All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

I signed up for a submarine tour since my friend couldn't go diving! It was really fun to see sea turtles and rays. Also, since the commentary was in Japanese during the time I booked, there were many Japanese people, and we didn't have any issues with manners. The person giving the commentary was also entertaining!

If I had to mention one thing, I chose the bus transfer from the hotel, but I noticed that one of the staff members, who I think was probably a part-timer, was chatting a lot with another staff member, which caught my attention. I thought, "Well, this is a foreign country, so maybe it's normal," but it was a little concerning. Other than that, I was very satisfied!

友達がダイビング出来ないため潜水艦ならと思い申し込みしました！ウミガメやエイなども見ることができとても楽しかったです。また、申し込んだ時間帯は日本語での解説だったため日本人も多くマナー等で困ることはありませんでした。解説してる人も面白かったです！
ただ一つ言うならばホテルからバスの送迎付きにしたのですが、スタッフの方が多分バイトの子だと思うのですが違うスタッフとお喋りばかりしていたのが気になりました。外国だしこんなもんかなーとは思いましたが、少し気になりました。それ以外はとても満足しました！

Taken on a boat in an incredible blue Pacific ocean bay, after a few minutes the crew makes you feel like chilling with humor and smiles. Then time for the scooter, they make sure you'll see the Marine life from up close, and while you're on the boat, they provide gear to scuba dive with the people in the scooters, food and drinks on the bridge, and pictures at the end. A must do!

Unlike diving, you can easily dive down to 30-40 meters and see the blue sea where sunlight doesn't reach. The sight of the submarine emerging from the ocean is breathtaking. The cruise is enjoyable and feels great, so I recommend it for families.

ダイビングと違って、気軽に30-40mまで潜れて、太陽に光の届かない青い海が見れました。潜水艦が海から飛び出してくるところは圧巻です。クルーズも楽しめて気持ちがいいので、家族連れにはおすすめです。

I would love to do this activity again! It was a unique experience and the crew/divers were very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the money!

White sandy beaches, crystal-clear sea, welcoming turtles, and dolphins jumping next to the boat.
I was satisfied even before entering the water♪

The underwater world was beautiful, with sharks, turtles, and various fish.
I was very satisfied.

白い砂浜、透き通る海、出迎える亀、船の横でジャンプするイルカ
海にはいる前でも満足♪

海の中は綺麗で、サメや亀、いろんな魚がいました
大変満足

I was able to see the underwater world of an unknown realm, and it was very moving. My mother, who is in her 80s, was also very happy. However, it seemed that the ladder to get down into the submarine was steep and scary, but the crew kindly supported us.

未知の世界の海底を観ることが出来、とっても感動しました。80代の母も大変喜んでいました。ただ、潜水艦に降りる時のハシゴが急で怖かったようですが、クルーの方が優しくサポートして下さいました

Great underwater activity, especially for beginners in scuba diving. Extremely easy to do it, extremely awesome while doing it. For experienced guys to scuba diving, this might be boring. For the rest of us this is very cool!! The staff is taking photos of you while being underwater for keeping and sharing these memories forever. Scuba diving is a must to do thing in Hawaii!!

Not many fish the day we went but lots of huge sea turtles The buried wreaks were fun we traveled really close to a lot of interesting underwater features.

We reserved shuttle service. We were waiting at the pick up point from 10min before the pickup time. We couldn't find the shuttle. We were waiting and I called to the office 10min later of pick up time. They said that they yelled out my name, but I didn't hear. They just left. Why not calling to me?
So, I took a taxi to get there with my money. BOB tour was canceld, because of lack of people. So, we joined to another group.
Totally lack of responsibility. I don't trust that they yelled out my name at the pickup point.

This was a fun excursion for the kids. You go on a submarine ride about 115 feet down. The tour guide is very entertaining and makes the time go by very fast! He also points out all the fish you are going to see!!

This was totally awesome and everyone should do it if they get the chance. It was so great because you have a chance to actually look around without worrying about snorkel equipment!!! For me that's a big deal. So much fun!! I highly recommend doing this.

In addition to fish, I was able to see sunken ships and airplanes on the seabed, which made me feel like I was exploring the ocean floor, and it was a lot of fun. I also encountered sea turtles and sharks. It's a shame I didn't get to see any whales! Unlike going into the sea, there's no need to change clothes, so it's easy to participate.

