All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

We are a young couple, 21 & 20! The staff were the friendliest people we have come across in Hawaii! The experience itself was worth every cent! Fish came right up to us, you can even touch them! Highly recommend!

The highlight of this trip to Hawaii was definitely this experience. The explanations were easy to understand, and it became a wonderful memory. While waiting for our turn to use the scooter, we enjoyed feeding fish from the boat and had the freedom to go snorkeling, making the wait enjoyable. The videos and photos turned out beautifully, creating the best memories.

今回のハワイ旅行の1番の楽しみでした。
説明もわかりやすく、とてもいい思い出になりました。スクーターの順番待ちの間は、ボートから魚にエサをあげたりシュノーケリングが自由に出来たりと、待ち時間も楽しく過ごせました。
動画&写真も綺麗にとれていて最高の思い出となりました。

It's the best! You can easily enjoy it even without scuba gear or if you're a beginner at scuba diving! Large and colorful tropical fish gather around and peck food right from your hand! You absolutely must experience it at least once.

ｽｷｭｳﾊﾞｰの用具無しで､またｽｷｭｳﾊﾞｰの素人でも簡単に楽しめちゃう､最高!!
大きな､そしてｶﾗﾌﾙな熱帯の魚達が群がる様に寄って来て目の前で手から餌を啄むですよ!!
絶対に一度は体験すべし

Holy cow, if you can afford this, DO IT! Up close and personal with the fishes--you can pet them and everything. There is a food thingey attached to each sub scooter, so that's why they are coming right up to you, it's awesome.
Lots of turtles in the water too--we had one swim right next to us! Afterward, when on the boat, several others swam close around us.
The divers were all great guys to work with. Very good at their job, and very nice to everyone. A great crew. They also take photos and video of you with the sea life while you are down there--you can purchase these afterward. Plan on it--$50 for both photos and video. They are great, and you can't get as good with your own camera (at least I don't see how you would).
I also preferred this to snorkeling, because of being deeper in the water, the view is much different, yet there are no worries about breathing or anything--it's the awesomeness of being in a bubble! Absolutely fantastic adventure. Highly recommend.

This fella was awesome! Not only funny but intelligent and insanely fearless! Loved listening to him and his crew. Very amazing people, ask questions, was a terrific time!!

It wasn't exactly as I imagined, with an abundance of always beautiful fish, but the experience of riding in a submarine is something you don't get to do often, so I'm glad I participated. I joined with my 80-year-old mother, and we were able to enjoy it without any issues.

想像していた程、常に綺麗なお魚がいっぱいというわけでは有りませんでしたが、潜水艦に乗るという体験は中々出来る事ではないので、参加して良かったと思います。80歳の母と参加しましたか問題なく楽しめました。

It was my first submarine tour, and the interior wasn't too cramped, plus the windows were large, so we had a great time. My elementary school daughter was also very excited and happy.

They mentioned a commemorative Atlantis Dive Log (dive record) as a gift, but we were just directed to the exit and didn't receive it. I wonder if I should have said something. (I did receive information about Atlantis Submarine, but I wonder if this counts as a boarding memento?)

初めての潜水艦ツアーでしたが、艦内はそれほど狭くもなく窓も大きく楽しく過ごせました。
小学生の娘も大興奮で喜んでいました。

搭乗記念のアトランティス・ダイブログ（潜水記録）をプレゼント!…とありましたが、そのままお帰り口へ案内され、いただけませんでした。
言わないとだめだったんでしょうか。
(アトランティスサブマリンのご案内はもらったのですが、これが搭乗記念になるのかな？)

I think there aren't many opportunities to ride a submarine, even if it's smaller than the underwater world in Hawaii, so I decided to participate. It's great! The kids will enjoy it too! It doesn't take much time either.

ハワイの海底云々より小さくても潜水艦てなかなか乗る機会ないとおもい参加しました。良いですよ！子供達も喜びますし！時間もそんなにかからないので。

Since you're scootering around in a bay, you won't have the beauty of any coral reefs but bread feeding will attract the fish and the experience as a whole is alot of fun. You can snorkel around and if you have an underwater camera like I did, you can take some really fun pictures. There are scuba diving lessons going on in the area as well as the water jet pack session. The captain and the diving crew were fun and helpful. Your safety is the #1 thing on their minds. The water was warm enough and even though we were on a boat with no English speaking people, we all had a good time.

Since all the staff were Japanese, the explanations were easy to understand, and I was able to get on right away, which made me feel safe and enjoy myself. I was also happy that the accompanying staff took many photos when I handed over my digital camera. I had so much fun that I want to choose a longer course next time I come!

全員日本人スタッフさんだったので、説明もわかりやすく、すぐに乗れるようになり、安心して楽しめました。持ってきたデジカメを預けたら、同行スタッフさんがたくさん撮ってくださったのも嬉しかったです。次にまた来れたら、もっと長く乗れるコースにしたい！と思うくらい楽しかったです。

It was much more beautiful to see the fish and turtles swimming up close than just through snorkeling, and I was truly moved. They took beautiful photos and videos for me, and I couldn't help but buy the video, especially since it captured the turtles swimming beautifully for a long time. I also appreciated that they sent the purchased photos and videos via email. The diving guides were all very kind. However, while they could speak some Japanese, there were moments when communication was a bit challenging. There were only two underwater scooters available on one boat, so while waiting, you could go snorkeling, but the timing for getting in and out wasn't very clear, so you had to be careful not to bump into the divers. You could say it was a bit haphazard, or you could say it was free-spirited, but overall, I had a great time. It became a wonderful memory!

