Waikiki Submarine Tour - Descend to 100ft, See Shipwrecks & Sunken Airplanes

Cool Excursion

Reviewed by: Pandora

It's best to take Premium tour if you want to see. The tour guide was very funny. We enjoued ourselves. We like how colors break down as you descend into ocean floor.

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Disappointed

Reviewed by: May

You get a quick instruction on how to get in and get out of the scooter, and they teach you important hand signals. I don't know how to swim and never been underwater so I was extremely nervous. But everyone gets their own instructor so if you're freaking out, they're right there to help you. These guys were nice and never push you past your own comfort zone. I actually freaked out going underwater so my instructor brought me back up for a minute, let me calm down and tried it again. I got to see fish and even a few sea turtles swim by it was awesome!

My main complaint is that the guy taking pictures didn't catch any of this. He didn't take pictures until AFTER the fish swam by. So majority of my pictures that I paid $45 for are just of me in the water with no fish in it. What a waste!!

Now this is a warning for those of you who get motion sickness: I took Dramamine an hour before going out to sea and let me tell you that didn't work. While waiting for other people to have their turn, the boat was moving like crazy and I got seasick. Two other people actually got sick as well.

Overall this was a fun activity and I like that they let you snorkel while waiting for others to have their turn. However, I don't recommend this activity if you are prone to motion sickness.

Tip: Bring your own underwater camera!

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

My First Hawaiian Adventure Underwater

Reviewed by: Will

I usually don't do reviews because there wasn't enough "wow" or it's special, but not worth my time to "write" about it: This activity is exceptionally the case for shouting about. Think about how in the world could you go underwater, be AMONG fish, not learn the intricacies of diving, not wear heavy equipment on your back (even if weight is not an issue underwater), or hold your breath for an extended period of time, and still be able to wear your personal prescription glasses. This is a great activity to partake in especially for those curious about underwater activities.
When you get underwater on these vehicles, a personal diver will be assigned to you to make certain that you're doing OK and to mitigate any problems that may arise---even if you decide to cancel the activity. The hosts were all professional and serious about instructing the group on what to expect while in the water, and I felt comfortable and appreciatead their attention to safety. We rode out to the edge of this bay in the south eastern part of Oahu and proceeded with the adventure in the BOBs plus snorkeling around the boat that brought us out there. One of the divers had a camera to take pictures while we were underwater so there will be pictorial memories to look back at and thoughts about what to do in the future to optimize my excursions beneath the ocean. This activity is great!I was underwater for the very first time in my life, and I'm back to write about how great a time I had! If diving is not for you, try this for your shorter "bucket" list!

Satisfaction: As expected. 満足: 期待どおり

Reviewed by: kuma_kuma

I experienced the wonderful opportunity to navigate in a submarine and observe various marine creatures and structures. The guide was also fluent in Japanese, and the explanations were enjoyable with some jokes mixed in. We participated as a family, and my grandchild was excitedly saying, "There's Nemo! Oh, a turtle!"

実際に潜水艦で航行して 海中の様々な生物や構築物を見学出来るすばらしさを体験しました。
案内役の方も日本語が上手で、ジョークを交えた説明で楽しく見学出来ました。
ファミリーで参加したのですが、孫も「ニモがいる。あ・亀だ」などと興奮していました。

I was nervous at first but the staff made it easy to get into the BOB. The divers were excellent and guided me at first and then sent me on my way. I've done other excursions and saw more fish and turtles on this trip. The pictures turned out very professional. I have told my daughter and her fiancé to definitely do this next month on their visit.

Disappointing. 期待はずれ

Reviewed by: パリパリ

I made a reservation for my mother, who cannot swim.
It was very cold inside the submarine.
The air conditioning was too strong, and by the end, my aunt felt unwell.
The visibility in the sea was very poor due to the bad weather until recently.
I was able to see two turtles (honu).
I think that was good.

泳ぐことができない、母のために予約をしました。
潜水艦の中は非常に寒いです。
クーラーが効きすぎて、最後の方は伯母は体調が悪くなってしまったほどです。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I thought I couldn't miss this tour during this season, but the result far exceeded my expectations. Dolphins swam alongside the boat in a line, and I was able to see sea turtles clearly underwater. At the end, a whale even surfaced in the distance and spouted water! Super lucky! The guide who spoke Japanese was really fun, and seeing Waikiki from the sea with the ocean breeze was the best.

初めてのハワイでしたがこの時期のこのツアーははずせないと思って参加しましたが結果はまさにはるかに期待を上回るのものでした。なんとイルカが列をなしてボートの横を泳ぎ、海中ではウミガメもしっかり見れて、最後にはなんとクジラさんが遠くに顔を出して潮をふいてくれました。超ラッキー!日本語のできるガイドさんは本当に楽しく海からみるワイキキも潮風も最高でした。

Submarine experience 潜水艦体験

Reviewed by: アリサン

The submarine itself was battery-operated and hardly made any noise, but due to considerable waves, nearly half of the participants got seasick, and as a result, I also felt a bit unwell and couldn't fully enjoy the underwater experience. I found it a bit unkind that the information didn't mention seasickness much. I would like to try again when the waves are calmer. The transportation and boarding process were very easy to understand.

潜水艦自体はバッテリー駆動で殆ど音が気にならなっかたが、かなりの波浪で参加者の半数近くが船酔いになり、その影響で自分も少し気分が悪くなり、じっくり海中を楽しめなかった。案内には船酔いのことが余り触れて無かったのが少し不親切かな?もう一度波の穏やかな時再度チャレンジしたい。送迎,搭乗とうに関しては、とてもわかりやすかった。

Fun for the whole family! 家族みんなで楽しめる!

Reviewed by: あろは

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but we were able to see many fish, sharks, and sea turtles. I think the water clarity would be even better on a sunny day.

What was lucky was that we spotted a pod of dolphins from the boat on the way to the submarine.

Additionally, the guide's Japanese was very good and impressive. Above all, riding a submarine is a unique experience, and I believe this is a wonderful tour that allows people of all ages to enjoy water leisure in Hawaii. I especially recommend it for small children and elderly people who do not dive or snorkel.

残念ながらお天気が良くはなかったのですが、
たくさんのお魚やサメ、ウミガメも見られました。
天気がよいときっともっと水の透明度もいいのかな と思います。

ラッキーだったのは、潜水艦に行くまでのボートからイルカの群れが見えた事。

あとはガイドの方の日本語もとても上手で素晴らしかったです。
なにより潜水艦に乗るなんてなかなか無い体験ですし、
せっかくのハワイで年齢に関わらずウォーターレジャーを楽しめるとても良いツアーだと思います。
特にダイビングやシュノーケルをしない 小さなお子さんやご年配の方に是非オススメです。

BOB's Hawaii Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Watching Tour

Not as advertised

Reviewed by: allenk

I had to give this a 3 star rating to get it to post. My earlier one star rating wouldn't post and my comments were sent to the tour operator for comment. Each issue that I raised the company flat out lied about. As indicated in a prior review, it was disappointing that the scooters had to be moved around by the divers, they are not in working order to be moved under their own power. It looked like they were broken or missing engine parts. I loved the concept, the crew was fantastic and I would have said it was OK, but given that the event is not as advertised and that Bob's Underwater Scooter Adventure management flat out lied I would then question the safety of the event. False advertising. One star.
