All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

This was an awesome thing to do with the kids....the underwater shipwrecks etc. were amazing to see.

I tend to get seasick, so I was a bit worried, but there was no problem at all. It was mystical to see the turtles swimming and the schools of fish. Also, the view of the coastal hotels when returning from the sea was lovely. I think it's a sight you don't get to see often!

船酔いするタイプなので、ちょっと心配でしたが全く問題ありませんでした。
亀が泳ぐ姿や魚の群れが見れて神秘的でした。
また、沖から戻る際に見えた海岸ホテル群の景色が素敵です。なかなか見れない景色だと思いますよ！

This was my third experience, so I didn't have the strong impression I had the first time, but my friends who experienced it for the first time seemed to find it fresh and were very happy. They shared that it was a top-class event during our seven-night stay in Hawaii. As the one who invited them on this trip, I felt very pleased about that. Since it was muddy from the rain, the horses were slipping, which seemed to add to the thrill.

私自身は３度目の体験ですので、最初の時の強い印象はありませんが、今回初めて体験した友人夫婦には新鮮であったようでとても喜んでくれました。今回の７泊のハワイでのイベントのトップクラスと感想を伝えてくれました。その事が、今回の旅行を誘った私としては嬉しく思います。雨でぬかるんでいたため、馬が足を滑らせていたため、余計スリルに溢れていたようです。

When we went on the Waikiki Glass Bottom tour in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary, we were greeted very warmly and we felt very welcomed. Although it was raining, we still felt comfortable because of the crew and were offered free drinks. During the boat ride, we saw coral, tropical fish, and even sea turtles! We took lots of pictures of the stunning scenery of Waikiki and the Diamond Head. The crew also explained the history of Waikiki and made the tour more interesting so that every moment was enjoyable. Next time we come to Hawaii, we will definitely be going on the tour again. We highly recommend this great vacation tour for anyone travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.

It was our first time experiencing the glass bottom boat tour. Although it wasn't what I was expecting from the title of the tour, but it was fun. The boat consisted of boxes with glass bottom you can look down to see underneath the boat. During the shallow parts of the water, you can see fishes and of course it's not a guarantee on what or what not you would see. But, wish we would have seen more!

The captain and his partner were friendly and nice. We went during the first tour at 9am, so we basically had the entire boat to roam around with another family. They offer drinks (water, bud light, soda) and restroom on board, which was great!

We were also lucky with the day that we went. It was sunny but during some parts of the tour, the clouds covered the sun, so the breeze was nice. So all in all, it was a fun experience.

This glass bottom boat trip gives one a new view to look at while experiencing a cruise. Not only is the view amazing but you get to see a side of wild life you don't usually get to look at. We got to see a few different types of fish and a number of turtles.
Our captain and his partner were also hugely helpful. Answering all questions and giving us interesting information on the sea and boat life here in Waikiki. But do understand, you can't control wild life, so some days or seasons might be better to go than others. And while what wild life you see may depend on a number of different things, the view is always enjoyable and relaxing.

It was a very valuable experience since it was the first time for the whole family on a submarine. The guide also made jokes in Japanese, so we had a fun time throughout. It was a bit disappointing that there weren't many fish, though.

家族全員が初めての潜水艦だったのでとても貴重な体験ができました、ガイドの方も日本語で冗談を交えて案内してくれたので終始楽しい時間でした、魚があまりいなかったのが少し残念でした。。

A completely different look at what Hawaii has to offer. Very much worthwhile

was a unique experience going underwater. had a lot of windows to look out at all angles and toured many wrecks and reefs. got to see sharks sea turtles and a large assortment of fish. good value

had a great time, the staff were very friendly and helpful. They had an assortment of drinks for the passengers. great value

The view from the submarine was great. I wish I could have explored the seabed a bit more. The moving boat was rocky, so I was glad I took motion sickness medicine. I was also disappointed that I didn't receive the premium free perks.

潜水艦からの眺めは良かった。もう少し海底散策をしたかったです。移動の船が揺れたので酔い止めを飲んで助かった。またプレミアム無料特典がもらえず残念でした。

We were both very satisfied with the underwater trip that we normally wouldn't experience. My child was glued to the window the whole time, watching the ocean floor (laughs).

普段は体験できない海底旅行に親子共々大満足です。
子供は終始窓にへばり付くように海底を眺めていました（笑）

This is my eighth time being taken care of by VELTRA. Every tour has been a hit, and this time's submarine tour was also very satisfying. I signed up for the Japanese guided tour at 10 AM, and it was a great decision! With the earphone guide tour, I believe the guide is the same for the entire itinerary, but I was able to get explanations about the fish swimming right in front of me in real-time. Thanks to that, I didn't miss seeing the sharks napping, the rays gracefully swimming in threes, or the sea turtles gliding by. The weather was on our side, with clear blue skies and calm waves. According to the captain, "Even if the sea is a bit rough, the underwater experience is hardly shaken." Departing from Waikiki Beach meant a short travel time, allowing us plenty of time for activities in the afternoon. I will look for more fun tours to join next year, so thank you in advance!

We participated with my brother's family and our parents to find something enjoyable for my 4-year-old niece.

