All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

First, they take photos for you, and you can purchase them before disembarking at the end. All the photos are beautifully edited, so we bought the entire set.

You can have the best experience without getting wet or dirty. We saw a lot of beautiful fish.

It was also fun to see the submarine coming up to the surface for the first time!

We didn't specifically download the Japanese audio guide, but we were busy enjoying the underwater scenery, so it was fine without the audio guidance.

最初に写真を撮影してくれるのですが、最後下船前に購入可能です。どの写真もとても素敵に加工してくれているので、うちは全セットで購入しました。


水に濡れたり汚れる事もなく、最高の体験が出来ます。沢山綺麗な魚が見られました。　　

潜水艦が水面に上がってくる姿も初めて見たので楽しかったです！

日本語音声ガイドはうちは特にダウンロードはしませんでしたが、
海中の景色を見るのに忙しく、特に音声案内は無くても大丈夫でした。

I boarded the ship after a long time. The always courteous service makes sightseeing enjoyable. This time, I was able to observe sharks, sea turtles, rays, and many other fish, which left me very satisfied. It's rare to encounter a situation as perfect as this, but I think a leisurely stroll underwater is enjoyable, so if you have the time, I definitely think it's worth participating.

久しぶりに乗船しました。いつも丁寧な対応で楽しく観光出来ます、今回はシャーク、ウミガメ、エイ、他多くの魚を観察することが出来非常に満足でした。今回の様な完璧と言える場面にはなかなか遭遇しませんが、ゆっくりと海中散歩は楽しいと思いますので時間合えば是非参加してみる価値はあると思います。

I participated with my elementary school child. There is a reception at the Hilton Hawaiian Village beach, so when we went there, we were told to head to the boat dock at the end of the pier. It was close, and since that was the only option, it was easy to find our way.

There were about 30 participants in the tour at the same time. First, we took a boat out to sea and then transferred to a submarine. We were blessed with good weather, and the scenery during the boat ride was very beautiful and enjoyable.

The submarine experience was relatively monotonous, but I was satisfied because we were able to see sharks and rays.

小学生の子供と二人で参加しました。
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのビーチに受付があるのでそこへ行くと、桟橋の先の船乗り場に行くように言われました。近いし、それしかないので、迷いようもなく簡単でした。
ツアーは、同じ時間帯に、30人ぐらいかなと思いますが、参加者がいました。まず船で沖合に行き、潜水艦に乗り換えました。お天気に恵まれて、船での移動も景色がとても良くて楽しかったです。
潜水艦の方は割と単調で、でもサメやエイも見れたので満足です。

Good things:
1. Surprisingly, the inside of the submarine was spacious.
2. We properly went out to sea and boarded the submarine.
3. Was the submarine moving? Was it being pulled by something? In any case, it moved gracefully.
4. I saw a turtle, which really felt like Hawaii.
5. The fish were beautiful to see.
6. The crew was kind.

Disappointing things:
1. I thought there would be Japanese guidance, but there was none at all...
2. Did I need to install Japanese? I forgot to do that...
3. The meeting point was hard to find.
4. When there are a lot of people inside the submarine, it's difficult to peek out the windows.
5. I wish there were a few more attractions.
6. It would have been more fun if we could see a bit more fish.
7. The price they asked for the final photo was unusually high.

良かったこと

とにかく優雅に動いた
④亀が見れてハワイって感じがした
⑤魚を見れて綺麗だった
⑥乗組員が親切
残業なこと
①日本語案内だっと思ったが、全く日本語なし…
②日本語インストール必要だった？インストールするのを忘れた…
③待ち合わせ場所がわかりづらい
④潜水艦の中に大人数いると窓を覗くのが大変
⑤もう少しアトラクションがほしい
⑥もうちょっと魚が見れてたら楽しいなぁ
⑦最後に写真を請求されたのが異常に高い

The inside of the submarine was clean, and it was nice to see the ocean clearly through the windows. However, I only saw small fish and didn't encounter any large or unusual fish, or turtles at all. This is left to nature, so it's certainly not the fault of the tour, but it was disappointing. I wouldn't mind if the price were higher; I would like to be taken to a place where I can see various tropical fish and sharks.

