All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

I have been to Hawaii many times, but the Atlantis Submarine was a first-time experience for me. There was Japanese audio available, but I didn't feel the need for it because the Japanese spoken by the guide was very interesting. I was very lucky to see both a sea turtle sleeping and swimming at the same time. The windows were smaller than I imagined, so it was definitely the right choice to book the "Premium Plan with Larger Windows."

何回もハワイへ行っていますが、アトランティス潜水艦は初めての体験でした。日本語のオーディオが用意されていましたが、実際にお話する方の日本語が非常に面白かったため、必要性を感じませんでした。
海ガメが寝ているところと実際に泳いでいるところをダブルで見られ、とてもラッキーでした。
窓は想像よりも小さかったため、『窓が大きいプレミアムプラン』を予約していて大正解です。

I was invited to a wedding in Honolulu and the bride and I were looking at a few activities for us to do while there. I saw the video for the BOB and we immediately wanted to do it. We made reservation for the 4 of us. I’m not a swimmer and haven’t been since high school. The staff was so professional and caring. I love their motto of “we treat everyone as non swimmers...” Their patience is great with all participants. Very knowledgeable about their equipment, their staff and the environment. Each staff played their part in our safety and the for the fish and turtles! And the fact they not only take pictures, they give you memorable videos. This was an Amazing experience that we’ve encountered and we’re telling everyone in Chicago about it!! Thank you for sharing this experience! Saturday, July 13, 2019 8:30 am

Words can't explain...the entire experience was awesome from start to finish. From the excursion to the staff, top notch!

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I rode a submarine for the first time. Since I don't usually get to do this, I was really looking forward to it. We saw many creatures like sea turtles and sharks, and the kids were very happy. The cheerful captain spoke in a fun way and provided interesting explanations, making it a very meaningful experience. I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

2回目のハワイで初めて潜水艦に乗りました。
日常では乗ることはないので楽しみにしていましたが、
海がめやサメなど多くの生き物が沢山集まっていて子供たちも
大変喜んでいました。また陽気な見本語をしゃべる船長が
面白おかしく説明してくれてとても有意義な時間を過ごすことが
できました。また機会があれば利用したいです。

Instead of diving, I participated in this submarine tour as a way to explore the ocean. I was able to see sea turtles both on the shuttle to the submarine and inside the submarine! There was also an audio guide in Japanese, and the crew members were very friendly, so I had a great time!

ダイビングができない代わりに海に潜る方法として、この潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。潜水艦までの連絡船、潜水艦の中両方でウミガメを見ることができました！日本語での音声ガイドもあり、クルーの方々も親切だったのでとても楽しめました！

On the third day in Hawaii, I was filled with excitement as I headed to the meeting place! The shuttle bus arrived! The person in charge got off the bus! Their first words were, "This tour is canceled today!?" Seriously! Unbelievable!

ハワイ3日目朝から心ウキウキワクワクさせながら集合場所へ！お迎えのバスが到着！バスから担当者が降りてきた！第一声がこのコースは今日キャンセル⁉️マジ！あり得ない！

I was impressed that we could see fish up close! It was exciting and fun to ride in a submarine on the sea. We participated as a three-generation family, and everyone was very satisfied.

すぐそばで魚が見れるのには感動❗海上で潜水艦に乗るときはドキドキして面白かったです。３世代での参加でしたが皆大満足です

As we boarded the boat from the port and transferred to the real submarine offshore, I felt a mix of half worry and excitement about seeing the underwater world of Hawaii. It was a time when there were hardly any Japanese people around, but the Japanese explanations through the headphones helped me understand well, and I could clearly see the corals and fish on the ocean floor. Fortunately, towards the end, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming as well.

港からボートに乗り、沖で本格的な潜水艦に移るときには心配半分、これからハワイの海底が見れるというドキドキ感が入り混じりました。
日本人が殆どいないかった時間帯でしたがヘッドホンからの日本語説明で
良く理解でき海底のサンゴや魚たちの様子がはっきり見れました。
ラッキーなことに終盤にはウミガメが泳いでいるところも見られましたよ。

My parents booked a Japanese tour for their first trip to Hawaii at 10 AM. When the time came and the shuttle didn't arrive, I called and was put on hold for 4 minutes for confirmation, only to be told that it was unavailable and they wanted to change it to 11 AM. Reluctantly, we changed it to 11 AM, but with the explanation in English, my parents dozed off inside the submarine, not understanding the language. This special trip to Hawaii to honor my parents was ruined. I don't think I will use this service again.

