that I was expecting to see the ocean floor teeming with fishes and corals which was not the case. Instead there were deliberately sunken ships and airplane ruins that served as artificial reefs or the ocean floor would have otherwise been bare. Didn't see any natural corals. But I guess it's not the fault of the tour though their ads were a bit overhyped and misleading with colourful fishes so you would tend to over expect. A fun and unique activity nevertheless for first timers!

Awesome Tour

Reviewed by: Jim, 2015/03/10

I took my family on this excursion and was delighted as everyone was. Tour guide was witty and very informative. Boat ride to sub was added bonus. We were busy keeping up with all of the different fish species passing by our observation ports in the sub!
Sub was quite comfortable. Premium ride was excellent. I highly recommend taking this tour. You won't be disappointed !

It's best to take Premium tour if you want to see. The tour guide was very funny. We enjoued ourselves. We like how colors break down as you descend into ocean floor.

Reviewed by: hb, 2012/02/27

Premium Submarine Tour was very cool, well worth the extra money. Seating was comfortable. Tour guide very informative, easy to understand. My only complaint is we had a couple of smaller kids on the sub, they put on the headphones and sang most of the tour. We were able to see some pretty amazing ocean life, including a very large sea turtle, and a sting ray!
Would recommend for early in your vacation! We did this tour in the afternoon after the Whale watching breakfast cruise. We were also able to move up our reservation 2 hours just by stopping at the tent at the Hawaiiam Hilton, no extra charge!
