I participated in the premium tour. It was relaxing and enjoyable. I sat in the front, and my 8-year-old child was thrilled to be doted on by the guide. The program we received at the reception included a list with pictures of fish, and my child particularly enjoyed checking off the fish they saw. There were comments about the staff chatting amongst themselves being noisy, but I didn't mind it at all. Cold air was coming from below, so it was chilly at my feet. If you're sensitive to the cold, it would be good to bring leg warmers or something similar. The company's website has a diving map, and I aimed for the right side, which supposedly passes by the wrecks more often, but the course changes depending on the sea currents that day, so it ultimately depends on luck. The pilot tries to be fair to both sides, but it felt like the left side had a slight advantage during our trip. It might be a "grass is greener on the other side" feeling. This tour is definitely worth experiencing at least once. Also, since the boarding area is located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village, it's very convenient for guests staying at the hotel. It would be nice if there were discounts for not needing transportation, but unfortunately, that benefit is not available.
プレミアムツァーに参加しました。ゆったりとしていて良かったですよ。一番前に座ったのですが、8歳の子供が解説の係員のお兄さんにかわいがってもらい大喜びでした。受付でもらったプログラムに魚の図入りリストが掲載されており、特に子供が見えた魚をチェックして楽しんでいました。係員同士の私語がうるさいというコメントがありますが、全く気になりませんでした。足元から冷風が出てくるので足元は寒いです。冷え性の方はレッグウォーマーなどを持っていくといいでしょう。同社のHPに潜行マップが載っていて、右側の方が沈没物の横を通る回数が多いと狙ったのですが、当日の海流によって進路を変えるそうで、結局は当日の運次第。パイロットはどちらにも公平になるように操縦してくれますが、乗艦回は左側がやや優勢だった感じ。「となりの芝生」的な感覚かも。一度は体験してみる価値があるツアーです。なお、ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジの敷地内に乗場があるので、同ホテルの宿泊客にはアクセスが大変便利です。送迎が必要ない分、割引があってもよさそうですが、残念ながらその特典はありません。

I signed up for a tour because submarines can't be ridden in Japan, and my child wanted to try it. We traveled by boat to the location of the submarine, but due to lack of sleep, I ended up getting seasick even though the waves were calm. I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are prone to getting sick. However, once we were on the submarine, there was hardly any rocking, so my nausea subsided, and I was able to enjoy watching the seabed. I was satisfied to see sharks and swimming turtles on the ocean floor.
潜水艦は、日本では乗れないし、子供も乗ってみたいと言うのでツアーに申し込みしました。船で潜水艦の場所まで移動するのですが寝不足もあって波が穏やかなのに酔ってしまいました。乗り物に弱い方は、酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。しかし潜水艦に乗るとほとんど揺れなかったので酔いも収まり楽しんで海底を見る事が出来ました。海底でサメを見たり泳いでる亀を見る事ができ満足でした。

I was moved to see beautiful tropical fish and sea turtles up close. While snorkeling may not allow children to observe enough, this experience lets even small children participate and observe the fish, which I think is great. Additionally, since the explanations are given in Japanese, I believe that those who are not good at English can easily join in as well.
きれいな熱帯魚や、海がめがまじかで見れて感動しました。スノーケリングなどは子供が十分な観察ができませんが、これだと小さい子供でも参加し、魚を観察できるのできるのでよかったと思います。また、説明も日本語で行っている為英語の苦手な方も気軽に参加できると思います。

The beauty of the Hawaiian sea, the colorful fish, sea turtles, and sharks... I was truly amazed!! But what surprised me the most was the moment the submarine appeared at the venue!! It was quite impressive. Since I was five months pregnant, I couldn't swim in Hawaii, so I enjoyed the Hawaiian sea on the Atlantis submarine. I highly recommend this for those who come to Hawaii but can't or don't want to swim, as well as for small children and elderly people. The tour is divided into Japanese and English sessions, but due to my schedule, I could only participate in the English session, which made me a bit anxious. However, since there were many Japanese people, the guidance was in Japanese, so I was able to relax and enjoy it. I definitely want to take my child on the Atlantis next time~♪ I want to work hard for that.
ハワイの海の綺麗さ、色とりどりの魚、ウミガメ、さめ・・・本当に驚かされました!!でも一番びっくりしたのは、潜水艦が会場に出てくる瞬間!!なかなかの迫力です。私は妊娠5カ月の妊婦でしたので、せっかくのハワイで泳ぐことが出来なかったので、アトランティスの潜水艦でハワイの海を堪能させていただきました。ハワイに来たものの泳げない、泳ぎたくない方や、小さなお子様や年配の方にも本当にお勧めです。ツアーは日本語の回と英語の回に分かれているのですが、スケジュール上、私は英語の回にしか参加出来なかったので少し不安でしたが、日本人が多かった為か日本語での案内でしたので、安心して楽しむ事が出来ました。ぜひ今度は子供を連れてアトランティスに乗りたいなあ~♪その為に頑張りたいと思います。

