All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

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。

The crew on this trip were excellent! We had the whole boat to ourselves. The captain of the boat went out of his way to show us everything we wanted to see. We saw turtles and also saw some dolphins
In the distance. The Crew were very knowledgable and made the experience very worthwhile! The captain knew a lot about the history of the island and talked us through it, throughout the ride. I would recommend this and will recommend this.
The boat ride was excellent! We really enjoyed the trip and this topped it off!
When we saw the dolphins the driver tried to get as close as possible to them before they swam off. The glass bottom allowed is
To see the Bottom of the ocean which was remarkable. The crew were very helpful and made the experience much better!
They pointed out turtles and dolphins, they explained the usual patterns and they gave us advice on what to see around the island and the best spots to visit.

I don't think there are many opportunities to ride on a submarine. The interior was surprisingly spacious, and from a large round window shared by two people, we could see cute fish. We were also able to see two turtles, which are said to bring happiness if spotted. It was a valuable experience.

潜水艦に乗れる機会なんて、なかなかないと思います。
艦内は意外と広く2人で1枚の大きな丸い窓から可愛いお魚や沈没させて魚の棲家にしているようですが、見られると幸せが訪れると言われるカメを2匹も見ることが出来ました。貴重な体験でした。

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.

The underwater scooter that I had been wanting to try was amazing! (^_-)-☆ I received explanations in somewhat hesitant Japanese from the staff, and I wondered if it would be okay, but they were very kind and attentive when it came time to ride the scooter. I was truly impressed by the beautiful sea!! After getting off the scooter, I was able to snorkel, and for $30, you can download photos and videos. It gets very cold when you get back on the boat, so I recommend wearing a thick jacket, and also taking motion sickness medication. The staff worked very hard, but it would be nice if they had a few more smiles. I definitely want to participate again! (*^-^*)

是非やってみたいと思っていた水中スクーター、最高でした(^_-)-☆
スタッフの方のたどたどしい日本語で説明を受け、大丈夫かなと思いましたが、
スクーターに乗る時はちゃんと親切に対応していただきました。
とにかく美しい海に感激しました！！
スクーターから降りた後もシュノーケルが出来、３０ドル払うと写真とビデオがダウンロード
出来ます。
船から上がるととても寒いので、厚手の上着をお勧めします、それと酔い止めも～～
スタッフの方々は一生懸命に対応していらっしゃいましたが、もう少し笑顔があると
いいな～～～
又是非参加したいと思っています(*^-^*)

I participated in an underwater scooter experience with two friends. The ride lasts about 20 minutes, which is plenty of time to enjoy it. I've swum a lot in Hawaii and abroad, but that day had the most beautiful sea. The guide mentioned that the water was clear and warm, making for great conditions. Although it felt a bit chilly due to the wind in November, the water was warm, and we enjoyed the summer sun close to noon. If there's wind, the boat can sway a little, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication before participating. SUP at the sandbar is also fun. You can return to Waikiki by 1 PM, making it a great way to use your morning effectively. Additionally, they take photos underwater and send them via email for $45. The pictures of me playing with the fish and the underwater scooter became wonderful memories. By the way, it's $60 if you want a video included. The equipment is clean, and the staff is friendly, so I highly recommend this company!

友人と3人で水中スクーターをやってみたくて参加しました。
乗っている時間は20分ぐらいですが十分楽しめる時間です。
ハワイや海外でたくさん泳ぎましたが、この日が一番きれいな海でした。
ガイドさんも、濁っていないし、水が暖かいからいいコンディションだと言ってました。
11月という事で風が冷たく感じましたが水は暖かく、お昼近くには常夏の太陽も満喫しました。風があると船も少し揺れるので酔い止めを飲んで参加するといいかもしれないですね。
サンドバーでのSUPも楽しいですよ。
1時にはワイキキに戻れますし、午前中を有効に使うにはおすすめです。
あと、水中で写真を撮影してくれますが、45ドルで写真をメールで送ってくれます。
魚と水中スクーターでたわむれている写真はいい思い出になりました。
ちなみに動画付きだと60ドルです。
装備も清潔ですし、スタッフも親切ですのでこの運営会社はおすすめですよ！

The tour was concerning because the pickup was about 20 minutes late. Once we arrived at the site, we had to wait about 20 minutes to board the boat, but we could take our time with the restrooms and such. The end time for the activity was as scheduled, so perhaps the time allocation was generous...?

Once we boarded the boat, we could see many swimming sea turtles and fish from above, which really boosted our excitement! They also gave us bread, and we could feed the fish while waiting. Water, Lay's chips, and Doritos were all-you-can-eat♪

As for the snorkeling cruise, it was cold until we got in... I had to dive in, and at that moment, it was so cold that I felt like I might have a heart attack... I couldn't take my time because there was a line, and it was panic-inducing, which was the worst. However, once we started, the underwater scenery was beautiful, and they took photos with my camera, creating wonderful memories! I got to touch many fish and even swam with a sea turtle, albeit from a distance♪

However, the waiting time on the boat was long, and by the time we returned, I was pale from seasickness and the cold... It's necessary to have motion sickness medication and, depending on the season, some light warm clothing.

