All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

A group is us were scheduled to do this activity. Due to a lung issue my doctor said no way. Veltran could not have been more helpful in processing this change. I would recommend them in the future

We went on the Sub as a group of 4. The only thing I would suggest to for next time is have a few people on each side of the sub. There were times when they saw something on one side and the other side did not get to see it or Photograph it. If we had people on both sides we would have had photos of all the different things.

The guide was very enjoyable and made the trip a blast. He told us things about the fish and the scenes from 107 feet below we would have never known, and he made it interactive as well.

I would highly recommend this to anyone that is looking to see things below the surface and not have to worry about having a SCUBA cert or getting eaten by sharks ( like one of our group did)!

Booked this and they had to reschedule us three times. This hindered our vacation scheduling. The ride wasn’t very long and not much to see. It was a cool experience but very pricey for what it is.

We loved the experience. I highly recommend them and their staff.

just an awesome adventure everyone should try it exciting to see the bottom of the ocean planes boats fish

The crew was very friendly and helpful, especially with making non-swimmers comfortable getting into the ocean. The scooters were super fun, and we saw sea turtles while snorkeling after our turn on the scooters.

It was fun, great experience. The waves were very strong that day so probably the only reason i cant give a 5. We both got sick and didnt enjoy as mich as we should have.

Awesome experience! The crew were all knowledgeable and helpful, and they made everything so seamless! We even saw sea turtles and were able to spend some extra time snorkeling around them! Only con is that the location may be hard to find. They're located at the very back of the parking lot, and check in is on the actual boat along the deck. Would 100% recommend!

From the boat ride to the Underwater Scooter ride this was a fabulous outing. The scooters were so much fun for everyone. Our group of 4 ages ranged from 19 to 67 years old and we all enjoyed it. We highly recommend! We would definitely do this again. Very well organized.

Absolutely amazing!!!
This was the highlight of my trip. I had the most enjoyable time. My husband on the other hand got sea sick. Notice to anyone going, please bring sea sick meds even if you think you've never been sea sick before. The boat is not like a ship...you will feel every wave!

My bf and I had so much fun! The crew made the experience so much fun! We enjoyed our first time at Hawaii doing this adventure and loved the pictures we got!

Try it! The staff were nice. I got seasick but it was nice to see things under the water

This was an amazing thing to do. Staff was awesome , friendly and very helpful. We had an absolute blast!!!!! Recommend this for sure as a must do. Outside of the scooter we got to swim/snorkel with a sea turtle which was outstanding. Thank you for the adventure.

Veltra’s refund policy for cancelling more than 24 hours is not as lenient as other booking sites. We did not see a direct way to ask for refund either.

Glass bottom boat was great! We went twice in a day.

Had a blast staff was more than helpful and patient with me and my wife... A must do

This was the most interesting excursion I’ve ever had. I saw 2 turtles which was the main reason I wanted to go. The sea life was so interesting, wasn’t what I had expected. I highly recommend doing this if you’re interested in ocean life. I saw a live star fish on the bottom and a mortar shell. The guides were also very interesting and funny.

Absolutely the best excursion we’ve ever done. Definitely unique to the islands. The staff was fantastic extremely friendly an overwhelmingly helpful. I would recommend to anyone traveling to Honolulu. Even if you’re scared of the water or claustrophobic they’ll work with you and get you in life changing.

Everyone was absolutely amazing! I truly enjoyed this tour and everyone on the boat was patient and helpful! I am a non swimmer and I felt so comfortable with them!

We saw more than we bargained. Dolphins and turtles

Absolutely loved this! I would do it again!!!!!!!!!

Great experience. It is worth the price. I've never been the ocean that far away from shore.

very friendly people, good customer service, best water experience

I went on my first trip to Hawaii from March 8 to March 12. I had planned to book activities in Japan, but a friend advised me to make reservations after arriving due to weather conditions, so I booked everything on my smartphone the day before.

Two days prior, I had booked parasailing with a different company, and although it was sunny until just before our turn, it started to rain and got cold when it was finally our turn. I was worried about the weather that day, but it turned out to be beautifully clear! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

We stayed at a minor hotel, so the nearby Hyatt Regency was the pickup location. When we boarded, there were already an American man, his two nephews, their two mothers, and a Japanese newlywed couple on the bus. It seemed we were the last to be picked up. After about 30 minutes of driving, we arrived at the boat dock.

