All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

I enjoyed this activity with my wife. I remember
fantastic views under the sea, there were beautiful fishes and turtle. We did snorkel during waiting for undersea bicycling. Thank you for giving us great memory.

This was an awesome thing to do with the kids....the underwater shipwrecks etc. were amazing to see.

I tend to get seasick, so I was a bit worried, but there was no problem at all. It was mystical to see the turtles swimming and the schools of fish. Also, the view of the coastal hotels when returning from the sea was lovely. I think it's a sight you don't get to see often!

船酔いするタイプなので、ちょっと心配でしたが全く問題ありませんでした。
亀が泳ぐ姿や魚の群れが見れて神秘的でした。
また、沖から戻る際に見えた海岸ホテル群の景色が素敵です。なかなか見れない景色だと思いますよ！

This was my third experience, so I didn't have the strong impression I had the first time, but my friends who experienced it for the first time seemed to find it fresh and were very happy. They shared that it was a top-class event during our seven-night stay in Hawaii. As the one who invited them on this trip, I felt very pleased about that. Since it was muddy from the rain, the horses were slipping, which seemed to add to the thrill.

私自身は３度目の体験ですので、最初の時の強い印象はありませんが、今回初めて体験した友人夫婦には新鮮であったようでとても喜んでくれました。今回の７泊のハワイでのイベントのトップクラスと感想を伝えてくれました。その事が、今回の旅行を誘った私としては嬉しく思います。雨でぬかるんでいたため、馬が足を滑らせていたため、余計スリルに溢れていたようです。

When we went on the Waikiki Glass Bottom tour in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary, we were greeted very warmly and we felt very welcomed. Although it was raining, we still felt comfortable because of the crew and were offered free drinks. During the boat ride, we saw coral, tropical fish, and even sea turtles! We took lots of pictures of the stunning scenery of Waikiki and the Diamond Head. The crew also explained the history of Waikiki and made the tour more interesting so that every moment was enjoyable. Next time we come to Hawaii, we will definitely be going on the tour again. We highly recommend this great vacation tour for anyone travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.

It was our first time experiencing the glass bottom boat tour. Although it wasn't what I was expecting from the title of the tour, but it was fun. The boat consisted of boxes with glass bottom you can look down to see underneath the boat. During the shallow parts of the water, you can see fishes and of course it's not a guarantee on what or what not you would see. But, wish we would have seen more!

The captain and his partner were friendly and nice. We went during the first tour at 9am, so we basically had the entire boat to roam around with another family. They offer drinks (water, bud light, soda) and restroom on board, which was great!

We were also lucky with the day that we went. It was sunny but during some parts of the tour, the clouds covered the sun, so the breeze was nice. So all in all, it was a fun experience.

This glass bottom boat trip gives one a new view to look at while experiencing a cruise. Not only is the view amazing but you get to see a side of wild life you don't usually get to look at. We got to see a few different types of fish and a number of turtles.
Our captain and his partner were also hugely helpful. Answering all questions and giving us interesting information on the sea and boat life here in Waikiki. But do understand, you can't control wild life, so some days or seasons might be better to go than others. And while what wild life you see may depend on a number of different things, the view is always enjoyable and relaxing.

It was a very valuable experience since it was the first time for the whole family on a submarine. The guide also made jokes in Japanese, so we had a fun time throughout. It was a bit disappointing that there weren't many fish, though.

家族全員が初めての潜水艦だったのでとても貴重な体験ができました、ガイドの方も日本語で冗談を交えて案内してくれたので終始楽しい時間でした、魚があまりいなかったのが少し残念でした。。

Workers there need better customer service the experience was amazing just the workers there could be more friendly. The driver was the only one with a great attitude.

A completely different look at what Hawaii has to offer. Very much worthwhile

was a unique experience going underwater. had a lot of windows to look out at all angles and toured many wrecks and reefs. got to see sharks sea turtles and a large assortment of fish. good value

had a great time, the staff were very friendly and helpful. They had an assortment of drinks for the passengers. great value

The view from the submarine was great. I wish I could have explored the seabed a bit more. The moving boat was rocky, so I was glad I took motion sickness medicine. I was also disappointed that I didn't receive the premium free perks.

