All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

Amazing experience, this company did a great job.

I participated with my children, who are in first and third grade. The pickup vehicle from the hotel to the port was an open bus without windows, which was tough for me since I'm sensitive to exhaust fumes, and it was also very bumpy, making me feel nauseous.

On the way to the submarine by boat from the port, I was excited to see the submarine surfacing. The guide's explanations were in Japanese, which made it easy to focus on searching for fish (those who spoke other languages used headphones).

Depending on where you sit, the view can vary slightly, which can be a pleasant surprise or a bit disappointing. Although it was expensive for our family of four to participate, I’m glad we did. I’m satisfied.

小1と小3の子供を連れて参加。
ホテルから港に向かう時の迎えの車が窓のないオープンなバスで、排気ガスが苦手な私には道中がきつく、さらにすごく揺れたので酔いそうだった。
港から船で潜水艦に向かう際に、これから乗る潜水艦が浮上してくる様を見れて気分が盛り上がる。ガイドの説明が日本語で行われたので、分かりやすく魚探しに集中できた（他言語の方はイヤホン）。
座る席がどこかによって、見える景色も微妙に違うので得したり、悔しくなったり。
家族4人で申し込むと高い値段になるけど、参加して良かった。満足。

Last year, when I came, I couldn't find the time to go, but this time I made it a point to go.

First, we took the cruise to the submarine. This was the issue. My wife, our 4-year-old child, and I participated, but my wife is prone to seasickness. However, we were told it wouldn't be bumpy, so we decided to join.

Once on the boat, feeling a bit too confident, we moved to the deck. It seems that going to the deck made her seasickness worse, and by the time we arrived at the submarine, my wife was down. She returned to the hotel instead of boarding the submarine.

So it was just my child and me in the submarine. Both of us were super excited. We even saw turtles, and time flew by. By the way, I think the submarine was hardly bumpy at all.

I recommend that anyone who is concerned about seasickness should avoid going to the deck.

Personally, I would love to go again. I hear that the one in Hawaii Island allows you to see whales, so I'm curious about that too.

去年、来たときには時間が取れず、乗れなくて、満を持して、乗って来ました。
先ずは潜水艦までのクルーズ。ここが問題でした。妻とこども（4才）の3人での参加で、妻は船酔い持ちですが、揺れないとのことで、参加してみました。
船に乗って、調子にのって、デッキに移動。デッキに行ったことで、船酔いがましたらしく、潜水艦に到着したときには妻はダウン。妻は潜水艦に乗らずに、ホテルにリターンしました。

潜水艦はこどもと、２人。こどもも、僕も大興奮。亀も見れ、時間があっという間に過ぎました。因みに、潜水艦は殆ど、揺れなかったと思います。

船酔いが気になる人はデッキに行かない事をお勧めします。

個人的にはまた、乗りたいです。ハワイ島のは鯨見れるみたいなので、そっちも気になります。

I stayed at the Waikiki Park Hotel, and right in front of the ABC Store, there was a tourist information center with a foreigner. They offered the Atlantis submarine tour for just $40 per person. I had heard that local bookings were cheaper, but I didn't expect it to be this low. The water quality was quite murky, and our next tour was canceled.

My son was happy to be on the boat, and the staff were all very cheerful and wonderful people, but despite that, I still had some dissatisfaction with the tour. If you have a basic level of English or have a translation app or English conversation book on your smartphone, I strongly recommend making a local reservation.

By the way, the souvenir photos that are common at theme parks cost $50. At Dole Plantation, the train photos were $25, so I bought them there.

Wow, I learned a lot. You really can't know until you go and see for yourself.

ワイキキパークホテルに泊まっていましたがすぐそばのABCStore前に外国人が1人いる観光案内所があり、そこではなんと1人40＄でアトランティス潜水艦ツアーが…現地予約は安いと聞いていましたがまさかここまでとは。水質も濁りが酷く、私達の次の便は中止になっていました。
息子は船に乗れて喜んでいましたしスタッフは皆さんとても陽気で明るく素敵な人達でしたが色々差し引いても不満が残るツアーでした。
少し英語ができるレベル、またはスマホで翻訳や英会話本をお持ちなら現地予約を強くオススメします。
因みに、テーマパークによくある記念写真はなんと50＄です。
DolePLANTATIONの列車では25$でしたのでそちらで写真は購入しました。
いやー勉強になりました。
やはり行ってみないとわからないものですね。