両親が初めてのハワイ旅行で、日本語のツアー10時に予約しました。時間になっても送迎が来ないので電話してたら確認に4分も保留され、しかも利用できないから11時に変更してほしいとのこと。仕方なく、11時にしましたが英語の説明で両親は潜水艦の中で、言葉が分からずウトウト。せっかくの親孝行のハワイ旅行が台無しです。もう利用しないと思います。

I think it will be interesting if you go without too many expectations. It's not often you get the chance to ride a submarine, and the sight of fish gathering around a sunken ship is something you won't see elsewhere. However, if you go with the image of the colorful fish shown on the website, you might be a little disappointed.

期待しすぎずに行けば面白いと思います。
潜水艦に乗る機会はなかなかないですし、 沈没した船などに魚が群がる様子は他では見られない景色だと思います 。
ただ、サイトに載っているような色とりどりの魚たちというイメージで行くと、ちょっとがっかりされるかもしれません。

I didn't have high expectations after reading the reviews, but it was as I anticipated. The tour itself was interesting, but considering the price, even half the cost would still feel a bit high for what it offered. You can see some fish, but there seemed to be fewer than at an aquarium. There weren't many varieties either. I was fortunate to see a sea turtle in the distance. Be careful as I almost got seasick. If you're someone who can't do snorkeling or diving and doesn't mind the price, it might be enjoyable.

クチコミを見て、あまり期待していませんでしたが、想定通りという感じです。
ツアー自体は面白かったのですが 、値段のことを考えると、半額でもちょっと高いかな、というような内容でした。
お魚も見えますが、水族館よりは少ないといった印象。
種類もあまり多くありませんでした。
ウミガメを遠くに見ることができたのは幸いでした 。
船酔いになりそうになったので注意が必要です。
シュノーケルやダイビングなどはできない、という方で、金額を気にされない方であれば、面白いかもしれません。

It took about 20 minutes by boat to reach the submarine, and we enjoyed the journey as well ^ - ^

It's not often that you get to experience being on a submarine, and I participated with seven friends, filled with excitement. The best part was that we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle! ♡

The staff's service was also very good, and I was very satisfied!!

沖まで20分くらいかけて船で、潜水艦の所まで行く道中も楽しめました^ - ^

潜水艦なんて中々乗る経験が出来ないのと、ワクワク感いっぱいで友達7人で参加させていただきましたが運が良い事にウミガメが観れた事が一番嬉しかったです♡

スタッフさんの対応もとても良く満足でした！！

I was expecting it to be a bit clearer, so I was somewhat disappointed, but I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience on a submarine.

もう少し鮮明に見えると、思っていたので少々期待はずれのところがありましたが、初めての潜水艦堪能できました。

It was very beautiful, and I was able to observe the seabed slowly. Along the way, I also saw sea turtles and many fish, which made me satisfied.

The boat to the submarine was very rocky, and I ended up feeling seasick. On the way back, we stopped on the water for about 10 minutes before heading to the port for photo sales, which made me feel sick again.

Overall, I was satisfied with the experience that I wouldn't normally have.

とてもきれいでゆっくりと海底を観察できました。
途中ウミガメやたくさんの魚も見ることができ、満足です。

潜水艦までの船がとても揺れたため船酔いをしてしましました。
帰りの船で写真の販売の為、港へ向けて出発するのに10分前後海上で
停船したため酔いました。

総合的に普段できない体験ができ満足です。

Great crew, fantastic weather, awesome marine life all and all fantastic trip

The lecture is given in Japanese at the beginning, so there are no issues with understanding how to do it.

You can't really move the scooter by yourself, but you can see the fish up close!

I was able to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle!

However, while the scooter part is fine, you need to wait on the boat for about an hour, which can make you quite seasick, haha.

If your turn for the scooter is later, I think the seasickness will go away by then.

Since there is air around your head, you can dive without stress, which is a new sensation.