潜水艦からの眺めは良かった。もう少し海底散策をしたかったです。移動の船が揺れたので酔い止めを飲んで助かった。またプレミアム無料特典がもらえず残念でした。

Everyone on the boat was sea sick and was vomiting the whole time. The sub scooter was fun, but there are lots of pressure. If you get claustrophobic or sea sick easily I don't recommend this active. We got to see a lot of fishes. The crew member on the other hand are no really nice.

It would have been "a once in a lifetime" opportunity in the Pacific ocean in Hawaii. Unfortunately the three of us anxiously awaiting our turn on the underwater scooters became seasick. Had we known the swells of the ocean, from tropical storm Darby, may have affected us negatively, maybe we could have prepared better. Perhaps somewhere in the confirmation the vendor could have mentioned motion sickness and recommended we take or put on something "just in case" we might be affected. My son made it into the scooter gear but came up because bubbles kept getting in his nose, eyes. Others on the boat did have a great time! We won't go again. We will snorkel next time. It just didn't work out for us.

We were both very satisfied with the underwater trip that we normally wouldn't experience. My child was glued to the window the whole time, watching the ocean floor (laughs).

普段は体験できない海底旅行に親子共々大満足です。
子供は終始窓にへばり付くように海底を眺めていました（笑）

This is my eighth time being taken care of by VELTRA. Every tour has been a hit, and this time's submarine tour was also very satisfying. I signed up for the Japanese guided tour at 10 AM, and it was a great decision! With the earphone guide tour, I believe the guide is the same for the entire itinerary, but I was able to get explanations about the fish swimming right in front of me in real-time. Thanks to that, I didn't miss seeing the sharks napping, the rays gracefully swimming in threes, or the sea turtles gliding by. The weather was on our side, with clear blue skies and calm waves. According to the captain, "Even if the sea is a bit rough, the underwater experience is hardly shaken." Departing from Waikiki Beach meant a short travel time, allowing us plenty of time for activities in the afternoon. I will look for more fun tours to join next year, so thank you in advance!

ＶＥＬＴＲＡさんにお世話になること8回目。
毎回どのツアーもハズレなしでしたが，今回の潜水艦ツアーも大満足。
10時の日本語ガイドツアーを申込みましたが，大正解！
イヤホンガイドツアーだと，きっと全行程共通のガイドだと思いますが，
リアルタイムで目の前を横切るお魚達の説明をしてもらえます。
おかげさまで，昼寝中のサメや３匹で優雅に舞い泳ぐエイや，
ウミガメの遊泳も見逃すことはありませんでした。
お天気も味方してくれて，青空の下，波も穏やかでした。
船長さん曰く，「海上が少々荒れていても，海中は殆ど揺れません。」とのこと。
ワイキキビーチからの出発で所要時間も短く，午後からもタップリ行動できました。
来年もまた楽しいツアーを見つけて参加しますので，よろしくお願いいたします。

I think it would have been amazing... but will not know as we were not able to attend. I need to find a phone number to call to request a refund as I paid a lot of money for 6 of us.

You can swim, snorkel or just enjoy the scenery from the boat while small groups take their turn touring the waters below with the scooters. The crew was very helpful and courteous. Everyone had a great time!

We participated with my brother's family and our parents to find something enjoyable for my 4-year-old niece.

We took a boat to the transfer point for the submarine. Sitting in an outside seat, the boat rocked quite a bit, especially while we were in the bay. The wind helped distract from the motion, but those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

Although the transfer to the submarine was last, it might have actually been the right choice. I had a window all to myself. My parents, who were seated in the middle, mentioned that they had to share two windows with 3 or 4 people, which made it a bit cramped. However, the staff's chatter was quite loud, and while it wasn't bothersome if you didn't understand English, it was a bit annoying when seawater dripped in after the hatch was opened.

There were plenty of fish around the artificial reefs made of blocks, boats, and airplanes. However, they didn't come close to the windows. It turns out that it doesn't quite match the pictures. Still, watching the underwater world while listening to the audio guide was fascinating and enjoyable. My niece didn't listen to the guide, but she seemed to have a good time.