魚やカメが間近で泳ぐところを、シュノーケリングで見るよりも何倍もきれいに見れて、感動しました。写真と動画もきれいに撮ってもらい、特に動画にはカメの泳ぐところがきれいに長く映っていたので、思わず買ってしまいました。買った写真と動画は、データでメールに送ってくれるのもありがたかったです。案内のダイバーの方々もみんな親切でした。ただ、日本語がぺらぺらかというとそうではなく、少し意思疎通が難しいところもありました。水中スクーターは1つの船に2つしかないので、待っている間はシュノーケリングをしてもよいのですが、入ったりあがったりするタイミングがはっきりしていないので、自分で気をつけていないとダイバーの人とぶつかりそうになってしまいます。悪くいえば適当、良くいえば自由ですが、全体的にとても楽しかったです。いい思い出になりました！

We changed our whole itinerary just to go and do the sea trek adventure and we were not disappointed. It was one of the most amazing things we have ever done. The crew was friendly, experienced and very professional. They made you feel relaxed which allows you to enjoy. Great time!
Thank you.

The submarine scooter is a must try!! Bring motion sickness pills just in case, I thought I didn't need it but I didn't have any. Doesn't require you to know how to swim, the divers will be with you most of the time and watch you from a distance when you're settled in. Lots of fishes to see. Pictures are taken by the divers and available for purchase sent via email.

My husband and I went out on 9/29/15 ...we have done zip lining. ..a helicopter ride...my husband went parasailing. ...but nothing even slightly compared to the amazing adventure at bobs underwater scooter adventure . I am a big scarey cat while my husband is a dare devil...we both agree this was the best! Not scary except for the unease at first of not knowing what it will be like. Then there you are breathing regularly at the bottom of the ocean! We played with turtles hundred of fish...octopus (the handlerers... that are in scuba gear and accompany you and video your visit under the sea...found the octopus and played with them for us to see and touch) this is not a controlled area it is a spot they choose to stop the boat...so it's all just natural nature! I want to bring my whole family to Hawaii just to come here! GO! DON'T CONSIDER NOT DOING THIS!

Had an awesome adventure! Would highly recommend this excursion!

The underwater scooter allowed us to dive deep into the water, and it was so much fun to see beautiful tropical fish gathering right in front of us. We could also view swimming sea turtles from below, which offered a different kind of enjoyment compared to snorkeling.

I was surprised that the staff took photos and videos for us (which can be downloaded later for a fee online), and they were very attentive, skillfully guiding couples underwater and helping them hold hands.

There was also a female staff member who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. It seemed like there was time for snorkeling as well, but we went by boat to a sandbar in a different location. The sandbar in Kaneohe was indeed amazing.

水中スクーターは水中深く入り、本当に綺麗な海の熱帯魚が目の前にすごく集まって来たのが楽しかったです。泳いでいる水カメも下から眺めることができ、シュノーケリングとは違った楽しさがありました。
びっくりしたのは、スタッフが写真と動画を撮ってくれたのですが（後でネット経由で有料でダウンロードできます）、カップルで参加した場合、二人を水中でうまく誘導し手を繋がせるなどサービス精神に満ちていました。
ちょうど日本語のできる女性スタッフもいて安心でした。シュノーケリングも時間があればできたようですが、私たちはボートで別の場所のサンドバーに行きました。
サンドーは、やはりカネオヘの方がすごいです。

The staff were awesome, casual enough so that everyone felt at ease but professional enough that we both felt safe, heaps of fun, would recommend to everyone.

Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable

a must do experience when visiting Hawaii. excellent staff. have already reccomended this to friends and family.

We've been to Oahu a couples of times and have always done different excursions. By far BOB's underwater scooter was the best one we have ever done! Everything from the pick to the drop off to our hotel was a great experience! Everyone on their team was extremely courteous and friendly. The water scooter itself was such an amazing experience. It was very easy and comfortable to ride the scooters. To be that comfortable and see the beauty of the underwater life was breathe taking. I high recommend not only this excursion but this company of you are looking for a lifetime of amazing memories!

The Hilton Hawaiian Village, Prince Hotel, and Ilikai do not require shuttle service. I was unaware that the boarding for the submarine departs from the pier at the beach near the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

The shuttle was 15 minutes late. It took a long time to pick up customers in downtown, and it took 45 minutes to return to our accommodation (which was about a 5-minute walk from the shuttle bus pickup point).

Yes, the pier was right behind the beach. Although I didn't know, it felt like a waste of precious time on a sleepy morning. Since it was the first tour of the day, all the customers were Japanese, and it was lucky that it was not crowded early in the morning.