日本語で最初にレクチャーしてくれるのでやり方は問題ないです。

スクーターはあまり自分で動かせませんが、魚たちを間近で見ることができます！

ウミガメをちらっとみれました！

ただ、スクーター中はいいのですが、船の上で1時間くらい待つ必要があるのでだいぶ酔います笑

スクーターの順番が後ならそこで酔いはなくなると思います。

頭の周りが空気なので、ストレスなくダイビングできるので新感覚です。

This is a must do adventure, and well worth the price. I was impressed and pleasantly surprised at the 1-to-1 ratio of divers to BOBs in the water. They really make sure everyone is comfortable in the BOBs and are doing okay throughout the dive. The 1 hour of free time is basically during the time others are in the BOBs. They provide snorkeling equipment if you want to hop in the water during that time. We had a gray and windy day, so it was quite cool on the boat during the off time. So if your weather is not the best, consider bringing a windbreaker.

It was a course without Japanese guidance (although it seems there is Japanese guidance available through headphones, which I didn't use), but I understand enough English, so it wasn't a problem. Everyone else was foreign, and I was a bit fed up with the number of Japanese people in downtown Honolulu, so it was nice. There was a sense of universality when the Canadian child next to me asked, "Where's Nemo?" Seeing the submarine surface near the boat was exciting. I enjoyed seeing beautiful fish, rays, and turtles (it would have been even better if sharks had appeared), and it was my first experience diving into the ocean from a submarine, which was interesting. It was a smaller submarine with small windows, but I think it was sufficient.

日本語案内ではない時間のコースでしたが（ヘッドフォンで日本語案内はあるようだが使用せず）そこそこ英語がわかるのでまあ問題なし。
自分達以外は外国人で、ホノルルの街中が日本人だらけで少しウンザリしていたのでちょと良かったです。
隣のカナダ人の子供がニモはどこ？という言葉に世界共通感がありました。
沖で船の近くに潜水艦が浮かんでくる様子はウキウキしました。
きれいな魚やエイやカメがみられて楽しかったですし（サメでも出て来たらもっと良かったけど）、潜水艦で海に潜るという体験が初めてのことで面白かったです。
窓の小さい方の潜水艦でしたが十分だと思います。

My husband and I did this excursion together. He loves scuba diving, so he enjoyed it, but not as much as he does diving. I, on the other hand, get claustrophobic diving, so I LOVED this because I didn’t have to have anything touching my face/a mouthpiece. While under water, we saw tons of fish and sea turtles. In addition to scuba scootering, we got to snorkeling while we waited our turn for the scooters, so it was like two excursions in one. The staff were all great too!

You will drive to the tour office, where you will watch an instructional video on how to ride the scooter. After that, you will head out to sea on a boat and ride the scooter. A staff member will accompany you on one scooter. Since the staff are locals and speak very little Japanese, it's recommended to pay close attention to the video to learn how to operate the scooter. In the water, many fish will come to the bait, which is a lot of fun. We even encountered a sea turtle!!!

車でツアーオフィスに行き、そこでスクーターの乗り方の説明ビデオを見ます。その後、船で沖にでてスクーターに乗ります。
一台のスクーターにスタッフが一人ついて乗せてくれます。
スタッフは現地の方で日本語はほとんど通じないため、操作方法はちゃんとビデオを見て覚えておくのがおすすめです。
水中ではエサに魚がたくさんよってきて楽しいです。ウミガメにも出会えましたよ！！！

I was excited to see what kind of big fish I could encounter on my first submarine ride, but unfortunately, I didn't see the large fish I was hoping for. However, I was glad to see what the ocean floor looks like with my own eyes.

生まれて初めての潜水艦に乗船でどんな大きな魚が見れるのか期待をしていたのですが運が悪いのか自分が思ってた大きな魚が見れなかったのが残念でした。でも、海の底がどの様になっているのか見たかったので自分の目で見れた事は良かったです。

It was quite an exciting experience that is not something you can do every day. There were Japanese guides and crew members who spoke Japanese, making it a tour that was understandable even for those who don't speak English.

In my case, there was a temporary interruption due to a malfunction in the submarine's air purifier, but thanks to the courteous support from the staff at Veltra and the local team, I was able to reschedule and continue the experience.

I had a great time. Thank you!