ツアーは、送迎が20分くらい遅れて心配になりました。現地についても20分くらい船に乗るまでひたすら待つ時間がありましたが、トイレ等はゆっくりできました。アクティビティの終了時刻は予定通りだったので、余裕のある時間配分になっているのでしょうか・・・？
舩に乗り込んでからは、泳いでいるウミガメや魚が船の上からもたくさん見えてかなりテンションがあがります！パンもくれて、待っている間餌付けもできました。
水とレイズとドリトスは食べ放題です♪
肝心のシュノーケルクルーズですが、入るまで寒かった。。。一度潜って乗るのですが、その時に寒くて心臓発作を起こしそうでキツかったです。。。後がつまっているのでゆっくりも出来ず、パニックで最悪でした。ただ、乗り始めると海の中はとても綺麗で写真も手持ちのカメラでとってくれて、とてもいい思い出になりました！魚もたくさん触れたし、ウミガメも少し遠くですが一緒に泳げました♪
ただし、船の上での待ち時間も長く船酔いして帰るころには寒いしで青ざめていました。。。酔い止めと、時期によってはちょっとした防寒が必要です。

This was a great experience, the crew was amazing and very knowledgeable!

Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed this adventure... crew and in particular the host were fabulous .... definite must do whilst in Waikiki !!!!

Pick up from hotel was great! Scooter ride was really fun and you get up close to the fish!

I think it's an activity that anyone can easily enjoy underwater, even if they can't swim, since you're just sitting on a scooter. However, it states that your face won't get wet, but when getting off the scooter, you're told to get off in the water, so you end up submerged. For the 4.5 people after the first, they also had to get on the scooter from underwater, so everyone was soaked. Perhaps because there were so many people, the wait time was long, and there was no snorkeling. However, the underwater scenery was beautiful, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once.

スクーターに座っているだけなので、泳げなくても誰でも簡単に水中を楽しめるアクティビティだと思います。ですが、顔が濡れないと記載されていますが、スクーターから降りる際水中で降りろといわれるので、結果水中に潜った形になってしまいます。4.5人目以降の人たちはスクーターに乗る際も、水中から乗る形になっていたので、みんなビショビショでした。人数が多かったせいか、待ち時間が長くシュノーケリングもありませんでした。ですが水中は綺麗だったので一度体験されるといいと思います。

Unfortunately our scheduled Friday night cruise was cancelled due to rough conditions. The staff were fantastic to reschedule a daytime cruise for us on Sunday since we were leaving the next Thursday. The boat crew were very friendly, informative, safe and competent. We managed to see some green sea turtles and view the island scenery from the water. We were able to capture some wonderful photos to remind us of our visit to Oahu.

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!

The included transportation was very satisfying. The price might be a bit high, but if you're going to Hawaii, you should definitely go! It's close to Waikiki, and we had the best time with Atlantis in the morning and shopping in Waikiki in the afternoon.

送迎付きとあり、大変満足のいく内容でした。
値段は、高いかもいらないけど、せっかくハワイ行くなら絶対行くべし❗️
ワイキキからも近いし、午前中にアトランティス、午後からはワイキキでショッピングと最高のひとときでした。

My friend who went to Hawaii with me couldn't swim, but we both wanted to see marine life. While searching for something to do, we came across this underwater scooter! We received an explanation on the boat, then put our faces in the water and hopped onto the scooter! After that, a diver accompanied us the whole way, taking us underwater! The water was clear and visibility was excellent★ Plus, there were so many fish that seemed used to people, swimming right up to us♪ They were so cute, and we even saw a sea turtle, which made for a happy time! We just had to straddle the scooter and gently press the accelerator at our feet (^^♪ They even took videos for us! It costs 3,000 yen, but I think it's worth it! It's so beautiful★ Once our time was up, we had free time. I wanted to swim, so I swam alone, and during that time, they kindly gave me bread to attract the fish! The staff were so nice, and we had a really fun time. I'm glad my friend who couldn't swim was satisfied too!

一緒にハワイに行った友人は、泳ぐことができない友人でしたが、
海の生物に会いたい気持ちは一緒で、何かないか探していたらこの水中スクーターに出会いました！！船の上で説明を受け、海に顔をつけてぼふっと水中スクーターの中に顔を出してすくーたーに跨ります！そうしたらあとはずっと後ろにダイバーさんがついてくれて海中まで連れて行ってくれます！海の水は透明でとっても視界がクリア★しかも魚は人に慣れているのかものすごい量が寄ってきました♪すごくかわいいし、ウミガメも見れたし、幸せな時間でした！私たちはスクーターにまたがり足元のアクセルを軽く踏むだけ(^^♪動画もとってくれます！有料（３０００円）ですが、払う価値あると思います！とってもきれいなんです★自分たちの時間が終わったら、あとは自由時間です。私は泳ぎたかったので一人で泳がせてもらっていましたが、その時も魚が寄ってくるようにパンをくださいました！優しい方々でとっても楽しい時間になり、泳げない友人も満足していたようで良かったです！

The best adventure I had it was simply awesome ..

