All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

The experience of a lifetime and the staff was first rate

The tour was cool. The guide was extremely knowledgeable which made the tour more enjoyable. The marine life was awsome. I did not get seasick!!

We had an awesome time. We are not the strongest swimmers, so this was a great experience. Do this! It~s so much fun!

I participated in the dive on January 17th at 11 AM. Unlike the day before when I was informed that the tour was canceled, we were blessed with good weather. The female staff at the pier explained, "Many people get seasick before we reach the open sea due to the high waves, so we sell motion sickness medication on board." It was a bit late for that! I was well-prepared and ready to participate. As expected from a surfing mecca, the boat heading out to sea experienced quite a bit of rolling and pitching. Many people started to feel unwell quite quickly. After a little over 10 minutes, we arrived at the location for the submarine's ascent. We had to wait on the rocking boat for about 15 minutes before boarding after the 10 AM dive guests disembarked. I realized that it’s better to board as late as possible from the front entrance so you can also see what’s happening from the cockpit. I recommend choosing a dive with live Japanese narration. Although the visibility wasn’t perfect, I was satisfied that I could see the blue sea at a depth of 30 meters where light still reached. After disembarking, the female staff at the pier said, "It seems most of the guests got seasick, but you all are okay." The waves were higher than they appeared, and it seems that the afternoon dive was canceled.

Since seasickness can ruin the experience of a dive, please make sure to take proper precautions against it before participating.

1/17日11時ダイプに参加。催行中止となったと聞かされた前日とは違い、好天に恵まれる。桟橋の女性係員が「波が高いので沖合に出るまでに船酔いする人が多いから、酔い止め薬を船内でも売っています」と説明。いまさら遅い!よ。当方準備万端整えて参加しているもんと余裕。サーフィンのメッカだけあって沖合に向かう船はそれなりのローリングとピッチング。はやくも気分を悪くする人多数。10分少々でサプマリン号の浮上場所に到着。10時ダイブの客を降ろした後に乗り込む事になるので揺れる船上で待機すること15分ほど経過。乗り込んで分かったことだが、先頭側入口からなるべく遅く乗る方が操縦席からの様子も見れて良いと思う。また、日本語のナレーションを生で聞ける回のダイブを選択するのがお勧めです。鮮明とはいかないながらも、30メートルの深さでも光が届き、青い海を覗くことが出来たので満足。下船後、桟橋の女性係員「ほとんどのお客さんが酔ったらしいけど、あなたたち大丈夫」と声をかけてきた。見た目以上に波が高く、その日の午後のダイブは催行中止になったらしい。
船酔いではせっかくのダイブも楽しめないので、船酔い対策をしっかりとして参加してください。

Unlike other tours, there were fewer people, and I was very satisfied.

他のツアーと違って、人数も少なく、大変満足でした。

There was hardly any rocking, and I didn't feel any seasickness, so I was able to enjoy myself. The food was great, with a whole lobster served, which made me very satisfied. If I had to say something, the photos taken were a bit expensive at $20... (This is the case at most main spots in Hawaii...)

ほとんどゆれることも無く、不安していた船酔いも全く無く、楽しむことができました。料理も、ロブスターが一匹まるまる出てきて、大満足。強いて言えば、いろいろと撮られた写真が20ドルと高い。。（ハワイの主なスポットではほとんどそうですが・・・。）

At the time of departure, I thought it would be canceled due to heavy rain, but the rain stopped during the hike, and we were able to go ahead with it. Because of the weather, we couldn't see the sunrise beautifully, but I thought the experience of climbing Diamond Head was valuable. We returned to the hotel before 8 AM, which was also a plus as it meant we didn't waste any time.

出発時は、大雨で中止かと思いましたが、登山中に雨はやみ、なんとか実施できました。日の出は、天気のせいもあり、綺麗にみることはできませんでしたが、ダイアモンドヘッドを登れる経験は貴重だと思いました。８時前にはホテルに戻ってきて、時間も無駄にならない点も良。

I participated in the morning tour. The live commentary is in Japanese, so I recommend it. They teach you about sea turtles and native Hawaiian fish, and talk about the relationship between the depth of the ocean and its color, making it both educational and enjoyable.
You travel by boat to the submarine boarding area. On days with higher waves, it can be quite bumpy, so it's best to take motion sickness medication in advance.

