All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

If you're lucky, you might encounter sea turtles, and on the day of our participation, two sea turtles were swimming around the boat. When we dove into the water, we were able to see them up close. The experience of diving with sea turtles became a wonderful memory. The captain was also kind, and we had a great time. However, even if the weather is good, the boat does sway when you head out to sea. A friend of mine got seasick, so I think it's essential for those considering this to prepare for seasickness. My friend mentioned that hunger and fatigue were also issues, so since the participation is early in the morning, make sure to have breakfast and get enough sleep beforehand.

運が良ければ海亀に会えるということでしたが、参加当日は二頭もの海亀が船の周りを泳いでいて、水中に潜った時もすぐ近くで見ることができました。
海亀と一緒に潜る経験は良い思い出になりました。
船長さんも親切で楽しく過ごせました。
ただ、天気が良くても沖に出ますのでどうしても船が揺れます。友達が船酔いでダウンしたので、検討中の方は船酔い対策は必須だと思います。
空腹と疲労が悪かったと友達が言っていたので、参加が早い時間ですので朝食と早めの睡眠はちゃんととっておきましょう。

The only participant in the tour was Japanese, and since everything from the explanation to the end was in English, they tried very hard to explain, but I couldn't fully understand until the end.

ツアー参加者で日本人が我家のみで、説明から終了までが全て英語だった為に
一生懸命説明などをしてくれていたのですが、最後まで良く理解出来ずに終了してしまいました。

You can ride a underwater scooter and dive into the sea to interact with beautiful fish. The staff is present to take photos for you, and the service is excellent.

水中スクーターに乗って海中に潜り、キレイな魚と触れ合えます。スタッフ立会いで写真も撮ってもらえてサービスも充実してます。

I was nervous until we set sail, but as soon as all eight of us came out of the water, we all exclaimed "Amazing!" The staff guided us to the turtles and took videos and photos for us. The pictures and videos were truly beautiful, and for just $135, they can be sent to the representative's computer for sharing! It makes for a great keepsake. You might want to bring motion sickness medication.

出航するまでは緊張でしたが、８人全員海から上がってくるなり「最高」の一言！
スタッフが亀の所まで誘導してくれたり、ビデオや写真を撮ってくれました。その写真やビデオが本当にきれいで何人でも＄１３５払えば代表者のパソコンに送られ拡散ＯＫ！良い記念になります。
酔い止めは必要かも

I joined the tour because it was advertised as a Japanese-language tour, but the guide's Japanese was quite poor.

Also, depending on your seat, you might not be able to see the fish. It seems that the other side had colorful fish, but on the side I was sitting, I could only see a few horse mackerel and black fish.

Additionally, it was a plan that promised a diving certificate, but I ended up receiving nothing, and the treatment was the same as the regular plan.

I felt quite disappointed given my expectations, so I won't be participating again.

10時は日本語のツアーと書いてあったので参加しましたが、ガイドの日本語がかなり酷いです。

また、席側によって魚が見れない場合があります。
反対側はカラフルな魚がみれていたみたいですが、私が座った側はアジや黒い魚がちょこっと見れただけでした。

また、潜水証明書が貰えるプランでしたが何も貰う事なく終わり、扱いも通常のプランと同じでした。

期待していた分かなり残念な気持ちになったので、もう参加する事は無いです。

You are super close to the fishes under the water and you can see a lot of variety of them and I even saw 4 turtles from a close distance.
The staff are very friendly and gives you good guidance on every step of the activity.
The only drawback is the time underwater was only 15 minutes and when you are which flew by very quickly.

Note: You don't need to know how to swim to do this activity.

I traveled to Hawaii with my aunty and this was on top of our to do list and it didnt dissapoint! We had a fantastic time and said when we go back we would definitely do it again! Beautiful ocean and lovely staff, we saw fish and turtles in their natural habitat....it was so serene thankyou to the friendly staff that ensures our safety and made sure we had a fantastic experience. Mohalo and Aloha

We had a nice time on this cruise. Great way to see fireworks

I was thrilled to explore the mysterious underwater world with my son! I was also happy to see turtles swimming leisurely.

The boat heading to the submarine had to navigate some rough waves, and there were a few people who felt unwell. It was unfortunate to see someone unable to enjoy the submarine experience because they were bent over the whole time.

I recommend that anyone who is prone to motion sickness take some medication before participating.

神秘的な海底の世界に、息子と共に大興奮！のんびりと泳ぐカメも見ることが出来て嬉しかったです(^^)/
沖の潜水艦に向かう船がかなりの荒波を越えて進むので、気分が悪くなっている方がいました。（せっかくの潜水艦の中でもずっと突っ伏したままでお気の毒でした。。）
乗り物酔いの心配がある方は酔い止めを飲んでから参加されるのをおススメします。

The meeting point was within walking distance from the hotel where we were staying, making it easy to get to. Since it finished in half a day, we were able to make good use of the afternoon as well.