It took about 20 minutes for check-in and to go over safety instructions. The company we were with was located on the same premises as the parasailing company I had used two days earlier, but while the parasailing company had restrooms, this one instructed us to use the nearby McDonald's for facilities. I didn't particularly want anything from McDonald's and thought I could hold it, so I boarded the boat without going. Looking back, I definitely should have used the restroom at that point since there are no toilets on the water…

Once on the boat, drinks (water) and snacks were available for unlimited consumption. After about 5 to 10 minutes, we arrived at the spot for the underwater scooters. It seemed that others were only participating in the underwater scooter activity, so we stayed on the boat while we were on a course that included SUP and snorkeling, and we transferred to a smaller boat to head to the sandbar.

Since it was a private tour, a Japanese staff member kindly taught us how to use the SUP, and while the snorkeling didn't have an abundance of beautiful fish, we were able to observe the fish slowly and take photos, which made for a very satisfying experience. I think we spent about an hour at the sandbar.

They provided wetsuits, but only for the upper body, so be careful not to cut your feet on the coral while snorkeling! I ended up getting injured in two places. ε-(´∀｀; )

After that, we moved to the underwater scooter spot. Once we switched back to the boat we had arrived on, there were already about 20 people from the underwater scooter group who had almost finished boarding, and we waited about 10 minutes until it was our turn. While waiting, we were able to see a honu (sea turtle) come up to the surface from the boat. The Japanese staff member had told us earlier that we would definitely see honu, so I was excited, but I never expected it to be so easy to spot them! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡

Once on the underwater scooter, after equalizing my ears, we followed the staff to a depth of about 2 to 3 meters. My face only got wet when going in and out of the helmet, so it was fine to wear contacts. Even in Hawaii, the water was quite cold when entering. When I shook the chain with the food, a lot of fish came to us.

Then we were taken to the honu spot, where we could see honu swimming on the ocean floor, drive the underwater scooter ourselves, and take photos with friends, which was very satisfying. I think we spent about 20 minutes there.

On the way back to the dock, the staff showed us the photos they had taken, and if we wanted to purchase any, we could do so. We decided not to buy them since they were a bit pricey, but there were some good photos. It seemed they had also filmed a video.

Afterward, since we were cold, it would have been nice to have a shower, but there wasn't one available. So, we were driven back to the Hyatt Regency by our pickup driver, and that concluded the tour. I was very satisfied with the private sandbar and my first experience with the underwater scooter. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again!

３月８日から３月１２日までのはじめてのハワイ旅行でした。
日本でアクティビティを予約してから参加しようと思っていましたが知り合いから天候の関係で現地についてから予約したほうがいいとのことで前日に現地でスマホから予約しました。
２日前に別な会社でパラセーリングを予約して参加したらパラセーリング直前まで晴れてたのに私たちの番になったら雨が降ってきて寒かったので当日天気が不安でしたが見事にピーカン╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
私達はマイナーホテルに泊まっていたので近くのハイアットリージェンシーがピックアップ場所でした。
乗り込むとアメリカから来たおじさんと
その甥っ子２人、そのお母さん達２人、日本人の新婚さん２人が既に乗っていて私達は最後のピックアップだったようです。
３０分ほど乗車すると船乗り場に着きます。
そこから受付や、注意事項確認で２０分程かかりました。
２日前に参加したパラセーリングの会社と同じ敷地内に今回の会社もありましたがパラセーリングの方はトイレがあったのにこちらの会社はお手洗いは近くのマクドナルドを利用してくださいとの説明でした…
特にマクドナルドで食べたいものもなかったのとお手洗いにも行かなくても大丈夫かなと思いそのまま乗船。
後で思いましたがこのタイミングで必ずお手洗いに行ったほうがいいです。
海上にはもちろんトイレはありません…
船に乗ると飲み物（水）や、スナックがあり食べ放題でした。
５分から１０分程すると水中スクーターが出来るスポットに到着します。
他の方達は水中スクーターのみの参加だったようで
そのまま船に残り私達はSUPや、シュノーケリングもできるコースだったので小型船に乗り換えサンドバーへ移動しました。
貸切だったので日系スタッフの方が丁寧にSUPの乗り方を教えてくれたのと、シュノーケリングも、キレイな魚がうじゃうじゃいたわけでもありませんでしたがゆっくり魚を観察したり、写真を撮ってもらったりのんびりできたので大満足でした。
１時間ほどサンドバーにいたと思います。
ウエットスーツを貸してもらえますが上だけなのでシュノーケリングの際サンゴで足を切らない様に注意！
私は2箇所も怪我しました
ε-(´∀｀; )
その後水中スクーターのスポットへ移動しました。
移動後、先ほど乗ってきた船に乗り換えると既に20人ほど乗っていた水中スクーターのみのコースの方達がほぼ乗り終わっていて１０分ほど待機してると私たちの番になりました。
待機中ホヌが海上に上がってきて船の上から
見ることができました。
先ほどサンドバーの時に日系スタッフの方から100%ホヌを見ることができるよと聞いていたので期待していたのですがまさかこんなに簡単に見れるとは
(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡
水中スクーターへ乗り耳抜きが済むとスタッフの方の誘導で深さ2、3メートルのところまで行きます。
顔は水中スクーターのヘルメットの中に入る時と出る時のみ濡れるのでコンタクトでも大丈夫でした。
水に入る時はハワイといえどすごく寒いです。
水中では餌が入っている鎖を振るとたくさんの魚がよってきてくれました。
その後ホヌスポットへ連れて行ってもらい海底に潜っているホヌをみたり、水中スクーターを自分で運転したり、友達との写真を撮ってもらい大満足でした。
時間的には２０分くらいだと思います。
その後は船着場へ戻る途中でスタッフの方が撮った写真を見せてもらって購入希望の場合は購入という流れでした。
私達は金額が高めだったので買いませんでしたがいい写真が結構ありました。
ムービーも撮ってくれていたようです。
その後は体が冷えてるのでシャワーなどあればいいですがないので迎えにきてくれた方の運転でまたハイアットリージェンシーへ送っていただきツアー終了でした。
サンドバーが貸切だったのと水中スクーターも初体験だったので大満足でした。
またハワイに行く機会があれば参加したいです。