体験事態もなかなかできることじゃないので、わくわくさせてもらいました。そして日本語の案内や、日本語が話せる乗務員さんがいらっしゃって、英語がわからなくても理解できるツアーでした。
自分の場合途中、潜水艦の空気清浄機が故障し、一時中断はしましたが、ベルトラさんや現地の方々の丁寧な対応により、時間変更という形でやり直させていただきました。
とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございます。

This experience was one I have no regrets booking. The divers and guides were wonderful. You always felt safe and were never left alone because you have your own personal diver with you at all times. But you feel at peace and just immerse yourself with the wonders of life underwater. They provide you with all the equipment you need even snorkel gear for your free time! Would highly recommend this activity!

I had a vague image of it and didn't have high expectations, but experiencing it in reality was truly moving. Riding in a submarine was also a valuable experience, and above all, I was able to experience the clear blue seabed as if I were diving myself. I'm glad I participated. You can also see sea turtles!

何となくイメージも出来るし、そこまで期待していませんでしたが、
実際に体験すると感動モノでした。
潜水艦に乗る経験も価値あるものでしたし、何よりも青く澄んだ海底を
まるで自分が潜っているみたいに体験でき、参加してよかったです。
ウミガメも見れますよ！！

The crew was very friendly and they provided all the instructions when we are on board. They provided snacks and water. For each scooter they had their own person to guide them. We had a very good time

You will travel to the submarine by a larger ferry from the pier and board the submarine that has surfaced. The journey to the submarine feels like a cruise with a view of Diamond Head. The boat may sway a bit, so those prone to seasickness should be cautious.

Inside the submarine, there is a decent amount of space, and we were able to enjoy observing the underwater fish and sea turtles. As we navigate between the reefs, you can see many fish. Fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles.

It was a very enjoyable tour.

潜水艦までは桟橋から大き目のフェリーで移動し，浮上してきた潜水艦に搭乗します．
潜水艦までの移動もダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらクルージングといった雰囲気です．少々船が揺れますので船酔いに弱い方は注意してください．
潜水艦内はそこそこ余裕もあり，楽しく水中の魚やウミガメを観察することができました．
漁礁の間を縫うように進むため，たくさんの魚をみることができます．
運よく自分たちはウミガメを見ることができました．
非常に楽しいツアーでした．

You can see airplanes sunk deep on the ocean floor, making it truly an adventure. If you're lucky, you might also spot a large sea turtle swimming gracefully next to the submarine. Before diving in the submarine, you'll travel by boat, and I think the views from there are also very nice. If you mainly want to enjoy the fish, consider choosing a different tour, such as snorkeling.

深く海底に沈んでいる飛行機なども見れてまさにアドベンチャー。運が良ければ大きなウミガメが潜水艦の横を悠々と泳ぐ姿も見れます。潜水艦で潜る前に船で移動しますが、そこからの景色もとても良いと思います。なお、お魚をメインで楽しみたい方は、シュノーケルなど別なツアーにしましょう。

This is my third time in Hawaii, but it was my first time participating in this tour. Since it included a Japanese-speaking guide, I was a bit worried about what it would be like, but the tour guide turned out to be one of the crew members and was very good at Japanese. They made the experience enjoyable with jokes and a fun atmosphere. The guide provided thorough explanations about the types of fish and the sunken ship, and I was able to encounter turtles, sharks, and manta rays, which made me very satisfied.

ハワイへは、3回目になるのですが、初めてこのツアーに参加しました。日本語ガイド付きということもあり、どんな感じだろー??と心配しながら参加しましたが、ツアーガイドさんが、なんとクルーの1人でとても、日本語が上手でジョークも交えながらとても楽しく過ごせました。魚の種類や沈んでいる船の説明もしっかりしてくれて、カメやサメ、マンタ??にも遭遇できて、とても満足しています。

The guides were great and it was a casual relaxing boat ride with pretty views of Diamond Head and Waikiki. Didn’t get to see much but it was nice to be out on the water.

Diving down to 100 feet, we could see the sunken ship and artificial coral reefs. Around them, many fish, sharks, and turtles swam gracefully. It seemed like the kids really enjoyed this first-time experience.

100フィートまで潜水すると、沈められた船や人工の珊瑚礁が見えました。そのまわりに沢山の魚やサメ、亀が優雅に泳ぐのが見えました。初めての体験に子供達も楽しめたようです。
