All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

This was an incredible experience. This had to have been my favorite excursion that I have ever done in Hawaii. The staff was great and being able to purchase the video and pictures that you can watch over and over was wonderful. This is definitely one activity that I would do again.

After fellowship in Honolulu, my co fellows & I decided to try the Atlantis submarine as our final activtity! All worth it & my daughter who is with us enjoyed the Waikiki underwater. Great to see Waikiki underwater!

I was able to experience the wonderful world of marine blue. I could admire various types of fish and see sea turtles resting on a ship that was sunk for the purpose of creating a reef. I also saw them swimming afterward... The Japanese commentary was witty and added to the fun. I highly recommend it to everyone.

マリーンブルーのすばらしい世界を体験できました。さまざまな種類の魚が鑑賞できまた、魚礁用に沈めた船の上で海がめが休んでいる姿を見ることができました。その後で泳いでいる姿も、、、。日本語の解説もウィットに富み、楽しさ倍増です。皆さんにお勧めします。

Stand-up paddleboarding was more difficult than I expected due to the strong winds. There were three groups with two participants each, but we only had two paddleboards for six people, so I think it would have been better to have one more board.
The underwater scooter was easy to use, and I enjoyed the sea enough. I was very satisfied to see a turtle swimming nearby, hold a starfish, and have many fish come close to me.
When we got back on the boat, many people were exhausted from the cold and seasickness, and although I wanted to go snorkeling, I gave up. If there had been less wind, I think we could have enjoyed it more, but the weather is beyond our control.
I was anxious because I don't understand English, but Judy, who was a fourth-generation guide, was very friendly and kindly explained everything, so there were no issues at all.

スタンドアップパドルは、風が強すぎて、乗るのが思っていたより、難しかったです。2人参加で3組だったのですが、6人に2台のパドルだったので、もう一台あると良いと思いました。
水中スクーターは、耳抜きもすぐに出来て
十分海の中を楽しめました。カメが近くに泳いでいたり、ヒトデを持たせてくれたり、目の前にたくさんの魚が近寄って来てくれて、とても満足です。
船に上がると、皆んな寒さと船酔いで、ぐったりしている人が多く、シュノーケルもしたかったのですが、諦めました。
風が少なければ、もっと楽しめたのでしょうが、天候は仕方ないですね。
英語が分からないので不安でしたが、4世のジュディ？さんがとてもフレンドリーで親切に説明してくれたので、何の不都合もありませんでした。

This is amazing experience, Staff was so nice and fun.
Recommendable for everyone
I would love to do this one again!!

It was my mother's first time in Hawaii. When it comes to Hawaiian experiences, a submarine tour is a must! It was lucky that it was a bit cheaper. My mother seemed very satisfied to experience the essence of Hawaii.

母親にとっては初めてのハワイ。
ハワイらしい体験といえば、潜水艦！!
少しお安くなっていたのはラッキーでした。
母もハワイらしさを体験できて大満足の様子でした。

I participated with my mother, who can't swim. It seems she had heard from my grandmother that the submarine tour in Hawaii was great, so we decided to give it a try. We enjoyed the trolley ride to the pickup point, and the cruise to the submarine had beautiful scenery, which was nice. The submarine was a bit less impressive than I expected; the water looked murky and there weren't many fish. However, we did see a sea turtle, which was enjoyable. It would be better if the price were a little lower.

泳げない母と参加。母が祖母からハワイの潜水艦ツアーが良かったと何度も聞いていたようで、参加してみることにしました。お迎えのトロリーから楽しめて、潜水艦までの船でのクルーズも景色良くてよかったです。潜水艦は期待していたよりかは、水が濁ってみえるのと魚も少なかったかなーという印象でした。でもウミガメもみれたし楽しめました。お値段がもう少し安いといいのだけど。

Last time, I rode on the smaller submarine, so this time I chose the larger one called the Premium Submarine. The size difference is quite significant, and it was impressive when it surfaced. The interior is spacious, and the large windows make it easy to see underwater. Entering involves descending a vertical ladder, which adds a bit of tension. The wreckage of ships and planes is mysterious.

前回一度小さな方の潜水艦に乗ったことがありましたので今回プレミアムサブマリンと言う大きな方を選択しました。大きさもかなり違い浮上して来る時は圧巻でした艦内も広く窓も大きいので水中が見やすいです。入る時は垂直の梯子で降りるので少し緊張感有ります、船や飛行機の残骸は神秘的です。

The scheduled date was canceled due to rough waves and was carried out the next day. I participated this time as a preview, thinking of joining with my grandchildren next time. I heard that the person who participated with me was doing this for the fifth time, and I joined with high expectations, but it turned out to be quite ordinary, which was a bit disappointing. I think it would be great if someone fluent in English could explain. I believe the person explaining should incorporate unique stories to make it even better. I think my grandchildren will have to give up next time due to language barriers.

