Unfortunately, it seems that the whales went towards Canada, so we couldn't go whale watching. I'm disappointed that it looks like I won't be able to use the tickets before they expire! I'll try again next year.

I decided to participate to excite my elementary school son, but my wife and I ended up being the ones who were excited. Since we had no experience with scuba diving, it was a lot of fun to dive into the ocean. Additionally, the guide had a great sense of humor, so I'm glad we joined. I highly recommend this for families!
小学生の息子を興奮させてみようと思い参加しましたが、私と妻の方が興奮してしまいました。スキューバなど未経験だったので、海に潜るというのが愉しかったです。

I was scheduled for a 9:10 pickup, but I overslept and woke up at 10:00... I hurriedly contacted them, and they quickly changed the time for me. The crew members were all fun people, and we encountered various creatures like turtles, sharks, and rays in the ocean. When I asked the kids what they enjoyed the most in Hawaii, they all shouted, "The submarine!" (^_^)
What started as a panic turned into a very enjoyable memory! I appreciate the kind assistance.

We were the only Japanese family. It was fun to experience the waves that soaked us and share smiles with the surrounding Americans. The scenery was amazing as we passed Diamond Head and enjoyed the waters off Honolulu all the way to Ala Moana. We participated in various optional tours, but this was the most enjoyable optional tour in Hawaii. I would do it again.

I was worried about getting seasick, so I took motion sickness medication after breakfast. I didn't get sick, but I was hit by an overwhelming drowsiness. The deeper we went, the darker it became, and the visibility wasn't that clear, so I dozed off and felt a bit out of it. If asked if I would go again, my answer would be NO. As mentioned in Manou Yamashita's book, in the morning, there were mostly Japanese people, so if you want to feel like you're abroad, I recommend the afternoon trips. In the morning, it was nice to have a Japanese guide and be able to listen to the explanations without headphones since there were many Japanese people... It was good that the shuttle bus dropped us off not at the original location, but partway, allowing us to get off in front of DFS without returning to the Sheraton. By the way, Manou recommended walking along the coast to the boarding area instead of taking the shuttle bus.
酔ってしまったら嫌だなあと思って、酔い止め薬を朝食後に飲みました。酔わなかったですけど、もの凄い眠気に襲われ、艦内は潜れば潜るほど暗くなるし、そこまで透明度も明瞭でないので、ウトウト、ぼーっとしてしまいました。もう1回行く?と聞かれたら、NO、です。山下マヌーさんの本に載っていた通り、午前中は、日本人がほとんどだったので、海外気分を感じたいのであれば、午後便がお勧めです。午前は、日本語ガイドになり、(日本人が多かったので)ヘッドフォンをつけずに解説を聞けるのは良かったと思いますが・・・。送迎バスの送りで、元の場所でなく、途中で、おろしてもらえたのは良かったです。(シェラトンまで戻らずにDFS前で降車できた)ちなみに、マヌーさんは、送迎バスで運んでもらうのではなく、海岸をずっと歩いて、乗船場まで行くことをオススメしていました。

I participated with my family and my 2-year-old nephew. I was nervous that there might be a height check since he was just barely 92 cm, but there was no check, and we were able to board without any issues.
The boat from the beach to the submarine sways quite a bit. We had to wait about 10 minutes for the submarine, and during that time, people who are prone to motion sickness felt quite nauseous on the swaying boat. Once we boarded the submarine, it was calm and steady once submerged.
Underwater, the visibility was poor, and we couldn't see many fish. There were fish around the artificially sunk feeding area. I was a bit disappointed because the photos on the website looked too beautiful, and I had that image in mind. Additionally, inside the submarine, we only listened to explanations through headphones, and there was hardly any interaction from the crew, which was a bit disappointing. However, the elementary school-aged children seemed to enjoy it.
2歳の甥と家族で参加しました。身長が92cmギリギリだったので乗る前に検査でもあったらどうしようとドキドキしてましたが、特に検査もなく何も言われずに乗れました。
浜辺から潜水艦までの船が揺れます。また潜水艦を待ってる時間が10分くらいあり、その間も揺れる船上で待機のため酔いやすい人はかなり気持ち悪くなってました。潜水艦に乗船し、沈んでしまえば揺れもなく穏やかです。
沈むと海の中は濁っておりあまり魚が見えませんでした。人工的に沈められた餌場の周りには魚がいます。ホームページなどの写真が綺麗すぎるのでそのイメージでいたのでがっかりです。また、潜水艦の中はヘッドホンで説明を聞くだけで乗務員さんからの話はほとんど無いのでそれも少し残念です。小学生くらいの子供は楽しんでいました。