The view from the boat on the way to the submarine was beautiful. There weren't many fish near the submarine, but I was able to see a lot of small fish and sea turtles. Before getting on the submarine, there was someone who interpreted in Japanese, but the explanations from the crew inside the submarine were in English, so I couldn't understand what they were saying.

潜水艦に行くまでの船からの景色が綺麗でした。潜水艦の近くには魚があまり来なかったですが、たくさんの小さい魚とウミガメも見られました。潜水艦に乗る前までは日本語で通訳してくれる人がいましたが、潜水艦の中でクルーが説明している内容が英語だったので何を言っているのか分からなかったです。

This tour was amazing.
I participated with a friend and had my first experience with an underwater scooter.
The sea was so clear that I could see the sand from the boat, and I could also see fish swimming.

I wasn't quite sure how to operate the scooter during the sea floor walk, but the instructor was pushing down on the handlebars, so it was fine to keep my hands inside the helmet.

I imagined there would be a variety of colorful fish swimming around, but only the same fish kept coming close, so I look forward to next time.

It felt warm inside the helmet, but the water was cold.
When we were signaled to dive deeper, my ears popped!
There was a signal to pinch my nose through the helmet.
I recommend pinching your nose and exhaling right away. I ended up with ear pain later, so I wish I had done it more frequently.

Those who wanted to could borrow a wetsuit for free, but it was damp and cold.

After the underwater scooter experience, we had free time.
There were snorkels, goggles, fins, and life jackets available for us to use freely.

I thought we would experience snorkeling in shallow water, so it took some courage to enter the deep sea from the boat for my first snorkeling and fin experience, but since I was wearing a life jacket, I wouldn't sink, so I boldly jumped in.

Snorkeling was fun!
With the fins, I could move quickly and discovered three sea turtles on the sea floor.
When we drifted away from the boat, we were gestured to head towards the shore.
I wish I had brought an underwater camera; it was a shame I couldn't take pictures of the sea turtles.

Since there were many people, the snorkeling time was long.
Just floating in the water was enjoyable.
It was really cold on the boat, so having a larger towel or something to wear would be good.
We were free to eat chips and drink water.

They took photos and videos of us with the underwater scooter, and they showed us the photos on the boat.
Maybe because we were buying together, they gave us a discount on the video as well.

Payment is made on the boat.
When we got off, there was a guy with a tip box.

The photos will be sent via email (link) after 5 PM on the day of the tour, but I could only see some of the photos from my phone.
The videos can only be viewed from a computer.
The download deadline is two weeks.