魚以外にも、海底に沈んだ船や飛行機を見ることができ、海底を探検してるような気分でとても楽しかったです。ウミガメやサメにも遭遇することができました。クジラには出会えず残念！海に入るのと違い、着替えたりしなくていいので気軽に参加できていいですね。

Some were apprehensive about diving under the helmet to get into it but after that it's amazing as you get to see fishes and even turtles up close. You also get a fish food sponge to lure scads of fishes to you - just be careful to keep your fingers out of the way, or you may get a nibble! The safety divers guide your scooter and show you where to go (and some take video for sale later). The only possible discomfort may be if you don't equalize the pressure as you dive or ascend - this can be done several ways (such as swallowing or yawning - I couldn't get the "pinch nose and blow" method to work). Otherwise it's a blast. You also get to hang around a bit - on the boat or swimming or snorkeling - while the other groups are on the scooters.

Small children can participate. Since you'll be going down a ladder, it's better to wear pants. I'm satisfied that I could give my child the valuable experience of seeing the beautiful scenery at the bottom of the sea from inside a submarine.

小さな子供も参加できます。はしごを降りたりするので、ズボンで参加した方が良いです。
海の底の綺麗な景色を潜水艦の中から見るという、貴重な経験を子供にさせてあげられて満足です。

Overall, there were no issues.
On the submarine, Japanese was played through headphones, so the children probably didn't mind at all.

For example, if they could understand even simple English like "you can see the submarine when you go up on the deck," it seems they would be fine without the Japanese guide time in the morning.

Of course, the children were very excited about being on a submarine for the first time.

概ね問題無し。
潜水艇ではヘッドフォンで日本語は流れてくるので、子供は全く気にならなかったはず。

例えば、船上に上がると潜水艇が見えるとか、そんな英語さえ判れば、午前中の日本語ガイドタイムで無くても大丈夫そうです。

勿論、初めての潜水艇に子供は大喜びでした。

I had my first experience in a world 30 meters underwater. I was able to see many turtles. Also, while ascending, a whale came to greet us. It was just a moment, but it was thrilling. The guide mentioned that seeing a whale in this area is very lucky! I never expected to see one at this time, making it truly a lucky tour.

海底30Mの世界を初体験。たくさんのカメさんに会うことができました。
又、浮上中になんとクジラさんがご挨拶にやってきました。ほんの一瞬でしたが興奮しました。
説明をしてくれる方がこのあたりでクジラを見るのは大変ラッキーだ！と言っていました。
まさかこの時期に見れるとは思いもよらず正にラッキーなツアーとなりました。

The paddleboarding at the sandbar didn't go well because of the strong wind, but the underwater scooter was great! The diver took some photos for us, which made for a nice memory. Watching the turtles swim gracefully made me feel very calm.

サンドバーでやったパドルボートは風が強くてうまく行かなかったけれど、
水中スクーターはとても良かった！
ダイバーの方が写真も撮ってくれて、いい記念になりました。
亀が優雅に泳いでいて、とても穏やかな気持になれました。

It was a fantastic trip , the 2 tour guides were fantastic and knew what they were talking about , made me feel very comfortable and relaxed , I will definitely be back

awesome experience. This was out first underwater activity and at first i was not confident to get into water.. but, the guide was all was there next to me the whole time. you don't need to know how to swim to do this. Don't miss the snorkel with fish and turtle around you.

The sea from the boat on the way there was very beautiful, and I was able to encounter a sea turtle. Once inside the submarine, I had an experience that was quite unique. I didn't encounter many fish, but I was glad to see the Atlantis seabed.

行くまでの船からの海がとても綺麗で、ウミガメにも出会えました。
潜水艦の中に入ってからはなかなか味わえないような体験をすることができました。
お魚にはあまり出会うことはできませんでしたがアトランティス海底を見ることができて良かったです。

The time spent diving was somewhat long, but the content was poor. The experience was quite lacking. First of all, there was no algae at all, not even a fragment. The diving location was just moving back and forth among artificial reefs, and there were only a few small fish and occasionally some larger ones. The only lively one in there was the guide (who was overacting). They should prioritize increasing the fish population first. It seems that feeding them might not be possible, but there should be some method available.