I participated in the premium experience. My child had been wanting to go for a long time, but there was a height restriction, so we finally got to join. There were turtles and sharks, but they were on the opposite side, so we couldn't see the sharks. I recommend sitting on the left side. Both sides go through the same area, but all the points are visible from the left side first. I read some reviews and took motion sickness medication before going. There were a few people who seemed to need it after all.

I signed up for the Atlantis Premium Submarine Tour, departing at 10:00.
We boarded the boat at the pier and moved to the location of the submarine (it was quite rocky). The view from the second-floor sun deck of the boat was amazing, and I took photos with Diamond Head in the background! (You can go up to the sun deck both on the way there and back.)
From the moment I boarded the submarine, the beautiful blue sea of Hawaii was visible through the large windows. I've never seen anything like it!
The photos I took inside the submarine also captured the underwater scenery beautifully.
I was thrilled and it exceeded my expectations. It was the best~~
We returned to the pier around noon, so we could head straight to lunch.

I was able to realize a trip to Hawaii for the first time in several decades for my niece's wedding. While I was exploring various options, I learned about your company's campaign and quickly applied, which made this trip possible. I was a bit worried about the low price until I boarded the submarine, but the pickup and everything went smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the experience. Under the sea, there seemed to be fewer corals compared to places like Okinawa, which left me a little wanting, but it was a wonderful experience. I am 70 years old, and my wife didn't quite fit the atmosphere of wearing a long skirt and boarding a submarine, but we enjoyed it without any hesitation.

The ferry ride is short, so I thought I might not need motion sickness medication, but I was glad I took it! On the day of the trip, a typhoon was approaching, and it was quite rocky. Since passengers were unloaded from three submarines one by one, the time spent on the ferry was relatively long.
There is only one restroom for each gender, and it gets crowded, so it's best to go before boarding the shuttle bus.
I was able to see a variety of fish, even more than I expected, and it was fun. I was lucky to see two turtles swimming and a total of five fish at the reef!
連絡船は短時間なので、酔い止めは要らないかとも思いましたが、飲んでおいて正解!当日は台風が近づいていたこともあり、相当揺れました。3艇の潜水艦に順番に乗客を降ろしていくので、連絡船に乗っている時間は割と長かったです。

My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform

During my first trip to Hawaii, I really wanted to see the natural sea turtles and fish, so I made a reservation despite a packed schedule and participated in the tour.
The staff were very bright and friendly. I mistakenly waited at the wrong pickup location, but it seemed the staff were worried and looking for me. I apologize for making others wait a bit, but I was able to participate safely.
I read comments beforehand and took motion sickness medication, so the boat ride to the submarine was a bit bumpy, but I was fine. Underwater, I was amazed by the beautiful schools of fish, and I was thrilled to see two sea turtles. I also visited a nearby island, but I couldn't see as many fish or sea turtles there, so I was really happy.
If I had to mention one thing, they take commemorative photos before boarding and sell them on the return boat, but the price was a bit high. After much hesitation, I ended up purchasing only one out of the two photos. I wondered if the other one would just be thrown away, and I felt disappointed that I would have bought it if it had been a little cheaper.

Since there were four family members, I was surprised to see the difference between the amount charged for this tour and the amount I booked through the Atlantis website (which was charged to my credit card immediately and would be refunded upon cancellation).

The seating on the submarine is a little tight. Some seats are in between two windows which makes it a little harder to see out. On the submarine they show you how deep you are, that was cool. The sunken ships, airplanes and other structures are the most exciting, that is were most of the fish canbe seen. We saw 4 sea turtles just hanging out on the structures.