午前中のツアーに参加しました。午前中は日本語でのライブ解説なので、おすすめです。ウミガメやハワイ固有種の魚を教えてくれたり、海の深度と色の関係のお話などしてくれて、理科の勉強にもなり楽しいですよ。
潜水艦の乗り場までは、ボートで移動します。波が高めの日は、結構揺れますので、事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がよいです。

it was ok younger kids and family would enjoy it. it was intersting because you see things you wouldn't normally see such as ship wrecks and plane wrecks. seeing aquatic life was pretty cool we saw a female sea turtle the narrator said that was rare. the most annoying was the dual english and japneese narration on a sub that was all english speaking passengers.

Could not have been happier with the experience. Incredible scuba like experience - even for the non-swimmers. This is a definate must do when you are in Honolulu area.

Wonderful guides manuevered us around, gave us fish food and then dozen of incredible fish ate right out of our hand - it was great.

Their shuttle picked us up at the Waikiki Sheraton, We watched a quick video, they explained what was going to happen and we all board a boat that took us out into a calm harbor. BOB is a Scooter with a bubble attached and was very very easy to get used to.

fantastic....loved it...beautiful, fun..amazing... everyone who sees my pictures...want to do this next time they are in Oahu.. Staff was soooo nice and fun..

We participated as a family. It's an experience that you don't get to have often, so of course, adults can enjoy it too, but the kids were definitely excited the whole time. They were thrilled to see so many fish and turtles. I'm glad we took them. It became a wonderful memory.

家族で参加しました。
なかなかできない体験ですので、もちろん大人も楽しめますが、やっぱり子供達は終始興奮でした。
たくさんのお魚や亀に大喜び。
連れて行ってよかったです。
とても良い思い出になりました。

I can't swim, but the professional staffs make me feel very safe and I had an unique and wonderful experience underwater. I got to touch an Octopus!!!! Priceless!!!

I was apprehensive about the submarine, but the staff was very professional, knowledgeable and made the experience a great one. Would highly recommend.

I'm not very good at diving, and since I can't snorkel or dive, I chose to go on a submarine. We traveled along the seabed off the coast of Hawaii, where I could see fish and turtles up close, and in addition, we got to see planes and ships that sank during the war, which was a great experience. Also, since I don't often have the chance to ride a submarine, it was a wonderful experience. The moment the submarine emerged from the water was particularly impressive! I had a lot of fun!!

私はあまり水に潜るのが得意ではなく、シュノーケルやダイビングができないので、潜水艦を選択しました。
ハワイの近海の海底を進んでいくので、お魚や亀が間近で見れますし、加えて戦争で海に沈んだ飛行機や船も見ることができ、良い経験をさせていただきました。
また、あまり潜水艦に乗る機会がないので、良い経験になりました。特に、潜水艦が海中から現れるところは圧巻です！
とても楽しかったです！！

This is my third time riding. Fortunately, I've encountered turtles and rays every time. Even if the waves are a bit high, it's calm inside. I definitely recommend using a video camera over a still camera.

乗るのは３回目。幸運にも、毎回亀やエイに会えてます。多少波が高くても中は静か。カメラよりもビデオのほうが断然お勧め。

We participated with three adults and two children (ages 6 and 4). After the tour, the kids kept saying things like, "We saw a turtle!" and "There was a plane at the bottom of the sea!" over and over again. I'm glad it became a great memory for both the kids and the adults.

大人３人、子供２人（６歳と４歳）で参加しました。子どもたちはツアーが終わった後も、亀が見えたね~とか、海の底に飛行機があったね~と何度も何度も口にしてました。子供にも大人にもいい思い出になってよかったです。

very very interesting, exciting experience.
i saw turtle under the see.
this is amazing.

It was what we expected and we had a good time.

I went to Northshore with the intention of relaxing and taking it easy. At the beach, I took off my shoes to feel the waves, observed a turtle basking in the sun just a meter away, leisurely walked along a simple path, and admired the mangoes abundantly growing in the gardens of ordinary homes...

Now, we had dinner at Sunset Beach. There was a shrimp farm at the northern end, and they prepared fresh shrimp from there in a picnic box for us. I was pleased to see that our guide was mindful of the timing to provide us with warm dishes.

I recommend this place for those who want to unwind.

Northshore は、ゆっくり・のんびりを目的にして行きました。浜では、裸足になって波を感じ、上陸して日向ぼっこ中の亀さんを1メートル先に観察し、何と言うこともない道をのんびり歩き、マンゴーが普通の家の庭にたわわに実っているのを眺め・・・
さて、Sunset Beach で夕食をしました。北端に海老の養殖場があって、そこからの新鮮な海老を調理してピクニック用ボックスにしてくれました。我々に暖かい料理を提供しようとガイドさんが時間配分に気を使っているのが嬉しかったです。
のんびりしたい人にお勧めです。

Bob was the best thing we did on the entire island! The staff was EXTREMELY friendly and made sure everyone had fun!!