Great experience awesome photographer reasonable price !!!! It was fun tons of turtles and fish ..

It was my first time diving into the sea on a submarine, and it was interesting. Unlike birdwatching, the fish came close to the window, which was adorable. I couldn't touch them, so as a scuba diver, I found it a bit unsatisfying, but I was impressed that advanced divers could easily do shipwreck dives. The depth was displayed in feet, and from the guide's explanation, I learned that 100 ft is about 30 m. It would have been even better if they had provided a conversion table in the guidebook. The guide's explanations were entertaining, and everyone on board fell for his last joke, thinking a whale had appeared, only to find it was the bottom of the welcoming boat!

潜水艦に乗って海に潜るのは初めてなので面白かったです。
バードウオッチングと違い、魚の方から窓の外に寄ってきてくれて可愛かったです。
手に触れることができないのでスクーバダイバーの私には少し物足りなかったですが、
上級者ダイバーにしかできない沈船ダイブが、いとも簡単にできることに感動しました。
水深はフィート表示で、案内のおじさんの説明で100ftが約30mなのがわかりましたが、
ガイド本に換算表を付けてもらえると、もっと良かったです。
この案内のおじさんの説明が面白く、最後の冗談に船内のみんなが引っ掛かり
クジラが出たと思って歓声を上げたら、迎えの船の船底でしたｗｗｗｗ

I was able to see fish and turtles right in front of me, but I didn't think I would get wet. However, when getting into the scooter, you have to put your face in the water, so it's better for women to be prepared to get a little wet.＾０＾

目の前で魚やカメなど見れましたが、濡れないと思ってけどスクーターに入る際には顔を水につけるので顔は濡れるので女性は少しは濡れてもいい準備をした方がいいですね＾０＾

Engaging staff explained everything thoroughly
Great adventure and an easy way to get below the surface and see the life there

This was so fun. The boat trip and scooter ride were made so great by the 3 divers and the captain. The treated us all so well ....my mother who is 86 accompanied us and she had a great time...her first trip to HI. I cannot express to you how much fun this was. Now we are reliving this with friends and family via the DVD and pictures. I am ready to go again.

Did bobs scooters was fantastic could have booked another day if we weren't leaving the next day great clear water

This time, I planned a trip to Hawaii with my mother (79 years old) to show my appreciation for her. Since my mother loves the ocean, we participated in the "Underwater Scooter BOB Sea Bob Ocean Floor Walk & Snorkel Cruise."

On the day of the tour, we were picked up at a nearby hotel, but the driver only confirmed my name. He drove silently to the next pickup location, which felt a bit lonely since I had imagined a friendly Hawaiian atmosphere. Additionally, when we arrived at the shop, there was no explanation about the tour schedule, and they didn't say anything unless we asked, which left a rather unkind impression.

There were a total of 15 participants, with half of them being Japanese. After a somewhat broken Japanese explanation on how to use the underwater scooter, we boarded the boat and set off. There were three underwater scooters, so we took turns riding them. Since it seemed like I had some time before my turn, I decided to snorkel first. Although it was close to the boat, I had a great time seeing tropical fish swimming up close.

Finally, it was our turn to ride the underwater scooter. Operating the scooter was very easy; we just followed the instructor's hand signals (since we were underwater). I was amazed to see tropical fish gathering around the bait right in front of me.

And at the end, we encountered a Hawaiian turtle! My mother was very happy, and it was a satisfying tour.

今回は親孝行をするために母親（79歳）と私でハワイ旅行を計画。海が大好きな母親にハワイの海が見せたかったので「水中スクーターBOB・シーボブで海底散歩&シュノーケルクルーズ」に参加しました。
当日は近くのホテルでピックアップしてもらいましたが、運転手のお兄さんは私の名前を確認しただけ。無言で次のピックアップ先のホテルに向かって走って行ったので、ハワイアンのフレンドリーな感じを想像していた私にはちょっとさみしく感じました。またお店に到着してからも、ツアーの予定について説明はなく、こちらから聞かないと何も言ってくれなかったのは不親切な印象でした。
今回の参加者は全部で15人。半数が日本人の方でした。
水中スクーターの乗り方についてやや片言⁈の日本語説明があった後に船に乗り込み出発です。
水中スクーターは全部で3台だったので、1人ずつ順番に乗る事になってます。私の順番までは時間がありそうだったので、先にシュノーケルをやる事にしました。船の近くでのシュノーケルでしたが。熱帯の魚達が泳いでいるのを間近に見ることが出来て楽しかったです。
そしていよいよ私達が水中スクーターに乗る番になりました。水中スクーターの操作方法はインストラクターの方の言われる（水中だから手信号）ままに操作するだけなのでとても簡単でした。水中では目の前の餌に群がる熱帯の魚達を間近に見る事が出来て感動しました。
そして最後にはハワイのカメに遭遇！！
母親もたいへん喜んでいて、満足出来るツアーでした。