集合場所も宿泊していたホテルから徒歩圏内で行きやすかったです。
半日で終わるので午後からの時間も有効利用できてよかったです。

This was so fun. To top it off at the end we got to see 30+ dolphin.

I experienced this with my family of four. We dove to a depth of about 30 meters, and it felt like a different world down there. I was amazed at how the fish moved... The cruise to the submarine, which took about 10 minutes, was also pleasant. However, those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. On the day we went, there were some waves, so our family took motion sickness medication in advance to prepare.

私は、家族4人で体験しました。水深30m程まで潜水しますが、そこはもう別世界。魚は、こんな動きをしていたのかと感心…潜水艦まで10分程のクルーズも気持ち良かったです。ただ、船酔いに弱い方は、要注意。当日私達家族は、少し波立っていたので事前に酔い止め飲んで準備しました。

It was good, The kids loved it. There wasn't very many fish or things to look at.

We loved everything. I am the biggest water and animal lover. The submarine was a great experience for us. Even though the reefs are all gone and they had boats, plans, and different materials placed as artificial reefs it just shows you how important our reefs are for sea life. It is a great learning experience to see the difference. How life is under water now after the way man has destroyed it and the ones who care enough to try to recover a small percent of what it would be if it had been left alone before people destroyed an environment for there own selfish reasons. Before booking I did read reviews of others who experienced the submarine tour before I decided to reserve our tour. Even though a lot of people stated they expected more and only gave it 1 and 2 stars I still decided to take the tour. I read Atlantis used partial of the proceeds to rebuild the reefs. If more people got together and helped rebuild what we all have destroyed then maybe there will be more fish and more variety everytime we come back. People should respect the homes of others, where animals live, and give to it instead of always taking. It was a great experience, it taught us to respect the beautiful nature in our world, to help rebuild, and stop destroying before there is nothing left to experience.

The underwater scooter experience is my second time, but no matter how many times I try it, it never fails to impress. Many fish came close, and a turtle also appeared. My whole family enjoyed it very much, and we look forward to doing it again next time.

水中スクーター体験は、2回目ですが何度体験しても、感動します。魚もたくさん近くに来てくれて、亀も来ました。家族みんなとても楽しめ、次回も再度お願いいたします。

Excellent experience because it was my first time going there n I totally loved it I'm definitely going back...

Such an incredible adventure! Definitely worth the money spent!

FAAAAAABULOUS!! Great, casual way to spend a morning or afternoon. Plenty of snorkeling, splashing, swimming. You can relax on the boat or entertain yourself in the water while you wait for your ride. The people were fun, helpful, and organized. Fish were plentiful. The sea turtle was a special treat.

It was my first time riding a submarine, and I had a lot of fun. The location was close to where I was staying, so I walked there. The staff were very kind to me, even though I arrived early and couldn't speak English. I'm grateful for that. It was probably just a coincidence, but when I participated, about 60% of the participants were Japanese. A person who could speak Japanese guided us, so I didn't need an audio guide in Japanese. I was able to see sea turtles, and it was a very enjoyable experience.

潜水艦に乗るの初めてなので楽しかったです。
場所が滞在場所から近かったので歩いて現地に行きました。
早めに来てしまった英語のできない自分に対してもスタッフさんはとても親切にしていただきました。感謝します。
たまたまでしょうが自分が参加した時は参加者の6割が日本人でした。
日本語ができる方がガイドしてくださり、日本語の音声ガイドが必要ありませんでした。
ウミガメの見ることができたし、とても楽しい経験ができました。

This is a must do in Honolulu! The service was great. They provided pick up and drop off service which really helped. Once you reach their office the staff explains the process in a very simplified way. On board the boat there were refreshments and the staff was very friendly :)

I was able to see sea turtles and small fish up close with the underwater scooter. The stand-up paddleboarding was fun as the whole family could paddle while standing. The staff spoke Japanese, which made us feel at ease while having fun.

水中スクーターではウミガメ・小さな魚達を近くで見ることができました。スタンドアップパドルボードは家族全員立ってこげるようになり、楽しかったです。スタッフの方も日本語が話せる方だったので安心して遊ぶことができました。

Was lots of fun - the divers/guides with us were great. Only negative was that it was a little choppy on the day and my husband ended up getting seasick while waiting for others to complete their turn. This though ended up a positive as it helped with bringing more fish closer to the boat! Next time we would be more prepared and take seasick tablets beforehand. Also I had tried scuba diving in the past and had problems "equalizing", thus could not move far from the diving platform. The underwater scooter experience has helped me overcome my previous fears of underwater adventures. An awesome time was had despite the seasickness.