Spectacular way to view fish. Very relaxing & exciting at the same time. Felt very safe.

Just before boarding, the trip was canceled due to poor visibility in the water, which affected the next schedule, but I was able to board the next day. It was my first experience, so I was excited. The boat ride to the submarine, feeling the sea breeze, was enjoyable and refreshing. However, the underwater view was not as clear as I had expected. I had imagined a slightly clearer sea. Overall, I think it's an experience worth trying at least once.

海風を浴びて潜水艦までの船も楽しく、気持ち良かったです。但し、海中は期待したよりきれいに見えませんでした。
もう少し、きれいな海を想像していたのですが。
まあ、全体的には1度は体験してみるべきと思います。

Since I am not a scuba diver and the most snorkeling I have done was in my pool I would have to say this was a great experience. I took my three children ages 17,16, and 13. They had a wonderful time. The staff was nice. Having the fish each out of our hands was awesome. We even saw a huge turtle. Either before or after you go in the BOB you can snorkel around the boat. This was cool too. I wish I could have taken my underwater camera but they take great pictures with their camera for you. Of course there is charge to get a disc of the photos. The one down side is when we got home we were given the wrong photos. So be sure to ask them to double check before you leave. They are sending me the right one in the mail. Still overall this is a great experience for those who can't scuba dive yet.

We always want to try subra driving but never do it, BOB can sucess our underwater experience with comfortable environment, we really enjoy it even if my wife afraid with fishes. If luckly, you can also snokeling with turtle like us. We recommend to try it to have a first experience under the water if you can't swim.

We had booked a submarine tour for five family members, but on the day of the tour, the weather was bad, and we had to either cancel or reschedule. We were able to change it to another day at 9 AM. Even during the 9 AM slot, the commentary was in Japanese. The water was a bit murky, but we were able to see sea turtles, so we were satisfied.

　家族5名でサブマリンツアーを予約していましたが、当日、天候が悪く、キャンセルか別の日へ変更ということになり、別の日の9時に変更していただきました。9時台でも日本語での解説でした。
ちょっと、水は濁ってはいましたが、ウミガメも見ることができたので、満足でした。
　

My first experience with submarine sightseeing was truly impressive. I saw vibrant schools of fish in Hawaii, large green sea turtles, and even sharks!! It was very fulfilling! My parents in their 70s were also thrilled.

初めての潜水艦観光は、とても見応えがありました。ハワイの色鮮やかな魚の群れや、大きなアオウミガメ、鮫まで！！見応えタップリでした！　７０代の両親も大喜びでした。　

Of all the activities we did while in Hawaii, this was by far the best. The staff was very courteous and did everything the possibly could to make sure you had a good time. The ages of our kids were 13-19 and they were a great age to be able to enjoy the beauty of the underwater. I would recommend this to everyone that is old enough to take and follow the directions of the staff.

The whole family took motion sickness medication, and off we went! As we anxiously peered into the sea from the slowly sinking submarine, small fish gradually appeared. Just when we were a bit worried that this was all we would see, a large creature swam by! It was a sea turtle! We couldn't take a photo in time, but we later saw three more sea turtles just floating there. We didn't see any sharks, but there were some!

I especially recommend this for elderly people who can't snorkel and for small children.

家族全員酔い止めも飲んで、いざ出発！
少しずつ沈む潜水艦にどきどきしながら、海をのぞいていると、小さな魚が少しずつ現れました。何だこれだけか~~とちょっと不安げだった私達の前に、海を泳ぐ大きな物体が！そう海がめ！あっというまで、写真は撮れなかったけど、その後も、じっとしている海がめは３頭も見ました。サメも泳いではいないけれど、いたいた！
シュノーケリングの出来ない年配の方や、小さい子供には特にお勧めです。

I can go underwater exploring because I dive, but my parents and my little nephews and nieces cannot. So, I participated in the Atlantis Submarine. I was able to see more fish than I expected and even encountered a sea turtle. Additionally, we went to a really deep place, allowing me to experience an unknown world that diving alone wouldn't provide. I could also hear explanations in Japanese, and above all, it was an easy option for anyone to dive to the ocean floor. It was a really fun experience.

私は、ダイビングをするので、海中散策が可能ですが！！
父母や、小さい甥っ子・姪っ子は出来ません。
そこで　アトランティス潜水艦に参加しました。
思ったより、多くの魚を見ることができ、海がめにも遭遇。
また、すごい深いところまで行くので、ダイビングでは未知の世界も体験出来ました。

誰でも可能なOPです。すごく楽しい体験でした。