このツアー最高でした。
友人と参加しました。水中スクーター初体験。
船から覗く海も砂が見えるくらい透明度があり
魚が泳いでるのも見えます。

海底散歩でスクーター操作はいまいちわからず
ハンドルを握る上からインストラクターさんが押してたので
手をヘルメットの中に入れていても大丈夫でした。

色とりどりの魚が泳いでるイメージでしたが、
同じ魚ばかり寄ってきたので、次回に期待です。

ヘルメットの中は温かく感じられ、海の中は寒かったです。
深いところに潜るよという合図で、耳がキーン！
ヘルメット越しに鼻をつかむ合図があります。
すぐに鼻をつまんで息を吐く様にする事をお勧めします。
あとから耳が痛くなったので、こまめにしておけば良かったな。

ウエットスーツは上半身だけ希望者は無料で借りれました。
生乾きだったので冷たかったです。

水中スクーター体験が終わると、自由時間。
シュノーケル＆ゴーグル、フィンと救命胴着が
置いてあるので自由に装着し、自由に遊べます。

浅瀬で、シュノーケル体験すると思っていたので、
初シュノーケル＆フィンで船から深い海に入るのは最初勇気が
いりましたが、救命胴着をきているので沈まないので、
思い切って海に入りました。

シュノーケル楽しい！
フィンもあるから移動も早く海底にいる
ウミガメ3匹発見。
船から外れるとジェスチャーで岸側の方向へ行ってと指示がありました。
水中カメラ持ってくればよかったな。ウミガメ撮影出来ず残念。

人数が多かったのでシュノーケル時間が長かったです。
海の中をただ浮いているのも楽しかったです。
船の上は、とにかく寒い。大きめのタオルや着るものがあるといい。
ポテチとお水は自由に食べて飲んでOKでした。

水中スクーターの写真と動画を撮影してくださり、
写真と動画は、船の中で撮影写真を見せてくれました。
友人とまとめてだったからなのか、
動画も買うとディスカウントしてくれました。

お金は、船でお支払いします。
降りるとき、チップボックスを持ったお兄さんがいました。

写真は、当日の17時以降からメール（リンク）に送られますが、
携帯からは一部の写真しか見れませんでした。
パソコンからでないと動画はみれません。
ダウンロード期限は2週間でした。

I never thought I would enter the ocean since I can't swim, but I participated somewhat reluctantly with my friends. The person who picked us up only spoke English, but they were very nice. When we arrived, about 12 other people were already waiting. There was also a fourth-generation Japanese person who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring.

The bench in the morning shade was cold, and it was chilly in light clothing. The boat with the underwater scooters departed first, and then the participants boarded another boat to set off. There was a Japanese explanation of the underwater movements on the boat, which made me feel at ease. There was also an English explanation, but I couldn't understand it at all.

While waiting, we were free to eat snacks, but the bread next to us was fish food, so we couldn't eat that. My friend unknowingly ate some and said it was delicious.

Finally, it was my turn, and as I descended the ladder, I was scared and had a hard time getting into the water. I was called a chicken, but I managed to get in. I straddled the underwater bike, and the instructor operated the handlebars. When I threw the bait, the fish came close, which was fun. While taking photos, the instructor made a ring of air to entertain us.

Getting back on the boat was scary because I had to dive into the water, but the instructor supported me, and I was able to get back up safely. It was a once-in-a-lifetime memory.

泳げない私が海の中に入るなんてありえないと思っていましたが、
仲間と一緒に半強制的に参加しました。
ピックアップしてくれた方は、英語のみでしたが感じの良い方で
私たち以外にもピックアップして現地に着くと12人くらいがすでに
待っていました。日本語を話せる日系四世の方もいて安心でした。
朝の日陰のベンチは寒くて、薄着では寒かったです。
水中スクーターを乗せた船が先に出発、
そのあと参加者が別船に乗船し出発。
船の中で日本語で水中の中の動作等説明があり安心でした。
英語の説明もありますが全く分かりませんでした。
待っている間、お菓子は自由に食べていいのですが、
隣にあるパンは魚のえさですので食べてはいけません。
友達は知らずに食べてました。おいしかったとの事。。
いよいよ、順番がまわってきてラダーを降りていくも
怖くてなかなか海に入れず、チキン呼ばわりもされましたが
なんとか入ることができました。
水中バイクにまたがり、ハンドルはインストラクターが操作してくれました。
まき餌を振ると魚が寄ってきて楽しいです。
写真撮影をしてるときインストラクターが空気の輪っかを作って
楽しませてくれました。
船に上がるときは、海に潜るので怖かったですがインストラクターが
サポートしてくれ無事にあがることが出来ました。
一生に一度の思い出です。

I was looking forward to seeing a lot of fish while moving around underwater on a scooter.