When I checked upon arrival, it seemed that there were many Westerners joining later, and it looked quite crowded. The submarine tour was as good as I imagined. The Japanese-speaking staff were of Japanese descent, and it might have been a bit fast for my 5-year-old child. However, it was helpful to have it in Japanese.

Thank you very much.

ヒルトンハワイヤンビレッジ、プリンスホテル、イリカイなどは、送迎は不要です。潜水艦へ向かうボードは、ヒルトンハワイヤンビレッジ付近のビーチの桟橋から出てくるのを知らずでした。
送迎は、15分遅れでした。
で、延々とダウンタウンをお客様を乗せて、45分かかって、滞在先（お迎えのバスの乗場から歩いて5分くらい）に戻ってきました。
そうです。
桟橋は直ぐ裏のビーチでした。
知らなかったとはいえ、眠い朝の貴重な時間がもったいなかったです。
朝一のツアーでしたので、お客様全員が日本人でしたし、朝早いので空いててラッキーでした。
到着したときに確認しましたが、後から参加の方は、欧米人が多く、かなりぎゅうぎゅうのように見受けられました。潜水艦ツアーは想像通り良かったです。日系人の日本語で、5歳の子どもには少し早口だったかも。ですが、日本語で助かりました。
ありがとうございました。

Good time was had by all. If you don't have good sea legs, the captain may allow you to snorkel around the boat weather permitting. Be prepared to wait for others to have their turn, but you can see the fish whilst waiting as they are used to come up for feeding. The team were friendly and well organised (expect to tip at the end), good activity, although it doesn't top scuba diving.

I boarded the submarine expecting an underwater stroll in the waters of Hawaii, but to be honest, I was disappointed. The water was murky, making it hard to see, and my whole family got bored halfway through. Additionally, the commentary in Japanese was repetitive, which eventually made us feel sleepy. The father from the family next to us fell asleep partway through. I wish they had considered different diving spots when planning the tour.

潜水艦に乗ってハワイの海中散歩を期待して乗船しましたが、正直がっかりしました。海中が濁っていてよく見えず、家族全員途中で飽きてしまい、また日本語での解説も同じことの繰り返しで最後は眠気を催しました。隣の家族連れのお父さんは途中から眠ってしまいました。もう少し潜る場所を考えてツアーを企画してほしかったです。

Both my husband and 10 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Although I struggled with motion-sickness (while waiting for our turn to go down), once I was underwater, what an amazing experience that was!! My 10-year old who had to stand (she is just little above 4 feet) didn't mind that at all. She really enjoyed the experience, and begged us to go back again. So we will do this again when we visit Oahu next time. Not far from the shore, but the nature was just magnificent. The way nature and animals peacefully coexist with humans just catalyzed our Hawaii experience, and this adventure was well worth the cost! The staff was also very professional, and knowledgeable. Only if they cautioned us about motion sickness earlier on ;-)

As someone who is not good at swimming, I was nervous until it started, but the instructor explained everything in Japanese, allowing me to have this first experience. It felt like a different world when fish came to eat the bait from my hand and beautiful fish swam right in front of me. Since I participated with my child, we were able to walk along the ocean floor together, which was very considerate. I am thrilled to have had such a wonderful experience.

泳ぎが苦手な私は始まるまでドキドキでしたが、インストラクターの方が日本語でも説明してくれて初体験する事が出来ました。海中で魚が手元の餌を食べに来てくれたり目の前をきれいな魚が群れているのは別世界。親子での参加でしたので、気を利かして三人で並んで海底散歩出来ました。良い体験できて感激です

Our family enjoyed the entire crew and had a fantastic time.

I wanted to try riding a underwater scooter, so after considering various options, I decided to sign up for this tour. However, I was a bit anxious because it was going to be in English. I had seen a Japanese DVD explaining the underwater scooter, and one of the staff members was a fourth-generation Japanese woman, so I felt reassured as I could have normal conversations in Japanese and enjoyed myself.

You can breathe normally while using the underwater scooter, making it easy to enjoy the underwater world. A support diver is nearby to guide you towards the fish and sea turtles, and seeing a sea turtle swimming so close is truly an unknown world!

This experience will change your perspective on the world!

水中スクーターに乗ってみた〜い！と思いいろいろ検討した結果このツアーに参加申込。でも、英語での対応とのことでしたので少し不安がありました。水中スクーターについての説明は日本語のDVDで視れたことと、スタッフの一人は日系4世の女性で、普通の会話は日本語OKでしたので安心して楽しめました。
水中スクーターは普通に呼吸ができるので、手軽に海中の世界を楽しめます。サポートのダイバーが側にいて、魚や海亀のいる方向をガイドしてくれ、手の届く近さで海亀が泳いでいるのは正に未知の世界です！
この体験は世界観が変わりますよー!!

This was great!!! 1st class all the way!!! I recommend these guys hand down!!!

Tight seating. Hard time hearing due to other loud people

A childhood dream, taking a submarine cruise. Recommending others to have and enjoy the exceptional tour and see the ever hidden bed of a ocean and the variety of life. Lovely entertaining staff and great customer care. Our 1st dive had to be cancelled because of strong current. Immediately they offered rescheduling or refund. Great.