潜水艦の中はきれいで窓からは海の様子がはっきり見えてよかったのですが、小さい魚ばかりで大きい魚や珍しい魚、亀などは全然みることはできませんでした。これは自然任せなので、決してこのツアーのせいではないのですが残念でした。料金は高くなっても構わないので、色々な熱帯魚やサメなどが見れる場所に連れて行って欲しいと思います。

The journey to get there and the actual submarine experience were both valuable and incredibly fun. The explanations were mostly in English. I was able to save the Japanese audio data in advance, but I think it would be more enjoyable to listen to the live English explanations on-site.

行くまでの道中も実際の潜水艦も貴重な体験でとっても楽しかったです。基本的には英語での解説でした。事前に日本語音声データを保存できましたが聴きながらではなくその場の英語の解説がより楽しめると思います。

Snorkeling and scuba diving can be quite challenging, so I participated in a submarine tour where I could easily see the fish underwater. The water was very clear, and I could see the fish gathering around the reefs well. It was a highly satisfying tour.

シュノーケリングやスキューバダイビングはハードルが高いので、気軽に海中の魚を見ることができる潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。海水の透明度が高く漁礁に集まる魚が良く見え、満足感の高いツアーでした。

Great tour guide, was funny and knowledgeable. Only problem was that the waters were murky from the waves at the time so weren’t able to see anything through the glass but we did see a turtle in the water. Was nice to be out on the boat.

The submarine was really fun! The window views were a bitf oggy the day we went, but to be underwater was cool all around.

I participated alone, and this tour is definitely worth joining. It's about a 2-hour tour, but you can see a variety of fish and turtles up close through the glass, and the time passes so quickly because the content is so rich. From the dock, you board a boat and then switch to a submarine in the middle of the sea, which was an exciting experience climbing in and out of the submarine via a ladder. I had prepared a Japanese audio guide in advance, but I was too busy observing the mysterious underwater scenery in front of me to listen. Many participants were families, and the children were delighted. You can have a great time even if you participate alone.

ひとりで参加しました　このツアーは参加する価値大です　約2時間のツアーですが多品種の魚や亀をガラス越しまじかで見ることができ時間はあっという間に過ぎてしまうくらい内容が濃いツアーです　船着き場から船に乗り途中の海上で船から潜水艦に乗り換え潜水艦内に梯子で出入りする体験もわくわく感があって楽しかったです　録音する日本語ガイドも事前に用意しておきましたが
目の前に映る神秘的な海底の様子を観察することに忙しく聴くことはありませんでした　参加者は家族連れが多く子供達は喜んでいました　ひとりで参加しても十分楽しめます

It was a bit murky in the afternoon, but I was able to see fish clearly at certain points, and although from a distance, I also saw a turtle, so I was satisfied. I didn't use the Japanese guide because I wasn't sure when to listen to it. However, I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed fully without the staff guide or the Japanese guide if you love the ocean and fish.

午後からの出向で少し濁っていましたが、ポイントポイントではしっかりと魚を見ることができたし、遠目でしたが亀も見れたので満足です。
日本語ガイドは聴くタイミングがよくわからなかったので使いませんでした。
でも、海や魚が好きならスタッフのガイドも日本語ガイドも無くても十分に楽しめるツアーだと思います。

From inside the submarine, you can see dolphins and other marine life. I thought it would be similar to an aquarium, but the closeness of seeing them from inside the ship was completely different!

潜水艦の中から、イルカなど見ることもできます。
水族館と似たような感覚なのかなと思いましたが、船の中から見る近さなど、まったく違うものでした！

I was thrilled to see sea turtles. It's a rare experience, and if you go to Hawaii, it's definitely something you should do. I was satisfied with the many photos and videos I was able to take.