Descending the ladder from the boat and entering the sea was thrilling, and I went in wearing a helmet that looked like something from outer space. At first, I couldn't get in properly, but the instructor supported me, so I managed to get in on my second try.

Inside the helmet, I could breathe easily and even took videos with my handheld camera. When I looked around, I was a bit disappointed because there were no fish at first, but after a while, while holding the handle and moving with the instructor, I was instructed to shake something in the net, and then, fish appeared!

A lot of horse mackerel came around. Some unfamiliar fish also approached, and I was able to touch them directly. The sea was clear, and it felt like my feet were almost touching the sand. Searching for sea turtles was also fun.

海の中を水中スクーターで移動しながらお魚沢山みれると思い
楽しみにしていました。
船からラダーを降りて海の中に入るのもドキドキで、
宇宙のヘルメットみたいなのに潜って入ります。
最初うまく入れなかったのですが、インストラクターが
サポートしてくれるので二回目はうまく入れました。
ヘルメットの中では呼吸も楽にでき手持ちの携帯カメラで動画も
とることができました。
周りを見渡すと、あれ、魚がいない。と残念な気持ちでしたが
しばらくハンドルを握りながらインストラクターと共に移動し
網金具に入ったものを振ってくださいとジェスチャーで指示が
あり、ふってるとお魚キター！
アジ？がたくさん周辺に来てくれました。みなれないお魚も
寄ってきて直接手で触れることもできました。
海は透明度があり、砂に足がつきそうでつかないです。
ウミガメ捜索も楽しかったです。

I experienced a underwater scooter, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling.

While I was stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, it was a bit windy, which made it feel colder. I could see corals, but there were hardly any fish.

The underwater scooter was really great! Fish came close, but unfortunately, they didn't have that tropical fish vibe and looked more like a school of mackerel (laughs).

I took photos with my smartphone and videos with an underwater camera, but there was an additional charge. Moreover, even though I paid, the photos taken with my smartphone were not sent to me.

水中スクーターとスタンドアップパドル、シュノーケル体験しました。

スタンドアップパドルとシュノーケルを体験中は若干風が強かったので体感温度が下がり寒かったです。
サンゴは見れますが魚は殆どいませんでした。

水中スクーターはとっても良かったです！魚が寄ってきましたが残念な事に熱帯魚感がなくサンマの群のようでした（笑）

スマホで写真、水中カメラで動画を撮っていただきましたが別料金がかかります。
しかもお金を払ったのにスマホで撮った写真は送られて来ませんでした。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and we were blessed with beautiful weather. We started with an optional tour on a boat, where we went snorkeling at a sandbar. The water was crystal clear, allowing us to swim with fish and observe coral.

After snorkeling, we experienced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). At first, it was challenging to maintain balance, but thanks to our guide's instructions, I was able to ride confidently.

For the final activity, we switched to a different boat for the underwater scooter. While exploring underwater, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle. We attracted fish with bait for some great photos, and at the end, we were able to purchase the photos for $40.

初めてのハワイでしたが天候にも恵まれ、とても快晴でのオプショナルツアーで、初めに船に乗りサンドバーの浅瀬でのシュノーケリングをしました。
海が透き通っていて魚と一緒に泳いだりサンゴを観察することができます。
シュノーケリングの後はSUP体験で、初めはバランスを取るのが大変ですがガイドさんのご指導のおかげでしっかり乗る事ができました。
最後の水中スクーターは違う船に乗り換えました。水中スクーターで海の中に入り進んでいる途中運が良くウミガメをお目にかかる事ができました。魚の餌で魚たちをおびき寄せ写真をたくさん撮っていただき、最後に40ドルで頂くことができました。

I've been on 3 trips in the last 2 months with activities scheduled everyday for jet skiing, snowmobiling, fishing, etc. and this was the most fun I have had doing any of them.

My wife is claustrophobic and just couldn't do it, so I took her turn and did it twice. There is a bag of fish food on the front of the scooter, and you squeeze it and wave it around and the fish go nuts literally right in front of you and eat from your hand. I saw 6 different species of colorful fish and a sea turtle so close I could have touched it.

They videotape you doing it and take photos, so you can show your friends who aren't going to understand unless they see it. When they do see it, they all want to do it too. Would definitely do this again.