The submarine itself was larger than I expected and the ride was comfortable. I wasn't able to see as many beautiful fish or the seabed as I had hoped, but since opportunities to ride a submarine are rare, overall it was a positive experience. I recommend it for families with small children, but those who are prone to seasickness might want to reconsider.
思ったより潜水艦自体は大きくて乗り心地は良かったです。期待したほどには、きれいなお魚とか海底の様子はみることができませんでしたが、潜水艦に乗る機会は滅多に無いので総合的にはマル。小さな子供さんがいる家族にはお勧めですが、船酔いしやすい人は止めた方がいいかも。

I participated in a tour on July 3rd. Since the tour location was the beach in front of the Outrigger Reef Hotel, I leisurely walked to the designated spot in the morning!
First, we each signed in before boarding the catamaran!
Most of the participants were foreigners, which really lifted my spirits!
We first headed out to the waters off Waikiki for snorkeling! The blue of the ocean is incredibly beautiful, far beyond what you see at Waikiki Beach! However, I thought there were no fish... but when the crew fed them, suddenly there were fish!!! But only black fish... There were no coral fish or anything like that. The black fish were very timid and would swim away if you got too close...
Since it was a morning catamaran tour, snorkeling early in the day was a bit chilly for us Japanese, so we got out of the water early. Compared to that, the Americans were amazing!!
After snorkeling, the catamaran set sail towards Waikiki! As we sped towards Waikiki, when the boat hit the waves, we were at the front and got splashed all over, getting completely soaked! It was quite fun!!
On the way back, we turned off the engine, and it really felt like a "catamaran cruise."
Also, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication before boarding the catamaran! My mother, who usually doesn't get seasick, ended up feeling sick (^_^;).
7月3日にツアーに参加しました。ツアー場所がアウトリガーリーフホテル前のビーチということで、朝のんびりと散歩がてら指定場所に向かいました!!
最初に、一人一人署名をしてからカタマランに乗りました!!
ツアーに参加してる方はほとんど外国の方ばかりなので、気分も上々!!
まずワイキキ沖に出て、そこでシュノーケリング!!海の青さはワイキキビーチと比べものにならないくらい綺麗ですよ!でも、魚がいない・・・と思ったらクルーがえさをあげたら、いつの間にか魚が!!!でも黒い魚のみ・・・コーラルフィッシュなどはいませんでした。。。その黒い魚はとても臆病で近寄ると逃げちゃうんですよ・・・
朝のカタマランツアーなので、早くからのシュノーケリング・・・私たち日本人にはちょっと寒くて早めに海から上がりました。それに比べアメリカ人はすごいね!!
シュノーケリング後、カタマランはワイキキ沖へとセーリング!!ワイキキ沖に向かってスピードを出すので、船と波がぶつかると、前のほうにいた私たちはビッシャンビッシャンとしぶきが飛んできて、ずぶ濡れでした!!それが面白かったですよ!!
帰りはエンジンを切って、これぞ「カタマランクルーズ」ってなかんじでした。
また、カタマランに乗る前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいですよ!普段乗り物酔いしない母が酔いましたから(^_^;)

I participated in the 1 PM session on July 26th. Perhaps because it was the English explanation session, everyone except my family was foreign, which seemed to leave an impact on my children who were experiencing their first trip abroad. There were many families with children. However, whether it was due to timing or long-term pollution, the visible fish were limited to just the artificial reef area. Given our high expectations (perhaps too high?), I felt a bit disappointed with the content, but the fact that the kids could ride a submarine was truly exciting for them.
Also, thank you to the young lady who explained everything in Japanese at the dock. Perhaps because I was the only Japanese person there, she was very kind and thorough in her explanations, which was a great help. Regardless of the fish and turtles, the experience of riding the submarine was good. Even with the common issue of seasickness, my children, who usually get car sick, were completely fine.
7月26日到着日の午後1時の部に参加しました。英語解説の部だったからかも知れませんが、当方家族以外はすべて外国人で、ある意味海外に来た、と初海外の子供たちにもインパクトはあったようです。

また、船着場で一生懸命日本語で説明してくれたお姉さん、有難うございます。当方だけしか日本人がいなかったからかも知れませんが、実に懇切丁寧に教えていただき、助かりました。魚や亀はともかく、潜水艦に乗れる体験は良かったです。よく出てきている船酔いも、すぐ車酔いする子供も全然平気でしたよ。

I went to Hawaii for the first time. After getting married and having children, I hadn't been able to travel abroad, and finally, I was blessed with the chance to go this time. When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean, right? I wanted to experience the rumored beautiful sea, so I decided to participate. Guided by the wonderful crew from Atlantis, I excitedly boarded the submarine. More than the underwater scenery, I was left with a strong impression of the kind and stylishly uniformed crew. My overall rating is ★★★, which is a bit harsh (I'm sorry...). The reason for the harsh rating is that the water was murky due to a hurricane passing offshore, and there were fewer types of fish to see. In other words, I couldn't win against the weather, and it's frustrating... disappointing... that's my heartfelt cry. There are staff members who speak Japanese here and there, and the system is well organized, so I think it's a tour you can participate in with peace of mind.

