All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

Ladder was the only struggle, but I made it! Once in the sub,arine the experience was so cool. Not somethng you can do every day!

Me and my husband who are a bit older felt like this was perfect for us to get to see the water as a diver would!

100ft underwater. We saw turtles, fish, sunken ships, and sunken planes! Visibility on the day we went was crystal clear and we took tons of photos. I went with my good friend and she brought her 4-year-old. He absolutely loved it!! One thing though, the shuttle boat from shore to the submarine drop zone can be really windy. I packed a jacket which the kiddo was glad that I need since it got a little breezy. Once we were in the submarine, it's fully air-conditioned so I'd have a light jacket if you get cold easily.

Excellent tour. Guide was funny and knowledgeable. I highly endorse rhe tour.

Fabulously unique activity and wonderful crew ensuring everyone's enjoyment

I could hardly understand the explanation since it was in English only. The guide mentioned that headphones with explanations in Japanese would be available, but when I asked, I was told it was English only. I got bored just looking at the simple underwater scenery.

英語オンリーで、説明がほとんど理解できませんでした。案内には、日本語で解説したヘッドホンが使用出来ると書いてあったので、尋ねると英語オンリーとのこと。単純な海底の景色を見ているだけで、飽きてしまいました。

The underwater scooter adventure seemed like a great idea, particularly for my wife, who doesn't like snorkeling because of having the breathing tube in her mouth. This diving-bell style system seemed like the perfect solution. It worked, but there were some major issues. Start with the boat, which is small and when moored to the dive area bobs like a cork in the ocean swells, creating motion issues. The scooter itself has air pumped in constantly, resulting in an ever-changing level of air pressure until the air is forced out. So, your ears are constantly clogging and unclogging like you are descending and ascending in a plane the whole time. You also have no control over where the scooter goes, since it is not really self-propelled. Each scooter is accompanied by a "dive master" who physically pushes you to where the master wants you to go, and who controls when you submerge and when you surface. The marine life is swell, with fish food provided to bring in the fish right up to your helmet. The helmet is also very noisy, with the compressed air machine running, making it unlike snorkeling, which is quiet and peaceful. Bobbing up and down in the current inside the diving bell also produces a lot of motion, so don't eat anything before taking the trip. The crew was nice, but did not provide much instruction about what would happen once under the bell. There are hand signals for the dive master, but you feel very much out of control during the dive. On balance, I would not do this again -- even if I had not gotten seasick.

It wasn't a huge school, but I was able to see various tropical fish. I was excited to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle, even if just for a moment! I was satisfied with my first submarine experience.

大群！という訳では無かったでしたが、熱帯魚が色々見られました。一瞬でしたが、海亀も見られて興奮！初の潜水艦体験として満足しました。

I was looking forward to my long-awaited trip to Hawaii, but it was cloudy and rainy from the morning, which made the water murky and hard to see. The submarine experience was good, but it was disappointing.

久しぶりのハワイで、楽しみにしていましたが、朝から雨で曇っていたせいか、水中が濁っていてよく見えなかった。潜水艦は良かったですが残念です。

I was happy to participate this time since my previous visit to Hawaii was canceled due to weather issues. Although visibility may vary depending on the weather, the day I participated was very sunny, and I was able to see the ocean floor beautifully.

You can see a wide variety of fish, from small ones to quite large ones.

I was also very satisfied to encounter sea turtles twice.

以前ハワイに訪れた際には天候の問題で中止になってしまい、今回2度目にして参加できたので嬉しかったです。
天気によって透明度等が変わるかもしれませんが私が参加した日はとても天気がよく、綺麗に海底を見ることができました。

小さな魚からかなり大きなサイズの魚まで幅広い種類をみることができます。

また2度もウミガメに遭遇することができて大満足でした。

Spectacular time. Terrific reef! 107 feet below the ocean.

Is there a submarine experience in Japan? The wrecks of ships and airplanes were incredibly impressive, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was wonderful! Perhaps due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no Japanese guide, and I got a bit lost along the way, but it turned out to be a very valuable experience!

日本であります？潜水艦体験！
船や飛行機の残骸が迫力満点満点で
海亀にも会えてとっても良かったです！
コロナ渦だからか日本語ガイド無く
途中ついて行けなくなりましたが
とても貴重な体験になりました！

I love this tour! Being in a submarine allowed me a different perspective and appreciation of all sea life. My children and I loved this tour. I would recommend this tour to everyone. All of the staff are friendly.