4歳の姪っ子が楽しめるものを、ということで弟家族と両親と参加しました。

潜水艦への乗り換えポイントまで船で行きます。
船外の席に座っていると、かなりの揺れ。特に湾内にいるときの方が揺れました。
船外の席で風に当たっていると気分は紛れますが、乗り物酔いしやすい人は注意が必要かも。

潜水艦への乗り換えが最後になってしまいましたが、これが実は正解だったかも。
船窓を独り占め。真ん中のほうの席にいた両親は、3,4人で２つの船窓だったので隣の人が少し邪魔だったと言っていました。
ただし、暇を持て余したスタッフが話している声が結構大きいのと（英語が分からないとそれほど気になりませんが）、浮上後にハッチを開けた際に海水が少し降ってくるのは我慢です。

ブロックや船、飛行機などの人口漁礁の周りでは魚がいっぱいいました。
ただ、船窓近くには寄って来ませんが。やはり、写真のようにはいかないですね。
それでも音声ガイドを聞きながら見る海の世界は興味深く、楽しいものでした。
姪っ子はガイドは聞いていませんが、それなりに楽しんでいたようです。

Enjoyed the submarine experience with my 3 kids ages 7,12 and 14. All of us had a great time. The short boat ride to and from the dive site was great, with beautiful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Everything was very organized and the staff all seemed genuinely happy to be there. The narrator dude (Justin or Jason...can't remember) was awesome!...funny and knowledgeable. Sad to hear about how global warming is changing what can live and grow in Hawaiian waters and how quickly things are changing. We saw a million colorful fish, a shark and a turtle. Totally worth it!

It's not every day you get to ride in a submarine! Well organised informative staff and really well run. One of our trips highlights especially after it being a spur of the moment thing

My wife and I wanted to do something other than snorkelling and this adventure gave us more than what we asked more, plus a lifetime of memories in the form of great photos and a video. Thank you BOB's aventure.

Even though I spent the whole morning for this activity, I just rode the underwater scooter for 15 min only. Furthermore, I couldn't even enjoy with my wife and son at the same time. So embarrassed and annoyed much. I admit the riding itself is exciting activity but their program was not that sophisticated. I was so much disappointed.

There were only four groups, so we were able to play very smoothly. They applied aroma for motion sickness prevention, and we had unlimited water and chips. There was a proper guide who helped us with feeding the fish, and it was really beautiful; we even got to see turtles, which was great.

4組しかいなくてすごくスムーズに遊べました。
船酔い対策のアロマを塗ってくれたり、お水とポテチは食べ放題でした。
ちゃんと付き添いの方いて餌巻いてくれたり本当に綺麗でカメまで見れてよかったです

We participated in this tour for our honeymoon. My husband can't swim at all, but we searched for marine sports that he could enjoy and signed up for this tour. In the end, there were no problems at all!! My husband says it became his most enjoyable memory in Hawaii.

I noticed many reviews mentioned they didn't know where breakfast was, so we ate beforehand. As the reviews indicated, there was no breakfast provided. The only things mentioned were snacks and water.

There was one woman who spoke Japanese, and she explained everything throughout the tour, which made us feel at ease. We went to a sandbar by boat before using the underwater scooter, and we enjoyed paddling on a standing boat! There were two boats, and with four groups of participants, we took turns having fun! Everyone was able to get on easily.

We spent quite a bit of time at the sandbar, just when everyone started to feel a bit bored! It was a really beautiful sandbar, about knee-deep.

And finally, the underwater scooter!! I thought we would have to wear a wetsuit over our swimsuits, but we just got on the scooter in our swimsuits and dove in. At the moment of entering the helmet part of the scooter, you have to close your eyes and dive into the sea, but there is one diver assigned to each participant, so it's okay. When entering the sea from the boat, the diver supports your body, which is reassuring.

Also, if your phone is in a waterproof case, you can take lots of pictures from inside the helmet! I was worried about the water pressure, but there were no issues at all! The operation of the scooter was simple and easy. The scooter had food attached, and when I held the net with the food, many fish came to eat from my hand!

We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which was amazing. The diver took photos and videos for us. It was about $45 for the photos and videos, and it was a bit cheaper for just the photos. We wrote down two email addresses to receive them later. Payment was possible by card, but there was a small fee.

We didn't bring a card and only had about $30, but when we were sent back to the hotel, we had the driver wait while I went to get the money from our room, and that was no problem. They sent the photos the very next day!