ウミガメが見れて感激。
なかなか出来ない体験でハワイへ行ったらぜひ行って欲しい体験です。
沢山写真に動画も撮れて満足でした。

We participated with two adults and four children this time. Fortunately, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so the explanations were easy to understand. When putting on the helmet, you have to dive into the sea once to wear it, and then an instructor is assigned to each person, so they handle the scooter for you, and you don’t have to do anything. It might be a bit difficult for small children. It was really fun to interact with the fish up close. They took photos and videos, which you can purchase later. For the meeting point, we took a taxi from the hotel, but the return location was hard to catch a taxi, so we called an Uber. There are also restaurants and cafes nearby, so you can have lunch as well.

今回大人2名子供4名での参加でした。
日本語の対応のスタッフが、たまたまいて対応してくれたので、説明も分かりやすかったです
ヘルメット装着の際は、1度海に潜ってヘルメット被る形になり、後はインストラクターが1人ずつついているので、スクーターも動かしてくれるし、何もやらなくて良かったです。
小さいお子様は少し難しいかもしれません
お魚さんと至近距離で触れ合えて、とても楽しかったです
写真も動画もとってくれて、後で購入する形です
集合場所まで、行きは、ホテルからタクシーで向かったが、帰りがタクシーがつかまらないような場所なので、Uberを呼びました。
周りにレストランやカフェもあるので、お昼も食べれます

It was a cool experience. We seen all kinds of fish, turtles, starfish and a shark. Definitely worth the experience the crew was great and knowledgeable. I would definitely go again

I did get a bit seasick along the way, but I was able to see the seabed, and I was surprised to find fish in such deep waters. If I have the chance again, I would love to do it again.

途中船酔いもしましたが、海底を見ることができて
そんな深いところに魚もいるなんてビックリしました。また機会があったらよろしくお願いします

It was my second time, and I had a great time. I was a bit concerned about the price being on the higher side. The sea was beautiful, and the crew was very kind to us.

2回目でしたが、楽しかったです。
ちょっと値段がお高いのが気になりました。
海は綺麗だし、クルーの方が優しくしてくださいました。

It was the coolest thing to do! Wasn't quite sure what to expect, but loved it. Getting that close to the fish underwater. Amazing.

Twenty years ago, when I boarded, it was cramped and fully booked... The windows were small and hard to see out of, but this time I read in the reviews that the sea is clearer in the morning, so I made a reservation for the early morning. There happened to be only six of us on board... It felt like we had the place to ourselves, and my family was happy.

20年前に乗船した時は狭いし、満席で…
窓も小さくて見難かったけれど、今回は口コミを読んで朝の方が海が濁っていないとしり、朝イチで予約。
乗船したのが、たまたま6人だけで…ゆったり貸切気分で過ごせました。家族も喜んでいました。

The guides for this tour are all American, so if you don't understand English, you won't be able to enjoy it 100%. There is a Japanese audio guide available, but the guides tell a lot of jokes, so understanding them will enhance your experience.
The submarine is anchored offshore, and you will take a shuttle boat to get there. There are restrooms on the shuttle boat, so please take care of that before boarding.
At a depth of 30 meters, you can see the wreckage of fighter planes and sunken ships. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming above the sunken ship. The course lasts 40 minutes, but it goes by in no time. It seems that the sea is less murky in the morning.

このツアーのガイドはすべてアメリカ人なので、英語がわからないと100%は楽しめません。日本語オーディオガイドがありますが、ガイドの話はジョークが多いので、それがわかるともっと楽しめます。
潜水艦は沖に停泊しており、そこまでシャトルボートで向かいます。トイレはシャトルボートにあるので、乗り込む前に済ませておいてください。
水深30mmで潜ると、戦闘機の残骸や沈没船が見れます。今回ラッキーなことにウミガメが沈没船の上を泳いでいました。40分のコースですが、あっという間に終了します。午前中の方が海は濁ってないみたいです。

Everyone except for my husband and me were foreigners. If you don't set the audio guide to Japanese, you won't understand the explanations at all. However, since the boat rocks a lot on the way, it's better to have motion sickness medication. It was thrilling to transfer from the boat to the submarine. Moving in the middle of the ocean to the submarine was amazing. When a sea turtle swam close to the window, I was so impressed! It was great to encounter various fish as well.