潜水している時間は、多少長かったが内容は、お粗末である。
あまりにも内容が寂しい。まず、藻が全く無いし欠片さえ見えない。
潜水している場所も、人工の岩礁の中を行き来しているだけで
岩礁の中には大きな魚がたまにと、小さな魚が少しいるだけである。
中で元気なのは、案内している親父さんだけである。（演技し過ぎ）
まずは、魚を増やす事を最優先で考えるべきである。
餌付けなどは、出来ないのではと思えるが、何か方法が有ると思われる。

My child doesn't really like putting their face in the water and was reluctant to try snorkeling, so the submarine experience was truly great! The kids were thrilled. They were so excited to see the fish underwater. With the Japanese headphones, we could understand the explanations as well. It was a wonderful experience.

子供が海に顔をつけるのがあまり好きではなくシュノーケリングも嫌がっていたので潜水艦は本当に良かったです！
子供達も大喜び。海の中にいる魚を見て大興奮。
日本語のヘッドホン付ければ説明も分かります。いい体験が出来ました。

I signed up for the 10 AM tour, so the commentary was in Japanese. The local guide's Japanese explanation was entertaining and easy to understand, with some jokes mixed in. We took a boat to the point where we boarded the submarine, and the second floor of the boat was very pleasant, giving us a nice cruise feeling. It was a bit cold inside the submarine. There were many young groups and families. We were able to see colorful fish and sharks. Unfortunately, I didn't receive a certificate.

10時のツアーに申し込んだので日本語の解説でした。現地の方の日本語の解説は、ジョークも交えて面白おかしく、そしてわかりやすいものでした。潜水艦に乗るポイントまでは、船で行くのですが、船の2階はとても気持ちよく、ちょっとしたクルーズ気分が味わえて良かったです。潜水艦内では、ちょっと寒かったです。若いグループや、ファミリーが多かったです。カラフルな魚やサメも見れました(^ ^)証明書はもらえなかったです。

What a GREAT time! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great way to start my last day of vacation. Highly recommended to do!

The underwater world was not monochrome, but rather a monochromatic blue. I was peering in with all my might, but there weren't many fish. However, the view of Waikiki from the boat was great.

海底はモノクロならぬモノアオのせかいでした
一生懸命のぞいていたけど
魚はなかなかいませんでした
でも船から見たワイキキの眺めは
よかったです

Riding on a submarine was a first-time experience for me. It was great to see the fish at the bottom of the sea and the sunken ship. However, I did feel a bit seasick.

潜水艦に乗った事自体が、初体験でした。
海底の魚達や沈没船を観れた事が、とても良かったです。
ただ、少し船酔してしまいました。

Wauw, this was so nice, beautiful "dive" space on scooter, beautiful fish. My husband (non swimmer) even went with me and very proud of him that he did it :)

I participated with my husband on April 26, just before Golden Week, during the Japanese guide's time. Based on the comments from other participants, I properly took anti-seasickness medication... The boat ride to the submersible was quite rocky. There were also some splashes of water... But I forgot all that in the underwater world. Fortunately, we encountered sea turtles three times. The artificial coral reef was home to many different types of fish, and the American (?) Japanese guide was enjoyable as well.

ゴールデンウィーク前の4月26日に日本語ガイドの時間に主人と参加しました。他の参加者のコメントを参考にきちんと酔止めを服用……潜水艇へ行く迄の船で結構揺れました。水しぶきも少々……そんなことも忘れてしまうくらいの海底の世界。ラッキーなことに海がめに3回出会いました。人工のサンゴ礁には沢山の種類のお魚達に、アメリカ人(?)の日本語ガイドも楽しかったです。

The earphones came with a Japanese guide, so I had no trouble at all!

The staff were very kind, pointing things out to me, and the boat went around to the other side so I could see everything again, so I didn't miss anything!

The submarine experience was good, but there were places where the headphones were available and places where they were not, so I couldn't hear the Japanese translation. The season might have been bad as well, but there were far fewer fish than I had imagined. The windows were dirtier than I expected, and even when I took photos, they lacked clarity.
