You can relax on a boat and enjoy the night view of Waikiki until the fireworks start. The Hilton's fireworks were launched in rapid succession and were very beautiful. It was quite crowded.
花火まで船に揺られてのんびりワイキキの夜景を見ることができます。
ヒルトンの花火は連発で、とても綺麗でした。結構満員?です。

It's quite difficult to evaluate, but as a former scuba diver, I can't help but feel that the underwater visibility and the abundance of fish here just don't meet my expectations. In fact, the waters of Guam or Saipan might be better in comparison (though I'm not sure if they have submarines there).
Ultimately, the beach from which the Atlantis submarine departs is very shallow, with endless stretches of white sand. While there are artificial reefs submerged to provide habitats for small fish, sadly, it doesn't seem like many fish have taken up residence there. Additionally, the sand on the seabed stirs up, reducing the clarity of the water.
This is something that can be said for any diving location, but typically, you need to take a boat for about 30 minutes to an hour from the port to reach a diving spot with good conditions. Therefore, having high expectations for a dive just 15 minutes from the pier, at a depth of about 15 meters, seems unrealistic.
That said, if the tour were to take you 30 minutes or an hour from the pier, with depths of 20 to 30 meters, the tour costs would likely double and wouldn't be financially viable. On the other hand, participants might hesitate to spend that much time and money.
So, it's best not to expect much in terms of water clarity or fish abundance here. Instead, if you can accept it as simply an event (attraction) where you can "ride a submarine and explore the waters of Hawaii," it might be enjoyable for small children.
Inside the submarine, each person can listen to a Japanese audio guide through headphones, which provides a wealth of information and is quite enlightening. While it may differ slightly from the typical ways to enjoy Hawaii, it could be enjoyable for those who are tired of shopping or pool activities.
なかなか評価するのが難しいところですが、自分のように元スキューバーダイバーの人間からするとどうしてもこの程度の海中の透明度や魚影の濃さ(=魚の量)では満足はちょっとできません。これだともしかするとグアムやサイパンの海の方がまだマシなのかもしれません。(グアムやサイパンに潜水艦があるのかどうかは知りませんが)
結局、このアトランティス号が出航している浜辺はずっと遠浅でしかも白い砂地が延々と続いています。ですから一応海の中には小魚の生息場所として人工の漁礁が沈められているのですが、悲しいかなそれほどまでには魚が棲み付いている感じがしません。更に海底の砂が舞って海中の透明度がさほど良くないのです。
ただこれはどこの海を潜ったとしても言えるのですが、大抵は港から片道30分~1時間ぐらいは船に乗って行かないとなかなか好条件の揃ったダイビングスポットにはお目に掛かれないのが普通なので、このように桟橋から出航して僅か15分程度の、しかも水深も15m程度の海に過大な期待をするのは鼻から無理なようにも思えます。
かと言って、これで桟橋から片道30分や1時間、そして水深も20~30mまで潜るようだとツアー費用も今の倍でも採算が合わないでしょうし、一方のツアーに参加する側からしても、「そこまでお金や時間をかけてまでは・・・」と尻込みをしてしまうに違いありません。
ですからここはあまり海の透明度や魚影の濃さには期待をせずに、ただ「潜水艦に乗ってハワイの海を潜れちゃうんだよ!」という・・・ただそれだけのイベント(アトラクション)と割り切ってしまえば小さなお子様とかにはそれなりに楽しんで貰えるのかもしれません。
あと潜水艦の中では1人にひとつずつヘッドホンから日本語の音声ガイドが聴けるのですが、これがなかなか情報量が多く聴くと結構為になります。まぁ一般的なハワイの楽しみ方とは若干、系統が違いますのでショッピングやプール遊びに飽きた人とかにはそれなりに楽しめるのではないでしょうか。

I really like the cruise. I've been on it a couple if times. They always go out of their way to make sure everyone has a good time. The first time we saw whales, the second time we raced another cruise and everybody got involved. The views of Waikiki and Diamond head are amazing.

While the activity itself was good and the captain and crew were attentive....the travel arrangements were subpar and caused eight of us to squeeze into vehicles not meant to transport that many people. The other tour participants ranged from families with small children to young adults who called it a "booze cruise" .... I would suggest that the tours be advertised as either "family friendly" or a "party tour", which is one that freely hands out alcohol to young folks who are interested in partying. Having tours designated as such would allow the people seeking the particular type of activity to choose which tour to sign up for, the company can have it both ways. Overall, we enjoyed the activity ... Just not all of our fellow passengers.

Since we went to Hawaii for relaxation rather than activities, this was the best attraction for us. Although there were no Japanese participants, there were no situations that particularly required language skills. The staff is kind, so I hope you can participate without worry. The view of the sea and Hawaii from the front of the boat, along with the coolness and beauty unique to the evening, is exquisite! The all-you-can-drink option is also wonderful. I think it would be even more enjoyable with a partner, spouse, or friends.
アクティビティ目的でなく、のんびり目的でハワイに行ったので、我々にとってはこれが一番のアトラクションでした。日本人の参加はないものの特に語学力が必要な場面はないです。スタッフさんも優しいので、心配なく参加してほしいです。船の先頭から眺める海とハワイの眺望、それから夕方ならではの涼しさと美しさは絶品です!飲み放題なのも素敵です。彼氏彼女やご夫婦、友達でいくと、より一層楽しめると思います。