Very reasonable priced glass bottom boat trip with a knowledgeable captain who told
great stories on the history of the area. His lovely wife even took a family photo for us with diamond head in the background.
We saw dolphins, turtles and lots of colourful fish.
The boat was clean and sanitised before we boarded. Free Water was provided and a toilet onboard.
Only negative is that It would have been wonderful if able to to go below deck to view under or From side viewing panels instead of Viewing down from the top.
I would recommend this trip for the views and experiences.

So fun! Staff were friendly & informative. I would definitely do it again!

My wife and daughter enjoyed the experience. I did as well but swallowed too much salt water during open swim and got sick off the side of the boat. The crew was very professional in dealing with me. I did get to enjoy feeding the fish before my unfortunate sickness. I would definitely recommend this adventure. It is a very unique experience!

Friends vacationing in Hawaii had a blast and the sub-scooters was the highlight of our trip. We recommend you also buy the package of underground photos for your forever-memories.

Captain and crew were very friendly and helpful. Divers assistance also very nice. Enjoyed the whole experience. Will recommend to all family and friends. ;)

I participated in the 9 AM departure. At the check-in counter, I was welcomed in Japanese. Everything else was in English. In the photos of the submarine on the website, there were audio guide earphones provided, but there were no headphones, possibly due to infection control measures. Even though I didn't understand English, I was glad to have met the sea turtles and fish. The view from the submarine was a world of blue sea, and I couldn't distinguish the colors of the fish well, except for yellow.

As a measure against infections, all passengers were required to wear masks. For those who didn't have masks, there were supplies available. The crew sanitized the submarine windows with alcohol during the exchanges.

The weather was nice, and there weren't many waves, so it was good that there was little rocking. The view from the boat before boarding the submarine was also lovely.

朝9時出発に参加しました。チェックインカウンターでは日本語で歓迎してくれました。それ以外は英語でした。サイト内の潜水艦の写真では、音声ガイドのイヤホンが置かれていましたが、感染症対策の為かヘッドホンはついていませんでした。英語はわからなくても、ウミガメやお魚たちに会えたので、行って良かったと思いました。潜水艦からの眺めは青い海の世界で、魚は黄色以外は色の違いがよくわかりませんでした。
感染症対策として、乗船者は全員マスク着用です。マスクを持っていない人には、用意された物がありました。潜水艦の窓は、入れ替えの時にクルーの方がアルコール消毒をしていました。
天気もよく波もあまりない日でしたので、揺れも少なくてよかったです。潜水艦に乗る前の船からの眺めも素敵でした。

We had a very enjoyable trip near Waikiki to view fish and turtles. Our captain and guide were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They knew where to take us to look at the animals. They provided lots of information about the fish as well as the area near which they were found. They were also very helpful with taking pictures with great backgrounds. The timing was just about right--not too long bringing on boredom in younger patrons, and not too short with no opportunities to actually see the animals in their natural habitat. It was a good experience for our entire group.

I did many excursions on Oahu and this was my favorite, never had more fun in my life. BOOK IT- you will not be disappointed!!!

My family had a great time and service was excellent and workers are very friendly.

This was a great experience. It was wonderful to be educated about all the ocean conservation and the coral life that is being done. Was also nice at the time, it was not too crowded - which did make this trip worth the price.

Thoroughly enjoyed that experience and will definitely do it again. Have told everyone that they have to give it a try. Your crew was very good and pleasant and the young man talking with us was very entertaining. This is the second time I have been on an Atlantis sub the other was in the Caymans, which I also enjoyed but this one was the best.

Very good. The lady instrucror was very good n friendly. I am African n we use alot of proverbs i like the fact she spoke in a lot of proverbs which makes me remember home. Loves the artifical ruins for the fishes. Welldone the crew very professional

The crew were all friendly and knowledgeable. They made sure everyone’s experience was the best it could be. i was a bit nervous but the girl talked me thru it

The submarine scooter experience was amazing. The crew was very friendly and accommodating. We saw some sea turtles floating in the water and when we went into the sub scooters a whole bunch of fish were around us. Incredible experience!

Great experience viewing aquatic life from submarine. Totally worth to visit once in a lifetime. On downside, finding the checking point was too cumbersome. Do plan to reach well advance in time. Did see lots of fishes, turtles. A bit on the expensive side, but again where else you would see marine life so closely without getting wet.

Fabulous. It was one of the best things I have ever done. I highly recommend this as a activity must do!!! We will cherish this experience forever!

This was a very unique excursion and we had a ball! Never even knew such a cool underwater viewing activity even existed. The crew was friendly and helpful and made us feel.very comfortable throughout the adventure. Highly recommend this amazing activity.