私達夫婦以外全て外国人。説明も日本語オーディオガイドにセットしないと説明が全く分からず、しかし、行きの船がとても揺れるので酔い止めの薬は、あった方が良い。船から潜水艇を乗り移る時などは感動。海のど真ん中でから、潜水艇へと移動。ウミガメが、窓の近くに泳いで来てくれた時は、すご〜い❗️と感動。
色んな魚とも出会いよかったです。

Headphones and MP3 pre-download are essential! Since I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village, it was great that the meeting place was nearby. It was a valuable experience to go underwater in a submarine.

イヤフォンとmp3の事前ダウンロード必須！
Hilton Hawaiian village宿泊だったので、待ち合わせ場所が近くて良かったです。
潜水艦で海の中へ入る貴重な経験でした

Our kids had a blast, not sure if I would do this if I had older kids / adults, as the views were okay!

There is nothing in particular. But it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun.

We participated as a family, and the kids, including myself, were really excited. I think opportunities to see the ocean floor are rare, so it was a valuable experience!

家族で参加したのですが、自分も含めて子ども達が大興奮でした。海底を見れる機会は、あまりないと思いますので、貴重な体験になったと思ってます！

Since I didn't want to go snorkeling, I thought about taking a boat out to sea, so I searched in the morning and boarded a boat around 2 PM that day. I didn't get to see a honu, but I did see a pod of dolphins! They swam very close to the side of the boat, and I was really happy! You can see Waikiki from the ocean side, and there's a chance to meet dolphins, so I would like to use this service again.

シュノーケルなどをしない為、船に乗って海に出たいなーと思い、午前中に探してその日の14時ごろの船に乗りました。ホヌには会えなかったけど、イルカの群れを見れました！船の横とても近くに泳いでくれて、とっても嬉しかったです！ワイキキを海側から見れるし、イルカに会えるチャンスもあるし、また利用したいです。

The water was murky and visibility was not very good, which was disappointing. Since we departed in the early afternoon, it might have been murky because of that. If we had gone in the early morning, the sea might have been calm and clear, allowing for better visibility. However, I was able to experience the thrill of navigating through the 30-meter deep sea.

海の中は濁っておりあまり良く見えず期待以下でした。午後一番での出発だったので濁っていたのかも知れません。朝一番だったら海は穏やかで透明でもう少し良く見えたのかも知れません。水深30メートルの海の中を航行しているというドキドキ感を味わうことができました。

The scooters were everything we hoped they would be, we saw tons of fish and the support team was absolutely incredible in ensuring we had FUN. One of the guys found an octopus to bring over for photos and to interact with. We were in the 2nd scooter group, so I got to hop in for snorkeling both before and after my scooter ride. I saw a turtle while snorkeling and it was neat to watch some of the scooters cruising around. Highly recommend adding this experience to your must do list while on Oahu. You won't be disappointed.

During the cruise, I encountered a pod of dolphins!! They were jumping around just like you would see in an aquarium, and it was amazing! Also, there were plenty of sea turtles swimming around, which was great!!

I was expecting to see tropical fish like Nemo since it was a glass-bottom boat, but I only saw some dark, plain fish, which was a bit disappointing. However, I'm glad I participated!

クルーズ途中、イルカの群れに出会えました！！
まるで水族館で見るようにイルカ達が飛び跳ねていてすごかったです！
また、当たり前にウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました！！

グラスボートということでニモをはじめとした熱帯魚が見れると期待していましたが、黒っぽい地味な魚がみられるだけでそこはちょっと残念でした。
でも参加してよかったです！