I participated with my wife and middle school children. First of all, I was impressed by how clear the water was. From the boat heading to the snorkeling point, I could see the colors of the tropical fish close to the surface. Upon arriving at the point, we first experienced the underwater scooter. A little diving required pinching my nose to equalize, but after that, it was just a matter of turning the throttle on and off. The divers adjusted the direction and distance from the surface as needed, making it easy to operate. Being close to the surface and having the divers nearby made it reassuring to enjoy the underwater experience. We had a net with pieces of bread attached to the front of the scooter, which attracted the fish. I had done experience diving and snorkeling before, but this was the first time I was surrounded by fish so closely that my view was almost blocked. The diver signaled for us to look down, and when I did, I saw a large sea turtle leisurely resting on the seabed. After finishing with the scooter, we soon boarded a rubber boat and moved to a shallow point closer to the open sea. I thought it was better described as shallow rather than a sandbar. When I asked the guide, they said it was around the time between high and low tide, so the water was about knee-deep. The sand was beautiful, and the water above it sparkled, making just walking around enjoyable. It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding, and it was more challenging to balance while standing than I had expected. The two hours flew by. The pleasant breeze, clear water, many beautiful fish, and the sparkling sand in the shallow area created an extraordinary experience that still comes to mind when I close my eyes.

妻と中学生の子供たちと参加しました。まず、水がとても澄んでいて感動。スノーケルポイントに向かうボートから、水面に近づく熱帯魚たちの色がよく見えました。ポイントに着くと、最初に水中スクーターを体験。少し潜ったところで鼻をつまんでの耳抜きが必要でしたが、あとはアクセルのオンオフだけで、ダイバーの方々が進む方向や水面からの距離も都度調整してくれ簡単に操作できました。水面から近く、ダイバーの方が側にいてくれるので安心して水中を楽しめました。パンの切れ端の入ったネットをスクーターの前につけていて、魚達がそこを目指して集まってきます。体験ダイビングやスノーケルをやったことはありましたが、これほど、至近距離で、視界がふさがるくらい魚たちに囲まれたのは初めてでした。ダイバーの方が下を見てと合図してくれ、下を見ると大きなウミガメが海底にのんびり沈んでいました。スクーターを終え、しばらくすると、ボートからゴムボートに乗り込み、沖に近い遠浅のポイントに移動。サンドバーというより遠浅といったほうがいいかと思いました。ガイドさんに聞くと満潮と干潮の間くらいとのことで、水は膝くらいありました。砂がきれいで、その上の水がきらきらしていて歩いているだけで楽しかったです。スタンドアップパドルは初めてで、思っていた以上に立ってバランスをとるのが難しかったです。あっという間の２時間でした。心地いい風、透き通った水、たくさんのきれいな魚達、遠浅で見たきらきら輝く砂。目をつぶると今でも浮かぶ非日常体験でした。

Both my child and I had a great time. As expected, the certificate was also a nice surprise for the kids. The underwater map was very good as well.

親子ともとても楽しめました、やはり、子どもにとっては認定証もうれしかったようです。
海底地図もとてもよかったです。

We had a great time. The staff was friendly, informative and helped settled the nerves of those that needed it. We were able to see sea turtles which was amazing. We saw, touched and fed the tropical fish. They took pictures of us underwater as well which will become a nice memory keepsake. A must do when visiting the island of O'ahu and so worth the money that we spent.

It was fun to sink to the bottom of the sea and see a lot of fish, but it was a bit disappointing that the colors were hard to distinguish and difficult to see.

海底に沈んでいって、たくさんの魚を見ることができて楽しかったが、色が分かりにくく、見えにくかったのが少し残念

Such a wonderful crew! They were so nice. My grandchildren, from 17 to 26, loved the experience and their patience with my inability to get my ears cleared, yet able to get my picture underwater, was awesome! Thanks to a really wonderful crew! Had a great time! Oh, yeah, I can't swim not one stroke and I wasn't afraid, just wish my ears had cooperated!

Wasn't what I expected. It was pretty underwater but you don't maneuver the scooter yourself. It's not motorized or anything. The divers maneuver you by hand. But it was still a memorable experience.

Since I was accompanied by an elderly person and a child, I booked a submarine tour where we could enjoy the underwater scenery without getting wet.