辛口評価の理由は、ハリケーンが沖を通過したとかで海の中が濁り気味で、見られた魚の種類も少なめだったことです。

Unfortunately, it seems that on the opposite side of where we were sitting, there was a scene with a sea turtle swimming. That was really disappointing! However, even though we didn't see it swimming, we did get to see a sea turtle, so I guess that's good.

I usually travel on a budget and have never participated in a tour, but I joined this one thinking, "Will this become a memorable experience?" The result was extremely satisfying.
First, the view of Hawaii from the boat heading out to the submarine was wonderful. You can see the town of Waikiki and Diamond Head all at once, and the blue of the ocean and the sea breeze made me feel, "This is Hawaii!!" It was refreshing.
There are two types of submarines, and I boarded the smaller one. The interior was surprisingly cramped, and we sat facing outward on either side, so we couldn't change seats. This would later make a difference...
Once we submerged, we were able to see many colorful fish around the artificial reefs. The scale was completely different from what you see in an aquarium. We also saw sharks and rays, but the most exciting part was seeing two sea turtles on top of a sunken ship, which was something I had been looking forward to.
The most moving moment was when a third sea turtle swam alongside the submarine right next to us. It seemed that only those of us sitting on the left side could see it, as a mother with children sitting on the opposite side kept saying, "This side is a bust." I wished she wouldn't voice her dissatisfaction in front of her excited kids.
The tour itself was a great experience, visiting two artificial reefs, the wreckage of a plane, and two sunken ships. We finished with a rapid ascent to the surface, which also had a touching moment, keeping us entertained until the very end.
On the way back, while enjoying the dreamlike experience, they offered to sell the commemorative photo taken before boarding for $20, which somewhat dampened the mood and brought me back to reality. I wish they would just offer it as a service since they would presumably discard it if not purchased. (Is that selfish of me?)
As others have mentioned, the submarine is quiet, but the boat heading out to sea rocks quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication to fully enjoy the tour.
いつも貧乏旅行でツアーなど参加したこと無いのですが、「旅の思い出になるかな?」とこのツアーに参加しました。
結果は大満足でした。
まず潜水艦に乗り込む為沖に向かう船上からのハワイの景色がすばらしい。。
ワイキキの町並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを一望でき、海の青さと潮風で「これぞハワイ!!」って感じで爽快でした。
潜水艦は2種類あり小さい方に乗りました。
意外と狭い艦内に左右に外向きで座りますので席替えはできません。
これが後々明暗を分ける事に、、、。
海中に潜ると人口岩礁に様々な色の魚がたくさん見ることが出来ました。
水族館で見るのとはスケールが違います。
他にサメやエイも見れましたが、一番楽しみにしていたウミガメが沈没船の上で2匹も見れて感動しました。
一番の感動は潜水艦の真横に3匹目のウミガメが潜水艦に並んで泳いできた事です。
これはたまたま私達が座った左側だけしか見れなかったみたいで、反対側に座ってた子連れのお母さんがしきりに「こっちはハズレや」って言ってました。
不満に思っても楽しんでいる子供の前では口にして欲しくないなぁと思いました。
ツアー自体は人口岩礁2箇所と飛行機の残骸、難破船2隻を廻り大満喫。
最後に海上に一気に上昇してフィニッシュですがここでも感動場面ありで最後の最後まで楽しませてくれました。
夢の世界を満喫した帰りの船上で乗船前に撮った記念写真を$20で売り込みされますが、あれで少し興醒めして現実に戻されます。
買わなければ廃棄するはずなんでサービスして欲しいものです。(勝手かなぁ?)
他の方も書かれていますが潜水艦は静かですが沖に向かう船がかなり揺れるので、ツアーを楽しむには必ず酔い止めを飲んでおく事をオススメします。