I was very satisfied with the many photos taken of my husband and me riding the scooter surrounded by fish!! For snorkeling, we borrowed the equipment and enjoyed it while the next person took their turn on the underwater scooter. Since there was no diver with the snorkeling, it's better for non-swimmers not to do it.

I'll attach some photos, but the underwater scooter photos were taken from my phone!

新婚旅行で参加させて頂きました。旦那は全く泳げないけど、それでも楽しめるマリンスポーツを探しこのツアーを申し込みました。
結果、全く問題ありませんでした！！旦那はハワイで一番楽しい思い出になったと言っています。
口コミで朝食はどこにあるのかわからなかったという意見が多数あったので事前に食べてから参加しました。口コミ通り、朝食は用意ありませんでした。
説明されたのは、スナック菓子とお水だけです。
女性の日本語が話せる人が1人いて、ツアー中はずっとその人が説明してくれたので安心しました。
水中スクーターの前にボートでサンドバーに行き、立って漕ぐボートを楽しみました！
そのボートは2つあり、参加者は4組いたので交代交代で楽しみました！みんな簡単に乗れてました。
みんなが少し飽きたなーくらい結構な時間をサンドバーで楽しみました！
凄く綺麗なサンドバーで膝上くらいの高さでした。
そしてついに水中スクーター！！
水着の上にウエットスーツを着るのかと思いましたが、水着のままスクーターに乗り潜りました。
スクーターのヘルメット部分に入る瞬間は、目をつむり海に潜らなければならないけれど参加者1人に対し1人のダイバーさんが付くので大丈夫です。船から海に入る時もダイバーさんが体を支えてくれるので安心です。
それと携帯は、水が入らないケースにいれていれば
ヘルメットの中から写真をたくさん撮れました！
水圧とかで変にならないか不安でしたけど全く問題ありませんでした！
スクーターの操作も単純で簡単。
スクーターには餌が付いてて、その餌の網を自分で握ったら自分の手からたくさんの魚が食べに来ました！
運良く海亀もみれたし、最高でした。
ダイバーさんが写真と動画を撮ってくれました。
写真と動画で、たしか45ドル。写真だけだと少し安かったはずです。
メールアドレスを2つ書いて渡し、後日送ってくれるシステムです。カードでも支払い可能でしたが手数料が少しかかったはずです。
私たちは最低限の30ドル程度とカードも持ってきてなかったんですが、帰りホテルに送ってもらうときに運転手に待っていてもらい、部屋に取りに行き渡したら問題なかったです。
写真は次の日すぐ送ってくれました！
旦那と横に並んでスクーターに乗り、魚に囲まれてる写真をたくさん撮って貰えて大満足でした！！
シュノーケルは私たちが水中スクーターを終え、交代で次の人が水中スクーターをしている間に、勝手に道具を借り楽しむスタイルでした。シュノーケルはダイバーさんは付かないので泳げない人はやらない方がいいです。
写真を載せますが水中スクーターの写真は携帯から撮ったものです＼(^o^)／

We did this as part of our anniversary week in Oahu and all I can say is if you are "thinking" of doing this, stop thinking and just DO IT! It's an experience you will never forget and the fact that we got to pet and swim along a sea turtle in the ocean is simply awesome!! The crew was amazing, the water was warm and it's something we'll never forget, the crew made this a very memorable experience.

It was my second time, but it was my family's first.
From the window, you can see the mysterious underwater scenery.
The explanations are thorough (in English) and really get you excited.
Don't miss the moment when bubbles rise up and you quickly surface.
Make sure to have your smartphone ready.
It's even more fun to capture it on video.

僕は二度目でしたが、家族は初めて。
窓からは不思議な海の底の様子がうかがえます。
説明も丁寧（英語）でテンションを上げてくれます。
浮上の際に泡がぶくぶく上がって海面に急浮上するところはお見逃しなく。
スマホの用意を忘れずに。
動画で撮るとなお面白いです。

I'd do this again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny. Personal attention so that I got maximum experience as guides helped us see the turtles when they came around and did everything possible to draw the fish to us. You could tell the crew was experienced and competent.

My nephew & I took this adventure and enjoyed it very much. My nephew said that he would like to do it again next time he goes to Hawaii.