About 90% of the participants were foreigners. The special drink is recommended as it doesn't make you drunk. If you are prone to seasickness, please take motion sickness medication before joining. Japanese is hardly understood, but it’s an enjoyable tour. If the timing is off when getting on and off the boat, you can get quite wet. Please board quickly while watching the wake. As mentioned by everyone, there is quite a wait. Even if the meeting time is 5 PM, the departure is around 5:45 to 6 PM. Bring minimal luggage. Towels are unnecessary. A waterproof camera is recommended. During this Obon season, a windbreaker is not needed. The voucher stating "comfortable shoes" is incorrect; wearing beach sandals is best. If you go on a Friday, you might enjoy the fireworks after sunset. You can view Waikiki from the sea, which is very nice. You can also see the layers of Diamond Head. If it's during the day, I recommend the snorkeling option.
9割くらいが外国人でした。スペシャルドリンクは酔わなくておススメです。船に酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでから参加して下さい。日本語はほぼ通じません。でも楽しめるツアーです。乗り降りの際にタイミングが悪いとかなり濡れてしまいます。引き波を見ながら、さっと乗船して下さい。皆様記載されていますが、かなり待たされます。集合時間が17時でも出航は17時45分~18時くらいです。荷物は少なく。タオルは不要。カメラは防水をお勧め。このお盆の季節ならウインドブレーカーは不要。歩きやすい靴というバウチャーは間違っています。ビーチサンダルで参加がベスト。金曜日ならサンセット後の花火を鑑賞できる時間帯も良いかも。ワイキキを海から眺められるので、とても良いです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの地層も見えます。昼間ならばシュノーケリング付がお勧めです。

We participated as a family of four. I joined 20 years ago and saw sea turtles and beautiful fish in their natural environment, so I wanted to show my children. However, the biggest point is that I didn't realize, since I didn't have kids last time, that the transfer boat to the submarine caused quite a bit of seasickness. It wasn't just us; many other participants were affected, and some adults were even down for the count. While the waves were a bit rough, the real issue seemed to be that we had to wait for about 15 minutes on a rocking boat while picking up people who had been on the submarine. The submarine itself doesn't rock at all.
The guide suggested taking motion sickness medication, but that doesn't help once you're on board. I think it would be better to clearly state in advance that "motion sickness medication is essential" for those who are prone to it. However, they might avoid mentioning this beforehand to maintain a good image.
Additionally, due to the deterioration of the natural environment in recent years, the beautiful coral reefs that were present 20 years ago have significantly decreased, and sea turtles are now rarely seen. The water is often murky (this is all based on what the guide said, so it's not just my impression). It seems that the views may not meet expectations anymore (this is my interpretation).
This tour has been popular for many years, but it might be reaching a transitional period. However, the staff and guides were very friendly.
One more point: when I made the reservation through Veltra, the voucher I received stated "this is not required to bring," but during the boarding process, they asked for proof of the reservation. I was glad I had printed it out just in case.
家族4人で参加しました。私は20年前に参加し、ウミガメや美しい魚が自然の環境で見られたので、子供たちにも見せようと思って参加したのですが・・。
まず最大のポイントは、前回は子供がいなかったので分からなかったのですが、潜水艦乗船までの間の乗り継ぎの船で、かなり船酔いしてしまうということ。我が家だけでなく、他の参加者にもかなり見られたし、中には大人でダウンしている人もいました。確かに少し波は粗いのですが、プレミアムと一般のツアーの乗船場所を回って行く点と、前の回に潜水艦に乗っていた人を帰りのためにピックアップするので、その間15分くらい、揺れる船の上で静止したまま待たないといけないのが辛かったようです。潜水艦自体は全く揺れません。
ガイドの人は酔い止めの薬を飲むよう呼びかけてはいますが、乗船後では何の役にも立ちません。船に弱い人のために、もっと強く事前に「酔い止め必携」を明記した方がいいと思います。ただこれを事前に出すとイメージが悪いので出さないのかもしれないですが・・・。
あと、近年は自然環境の悪化で、20年前はキレイだったサンゴ礁がかなり減り、またウミガメも減ってめったに見られなくなっている上に、海水が濁ることも多い(これらはすべてガイドさんが言っていたことなので、私の印象や創作ではありません)そうで、期待通りの眺望が得られなくなっていることも多いようです(ここは私の解釈)。
長年人気のツアーですが、そろそろ過渡期を迎えているのかもしれないですね。ただ、スタッフ、ガイドさんはとてもフレンドリーでした。
もう1点、ヴェルトラさんで予約をした際に返信されたきたバウチャーには「これは持参不要」とありましたが、乗船手続きの際には予約を取った証拠の提出を求められました。念のためプリントアウトしたものを持っていっておいてよかったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the Atlantis Submarine Tour.
I understand that you were hoping for your child to have the same experience, and it must have been disappointing that the views and services did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the boat transfer to the submarine that you mentioned, you are correct that it takes about 15 minutes, and I apologize for not providing this information on the tour page. To prevent similar inconveniences, we have promptly updated the tour page. We have also included information about seasickness on the voucher, so I would appreciate it if you could check that in advance.
As for the voucher, some guests do bring it with them, so we confirm it on the day of the tour, but please rest assured that you can participate by simply confirming the name used for the booking and the number of participants.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

It's important not to have high expectations. When you come to Waikiki, you can't help but think about catching big fish or a lot of them, but with that shabby gear and rod, it's impossible. It feels like I'm just wandering around places where there are definitely no fish, and it's kind of embarrassing.
期待しない事がだいじ。やはり、ワイキキまで来たらデカイ魚や、数がたくさん釣れるとか考えてしまいますが、あのボロい仕掛けと竿では無理。ポイントも絶対に魚が居ない所をウロウロして馬鹿にされてるみたいです。