It was written that snorkeling could be done during the waiting time, and although it was more expensive than other sites without snorkeling, I applied thinking I could snorkel as well. In reality, the explanation was insufficient, and the guide who could somewhat speak Japanese was unfriendly. There were no prior instructions for the underwater scooter, so I ended up not knowing when to snorkel. I would like a refund for the snorkeling fee.

待ち時間にシュノーケリングが出来ると書いてあり、他社サイトのシュノーケリング無しより高かったがシュノーケリングも出来ると思い、申し込みました。
実際は説明も不十分ですし、日本語がなんとなく話せるガイドは感じ悪く、水中スクーターの事前の順番の指示もない為、シュノーケリングをするタイミングがわからいまま、終了しました。
シュノーケリング代分返して欲しいです。

Had a great time! As others have said, lots of wait time but you can spend it sunning or snorkeling. We had read the other reviews and knew to take Dramamine. Many others had not and felt sick. We felt great and would recommend this activity. Bought the photo video combo. Great work - only disappointment was we were missing solo wife pics. Still a great value.

This was a tour that my parents had always wanted to go on. The underwater world was like a different realm, and it became a wonderful memory. The shuttle bus for pickup was also on time and easy to understand, which was great.

ずっと両親が行きたいと思っていたツアーです
海の中は別世界で、とても良い思い出になりました。
お迎えのシャトルバスっも時間通りでしたし、わかりやすくて
良かったです。

From the pier in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel, you can take a boat to board a submarine that is anchored offshore, where you can observe the wreckage of ships and airplanes sunk off Waikiki, as well as the fish and turtles that inhabit them.
There are limited resorts that offer submarine activities, and getting a glimpse of the mysteries of the ocean floor is a rare experience.
Additionally, there is a Japanese audio guide available, so you can enjoy it even if you don't speak English.

Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel前の桟橋から船で移動し、沖合に停泊している潜水艦に乗り込み、ワイキキ沖に沈む船や飛行機の残骸と、それらに住んでいる魚やカメを観察することができます。
潜水艦のアクティビティがあるリゾート地は限られますし、海底の神秘を垣間見ることができるのはなかなかできない体験です。
また、日本語の音声ガイドがありますので、英語が出来なくても楽しめます。

You will wait for the shuttle bus at the Hyatt Regency, which will make about three stops along the way before arriving. The submarine does not have a restroom, but there is a restroom on the moving boat, so you can feel at ease. Under the sea, you will visit several points. The view differs depending on whether you are sitting on the left or right, but when there are sea turtles, they will rotate so that both seats can see them.

ハイアットリージェンシーでシャトルバスを待ち、途中3か所位途中停車してから到着します。
サブマリンにはトイレがありませんが、移動中の船にトイレがあるので安心です。
海底では、いくつかポイントを周遊します。左右の席で見えるモノが違いますが、海ガメがいた際は回転してどちらの席でも見えるようにしてくれました。

Last year during snorkeling at Sandbar, I didn't encounter any honu, but this time with the underwater scooter, I was able to see multiple honu and was very satisfied with the photos and videos taken.

昨年のサンドバーでのシュノーケリング時はホヌに会えませんでしたが今回の水中スクーターでは複数のホヌに会え、写真、ビデオも撮ってもらえて大変満足しました

It was an experience that is hard to come by in Japan, so I participated. I was really lucky to see a sea turtle! The cruise before boarding the submarine was also very pleasant.

日本ではなかなか出来ない体験でしたので、参加しました。
ウミガメを見ることが出来て、本当にラッキーでした！
潜水艦に乗り込むまでのクルーズも気持ちよかったです。

As the title suggests, the beauty of the scenery and the number of marine creatures visible greatly differ depending on where you sit. Inside the submarine, the seating is divided into the right and left rows, and this time, the left row was overwhelmingly better (we were in the right row). However, for us ordinary people who rarely have the chance to explore the ocean, it is undoubtedly a valuable experience. I believe this is one event you should definitely participate in when you come to Hawaii.

タイトルの通り、座る席で景色の美しさや見られる海洋生物の数が大きく異なる。潜水艦の中は右列と左列で分かれており、今回の潜水は圧倒的に左列が良かった（※自分達は右列でした）。ただし、なかなか海の中を冒険する機会がない我々一般人にとっては、貴重な体験となることは間違いない。
是非、ハワイに来た際は参加すべきイベントの１つだと思います。