予約した日程は、波が荒く中止で翌日に実行。次回、孫達と一緒にと思い、下見で今回参加しました。一緒に参加した人は今回で５回目だと聞き、期待度ピークで参加したら、余りにも普通で、期待外れでチョット残念。英語が堪能な方は最高だと思いました。説明する方がユニークな話を交えて最高だと思います。次回孫達は言葉の関係が有り断念せざるを得ないと思っています。

Great experience. We booked quite last minute but they still managed to confirm our booking quite quickly. Although the submarine ride is only 45 minutes, transporting out there was also great for sight seeing. No fluffy colorful coral, but lots of fish and some turtles! Tour guide also gives some history of the sites. Educational and fun experience- felt like discovery channel.

My daughter told me about this tour when I was planing my trip to Hawaii. I booked it through hawaiiactivities.com website and I had no problems. They even called me one day prior to my activity to remind me of my pick up time and location.

The shuttle was there on time to pick me up and during the drive and took us the check-in location. After the safety briefing we started the tour.
The crew was really nice and informative. They are very professional and committed to provided us a unforgettable experience.

While waiting for our turn to go, we spend some time snorkeling and relaxing on the boat, Maunalua Bay is a paradise.

Once underwater you have a guide taking care of you during the whole time. It's so wonderful to see all the marine life coming right next to you, I saw dozens of colorful fishes and a lot of turtles.

The underwater scooter was for sure one of the coolest thing I have ever done.

There were not many fishes as I thought, but I saw two sea turtles.

The cruise before boarding the submarine was enjoyable, and once we were on the submarine, the waves were calm, allowing us to see many fish, which was great. It was brief, but I was lucky to see a sea turtle swimming.

Inside the submarine (especially at the feet), it was cold due to the air conditioning, so I thought it would be good for those who are sensitive to cold to have something to wear.

Next time, I want to take my parents with me.

潜水艦に乗るまでのクルーズも楽しかったですし、
潜水艦に乗ってから、波も穏やかで沢山の魚など見れて良かったです。
一瞬でしたが、ウミガメも泳いでるのがみれてラッキーでした。

潜水艦の中（特に足元）はクーラーで寒かったので、寒がりの人は
何か羽織るものがあれば良いかなっと思いました。

次回は親を連れて行ってあげたいです。

Did this activity 18 March 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed it. All seats have amazing views, informative and fun guide and plenty of one-off photo opportunities. We saw turtles and sting rays along with huge fish and an array of pretty smaller ones. Would be happy to do this activity again! Thank you!

The crew/divers were excellent and professional and friendly as was the Skipper. We had an awesome time, saw beautiful marine life and lots of turtles. A great day!! Thanks again guys!!

I took my family on this excursion and was delighted as everyone was. Tour guide was witty and very informative. Boat ride to sub was added bonus. We were busy keeping up with all of the different fish species passing by our observation ports in the sub!
Sub was quite comfortable. Premium ride was excellent. I highly recommend taking this tour. You won't be disappointed !

It was an amazing time !! Was more than we could have ever hoped for !! We highly recommend this to anyone who comes to hAwaii

Initially, I had a rather casual expectation, but from the very beginning, I was able to experience a lot of surprises and excitement, and I am very satisfied.

最初勝手なイメージで、期待はそこそこだったのですが最初から驚きと
感激が多く味わう事が出来、大変満足しています

It's nice experience especially for those who haven't tried diving. The stuff was very friendly and helpful. Just you need to know that you don't have any control on the scooter. You have to set and enjoy!

Great Experience for all, Would do this one again.
Wish it was a longer dive with more to see but over all, Great...

I had to wait for almost an hour until the others arrived to board the submarine, and the boat was rocking, making me feel sick. The weather was bad, it was cold, and the visibility was almost zero; I couldn't see anything. It was the worst.

潜水艦に乗る移るまであとの人たちが来るまで１時間近く待たされ、船が揺れて気持ち悪くなった。天候も悪く、寒くほとんど透明度がなく、何も見えなかった。最悪。

This is such a great activity especially for the young kids..getting to experience a world under water and seeing all of the beautiful fish.

The level of service, including pick-up and drop-off, was very high. The attention to detail in diving and the commitment to safety made for a very intense experience. It was enjoyable to swim, and above all, safety was prioritized. The fish points were amazing, and at $30, I thought the price was quite reasonable. Lastly, the guide diver explained everything very clearly in Japanese, and we dove continuously for over 60 minutes. Thank you for your hard work. I will participate again, so please take care of the new points until then. Thank you.