My younger brother, who loves whales, strongly wanted to participate, so our family of five joined in.
We were told that we would likely see them, but unfortunately, due to the bad weather, we weren't able to see any whales, which is quite rare. Even so, the guide did their best to announce flying fish and other marine life.
Additionally, they provided free tickets for another day in case we didn't see anything, so my brother tried again the next day, but unfortunately, he didn't see any whales again.
I think we just had bad luck... but I definitely want to try again!
クジラ好きな弟の強い希望で、家族5人で参加しました。
ほぼ見れるとのことでしたが、あいにくの悪天候の為珍しく見れなかったようです。
それでも、ガイドさんは必死でトビウオ等のアナウンスをしてくださいました。

翌日弟が再挑戦したのですが、残念ながらまた見れなかったそうです。

Our family’s first trip to Hawaii and our first sunset cruising!
At first, we were the only Japanese people on board, surrounded by foreigners, and with unlimited drinks, I was a bit anxious and tense about what kind of lively atmosphere the boat would have...
However, once the cruising started, everyone was friendly, and the atmosphere was free and enjoyable for everyone, making it an incredible experience!
We were blessed with wonderful weather and got to see a breathtaking sunset.
As the sun turned into a sunset, we witnessed the moments before it sank, the moment it sank, and after it sank... and then the night view. It was truly moving, and we had a fantastic experience.
To see such postcard-like scenery live, and so close over the ocean... plus, we even saw a rainbow in the distance later on, which was overwhelming.
This has definitely become an activity I want to participate in again when I come back to Hawaii!
家族で初ハワイ、初のサンセットクルージング!
最初は日本人が私たちだけで、外人さんばっかりでお酒飲み放題だったので、どんなノリノリな船になってしまうのか…と、少し不安と緊張感がありました。。
が、いざクルージングがスタートすると、みんなフレンドリーだし、全員が楽しめる、自由な雰囲気で最高に楽しめました!!
そして、天気にすごく恵まれた日で、最高に感動するサンセットを見ることができました。
太陽が夕日になってきて、沈む前、沈む瞬間、沈んだあと、、そして夜景。これは本当に感動もので、良いものを体験させて頂きました。
あんな絵はがきみたいな光景を、生で、しかも海の上のあんな近くで見られるなんて、、しかも、途中から遠くの方で虹を見ることも出来て、感無量でした。

I participated on September 19. It felt like there was light rain every morning and evening, but before the sunset, there was light rain on the mountain side, and several rainbows appeared! We were also able to see a rainbow from the sea near Diamond Head. The sunset was beautiful, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the green flash. There were only two couples of Japanese people, my husband and I, and another newlywed couple. The atmosphere on the boat was very nice, and it was fun with unlimited Mai Tais and other drinks.
9/19に参加しました。毎日、朝夕に小雨が降る感じでしたが、夕陽が沈む前に山側に小雨が降り、虹が何箇所か出現!ダイヤモンドヘッド側の海上からも虹を見ることが出来ました。夕陽も綺麗でしたが残念ながらグリーンフラッシュを見ることは出来ませんでした。日本人は私達夫婦と新婚夫婦の2組みだけ。マイタイ他が飲み放題で船上はとても良い雰囲気で楽しかったです。

I thought a smaller boat, where you can feel closer to the sea, would be better than a large dinner cruise ship, so I chose this one. It was just as impressive as I imagined, and the sunset reflecting on the water was beautiful! I was also able to take photos of surfers nearby from the same eye level. The boat's rocking was not as bad as I had worried, and I didn't get seasick.
The meeting point is a bit hard to find, so I recommend checking it out in advance on Google Maps.
ディナークルーズ船のような大きな船ではなく、
海が近く感じられる小さな船が良いと思い、こちらにしました。
想像通り迫力があり、水面に反射する夕陽が綺麗でとてもよかったです!
サーファー達が近くでサーフィンする様子を同じくらいの目線の高さで写真に撮ることもできました。
心配していた船の揺れもそれほどでもなく、船酔いもせずにすみました。
集合場所が少しわかりづらいので、
グーグルマップで事前に下調べしておくと良いと思います。

We used this service with our family during the New Year. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any whales during our trip, so it ended up being just a regular cruise. It's something that can't be helped, but it might be tough for those who can't accept that. The kids were quite disappointed. I wish we had explained beforehand that "there might be times when we won't see any whales."

I participated in a certain popular dinner cruise on an optional tour two days ago, but it was a bit disappointing, and the weather wasn't great, so I made a last-minute reservation the day before. The cruise started at 1 PM, and the weather was perfect! We had a great time getting splashed with water occasionally.
There were no other Japanese participants besides our family, but it wasn't a problem at all. If you want to enjoy drinks on the yacht, please bring some cash. We only brought a plastic bag and a water bottle. The plastic bag was for storing our flip-flops when boarding the yacht; otherwise, we would have had to leave them on the sandy beach at the boarding area.
It feels amazing, so I recommend this over the certain dinner cruise! Since it can get hot, don't forget a hat or a hoodie. My husband and I didn't get seasick at all, but our middle school daughter felt a bit queasy towards the end.

The sunset from the sea in Waikiki was amazing. On the day of the cruise, I thought it might be canceled due to rain in the morning, but the rain stopped about two hours before departure, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset.