We took a boat from the beach out to sea and approached the submarine to board it. Although the sea was a bit murky due to the storm, we were still able to fully enjoy the underwater views. It seemed that the scenery was better on the left side than on the right side of the submarine. Additionally, while you can listen to explanations in Japanese through headphones inside the submarine, having some understanding of English allows you to enjoy the real-time commentary even more.

老人とコドモが同行していたので、水に濡れることなく海中景色が楽しめる、潜水艦ツアーを申し込みました。

浜辺からボートで沖に出て、沖にいる潜水艦に近づいて乗り込みます。
嵐の後だったので、多少、海が濁っていたようですが、それでも充分に海中の景色を堪能できました。
潜水艦では、右側よりも左側のほうが、景色は良かったようです。
なお、潜水艦内ではヘッドフォンで日本語の説明を聞くことができますが、多少でも英語が分かったほうが、リアルタイムの説明を聞けるので、より楽しめます。

I was filled with excitement as I boarded the car for my first submarine experience.

I felt thrilled even while on the boat from Ala Moana Harbor to the offshore location. When we arrived at the point, the announcement mentioned that the previous submarine was surfacing. Bubbles formed, and in no time, the submarine appeared right in front of us. Finally, it was our turn to board. Due to the steep stairs, we slowly descended backwards into the submarine.

My first impression was that, despite being a premium experience, the windows inside the submarine were quite small. Following the crew's guidance, I took my seat. The dive began, and we descended to the seabed. Since I participated in the Japanese tour, I had no trouble with the language, and the explanations were easy to understand. However, depending on the direction we were seated, the season, and the ocean currents, visibility was not very clear, which was disappointing. Given my high expectations, I felt let down.

初めての潜水艦乗船に、わくわく気分で迎えの車に乗車。

アラモアナハーバーから沖合いまでの船の中でもわくわく。
ポイントに着くと船内放送にて前の潜水艦が浮上して来るとのこと。泡が立ちアッという間に潜水艦が目の前に浮上。
やっと順番が来て乗船開始。急な階段の為、後ろ向きにてゆっくり、ゆっくり下り船内に。
第一印象は、プレミアムの割には、船内の窓が狭い。船員さんの案内に従い着席。
潜水が開始され海底へ。
日本語ツアー参加なので言葉には困らず、案内も分かりやすかったが、座る方向、季節、海流にもよるのだろうか？あまり鮮明に見えず残念。
期待が大きかった分、がっかりしてしまった。

Nice time and wonderful people from start to finish.
Unique and fun experience evan for seniors such as myself. My older brother and I had a great time.

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.

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!

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!

THE BEST WAY FOR US ALL TO SEE THE SAME THING WITHOUT LEARNING TO SCUBA! THE KIDS EVEN GOT SOME VERY NICE PICTURES! COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER!

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。

We had such an awesome time under the water and we could wear our glasses so we could really see the fish clearly!

Wish we could have seen more underwater sites. But its the next best thing to snorkeling for those who haven't done it.

What a fantastic time my daughter and I had snuba diving, all three guys were just great and so informative, this was the best part of our trip.

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.

The best kick ass time in Hawaii, the divers were very attentive. Seeing the ocean from underneath is awesome for this non-swimmer.Younger kids could enjoy this. Bring cash for the pictures as credit cards not accepted.

I used this with family and friends. Everyone was excited about diving at a depth we usually can't reach! We even saw sea turtles and rays (*☻-☻*). It was truly amazing!!!

ファミリー＆友人との団体で利用しました。
普段潜ることができないくらいの深さの潜水にみんな興奮！
なんとウミガメもエイも見れました(*☻-☻*)
感激ひとしおです！！！

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。
先日までの悪天候で海の中の透明度が非常に悪かったです。
亀（ホヌ）を2匹見る事ができました。
それはよかったと思います。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I thought I couldn't miss this tour during this season, but the results far exceeded my expectations. Dolphins swam alongside the boat in a line, and I was able to see sea turtles clearly underwater. To top it all off, a whale 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。

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。

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。

Fantastic experience, was great for me because i cant swim but have always wanted to see deep under water! Saw some amazing fish! Loved the free time snorkelling after the bobs! Got really close to a beautiful turtle! Staff were very friendly and helpful!

It was fun with an F. Everyone was super nice and efficient. The only draw back was that they told me we would be back in waikiki by 1230..1 but we didn't get back til 130. We were rushed to our next event.