迎えから送迎を含み非常に高いレベルでした。
潜水の気配り、安全性のこだわりなど非常に緊迫したひと時でした。
楽しく遊泳　何より安全だと言うことと、写真も商売とは言え魚ポイント
がすばらしく　金額も30ドルと決して高くはなかったと思います。
そして最後に案内のダイバーの方　日本語も非常にわかりよく説明してくださり
60分以上潜りっぱなしでエスコート　ご苦労様でした。
また参加いたしますのでその時まで新しいポイントをよろしくお願いいたします。
ありがとう。。

The pickup bus was quite late. I understand that it's the same for people from other countries, but there was no explanation in English, only in their language, and they couldn't speak Japanese. Inside the submarine, the chatter of those people was loud, and I couldn't enjoy it much. Additionally, the weather conditions were bad, the water was murky, and there were hardly any fish, so honestly, I felt like I wanted a refund. It's disappointing. I hope for a better experience next time.

迎えのバスもずいぶん遅れた。他国の方と同じなのは理解できるが英語ではなく、そちらの言語だけで日本語は話せないのでとのことで説明なし。潜水艦の中もその方たちのおしゃべりの声が大きくてあまり楽しめなかった。重ねて天候の状態が悪く、濁っていて魚もほとんどいなくて正直お金を返してほしい気分だった。残念。次回に期待。

I wanted to make a change the day before, and even though I left a voicemail, there was no response, and the service was terrible. In the end, I was redirected to a different tour and had to participate in that one, and I'm not sure if it was worth what I paid.

前日に変更したいことがあって、
留守番電話を入れておいたのに、
返事がなく、対応が最悪。
結局違うツアーのところに回され、そっちに参加することになり、
支払った内容なのか、ビミョ〜

This time, we participated as a family of six. The weather was nice, and the waves were calm. The waiting time until boarding felt a bit long. Since you wait under the shining sun, I think it's better for women to prepare sun umbrellas or similar items. The snorkeling at Atlantis was very satisfying as we could see various fish. It was truly great to see sea turtles as well. I absolutely recommend this tour.

今回は、家族６名で参加しました。天候もよく、波も穏やかでした。乗船までの待ち時間が多少長く感じられました。燦々と輝く太陽の下で待つので、女性の方は日傘等を準備されたほうがよろしいかと思います。アトランテイスでの海中遊泳は、いろいろな魚が見られ大満足でした。海がめも見る事ができ本当に良かったです。このツアーは絶対お勧めです。

I could clearly see that the staff is committed to safe operations. If you're going to board, it might be better to choose a time in Japanese. I think discussions about fish names and history are better in Japanese than in English. It was interesting to see sea turtles, rays, and sharks under the sunken ship. Unlike an aquarium, you can truly enjoy the depth of the ocean.

安全運行をスタッフが心がけているのが良くわかりました。
搭乗するなら、日本語の時間帯が良いかも。魚の名前や歴史の話など英語よりも日本語がいいと思います。
ウミガメやエイ、沈没船の下にいる鮫など面白かったです。
水族館と違い、奥行きのある海の中が堪能できます。

I signed up for this tour because my mother said she didn't want to wear a swimsuit. I had thought I would see beautiful fish the whole time while diving, so I was disappointed that I could only see them at certain points. The colors were also dull. My family was happy, but I felt disappointed. I rated it as average, balancing my family's satisfaction with my dissatisfaction. There may not be anyone who wants to participate based on my experience, but for those who don't understand English or families with small children, I recommend joining the tour with a Japanese guide.

母が水着を着たくないと言っていたので、水着を着なくていいこのツアーに申し込みました。
潜っている間中、ずっと綺麗な魚が見られると思っていたので、ポイントごとにしか見られなくて残念でした。色も地味でした。家族は喜んでいましたが、私は残念に思いました。
評価は家族の満足と私の不満を平均して普通にしました。
私の体験談で参加したいと思われる方はいらっしゃらないかもしれませんが、英語がわからない方、小さいお子様がいるご家族の方は日本語ガイドの会の乗船をお勧めいたします。

You must do this!!! Most fun crazy safe experience we have ever done! So happy we did it here in Hawaii and especially with all the kind people here!

It was my first time on a submarine, and I participated at the request of my grandson who is in his first year of university. There were many fish around the reef, and there were turtles as well. However, I was hoping to see more colorful fish. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take good photos underwater.

潜水艦は初めて、大学1年の孫の希望で参加しました、漁礁には沢山の魚がいました、亀もいました、ただ、もっとカラフルな魚が見えることを期待していました、海中での写真は上手に撮れなかった、残念。