We took a boat to the transfer point for the submarine. Sitting in an outside seat, the boat rocked quite a bit, especially while we were in the bay. The wind helped distract from the motion, but those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

Although the transfer to the submarine was last, it might have actually been the right choice. I had a window all to myself. My parents, who were seated in the middle, mentioned that they had to share two windows with 3 or 4 people, which made it a bit cramped. However, the staff's chatter was quite loud, and while it wasn't bothersome if you didn't understand English, it was a bit annoying when seawater dripped in after the hatch was opened.

There were plenty of fish around the artificial reefs made of blocks, boats, and airplanes. However, they didn't come close to the windows. It turns out that it doesn't quite match the pictures. Still, watching the underwater world while listening to the audio guide was fascinating and enjoyable. My niece didn't listen to the guide, but she seemed to have a good time.

4歳の姪っ子が楽しめるものを、ということで弟家族と両親と参加しました。

潜水艦への乗り換えポイントまで船で行きます。
船外の席に座っていると、かなりの揺れ。特に湾内にいるときの方が揺れました。
船外の席で風に当たっていると気分は紛れますが、乗り物酔いしやすい人は注意が必要かも。

潜水艦への乗り換えが最後になってしまいましたが、これが実は正解だったかも。
船窓を独り占め。真ん中のほうの席にいた両親は、3,4人で２つの船窓だったので隣の人が少し邪魔だったと言っていました。
ただし、暇を持て余したスタッフが話している声が結構大きいのと（英語が分からないとそれほど気になりませんが）、浮上後にハッチを開けた際に海水が少し降ってくるのは我慢です。

ブロックや船、飛行機などの人口漁礁の周りでは魚がいっぱいいました。
ただ、船窓近くには寄って来ませんが。やはり、写真のようにはいかないですね。
それでも音声ガイドを聞きながら見る海の世界は興味深く、楽しいものでした。
姪っ子はガイドは聞いていませんが、それなりに楽しんでいたようです。

Enjoyed the submarine experience with my 3 kids ages 7,12 and 14. All of us had a great time. The short boat ride to and from the dive site was great, with beautiful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Everything was very organized and the staff all seemed genuinely happy to be there. The narrator dude (Justin or Jason...can't remember) was awesome!...funny and knowledgeable. Sad to hear about how global warming is changing what can live and grow in Hawaiian waters and how quickly things are changing. We saw a million colorful fish, a shark and a turtle. Totally worth it!

It's not every day you get to ride in a submarine! Well organised informative staff and really well run. One of our trips highlights especially after it being a spur of the moment thing

It was my second time, but it was my family's first.
From the window, you can see the mysterious underwater scenery.
The explanations are thorough (in English) and really get you excited.
Don't miss the moment when bubbles rise up and you quickly surface.
Make sure to have your smartphone ready.
It's even more fun to capture it on video.

僕は二度目でしたが、家族は初めて。
窓からは不思議な海の底の様子がうかがえます。
説明も丁寧（英語）でテンションを上げてくれます。
浮上の際に泡がぶくぶく上がって海面に急浮上するところはお見逃しなく。

動画で撮るとなお面白いです。

It was my first time on a submarine.

There were fewer fish than I expected, and most of them were dark-colored, but I was able to see sea turtles and eels.

The staff on the boat were next to me, pointing out things like, "There's a sea turtle over there," and they also congratulated me, saying, "Is it your honeymoon? Congratulations! Wishing you happiness forever." I was really happy about that.

初めての潜水艦でした。

思ったよりも魚は少なく黒っぽい魚ばかりでしたが、海ガメやウツボを見ることができました。

船のスタッフの方が横にいたので「あこに海ガメいるよ」とか教えてくれたり、「ハネムーンですか？おめでとうございます。いつまでもお幸せに。」と言ってくれてうれしかったです。

Loved the submarine your. Crew was organized and moved the large crowd well into the submarine. Beautiful fish and turtles were awesome to see!

The seats inside the submarine were spacious, and I was able to see the underwater scenery through the large windows. The underwater world was darker than I had imagined, and I felt that we were diving deep. I learned that sunken ships and airplanes have become homes for fish, and that marine life is being protected. While I understand that there may be limitations for environmental protection, I think I would have been even more impressed if the underwater and seabed views were clearer.

潜水艦内の座席はゆったりしており、大きな窓からか海中の様子を見ることができました。想像していたより海中は薄暗く、深く潜水しているのだと感じました。沈められた船や飛行機が魚の住み家になり、海の生物が守られていること学びました。環境保護のためにできないかも知れませんが、もう少し海中・海底がはっきり見えると何倍も感動できただろうと思います。

Had a wonderful time. Got to check-in early and was offered an earlier eight AM ride as they held the boat for us. Turned out to be a blessing as there was fewer patrons and more windows. Guide was friendly and extremely entertaining. A must for anyone visiting the island for something very different.

I took a ride on the Atlantis at the end of the year.

Before boarding, the staff took a photo with Diamond Head in the background. You can purchase that photo as a large print on the way back for $20 or more, and you can also share it for free using a URL. The photo frame was cute, so I recommend it.

Depending on the season, I wasn't able to see sea turtles or notable fish, which was disappointing. However, I enjoyed the underwater guidance from the local guide, whose Japanese was a bit shaky. The repeated phrase "Jinko no San Goshou" and the corny jokes stuck in my head throughout the trip, and I still laugh when I think about it.

Also, while waiting to board the submarine, there were quite a few Japanese people who were feeling seasick. The boat had vomit bags available, but for those who are prone to motion sickness, I think it would be better to take anti-nausea medication or find ways to avoid getting sick.

Every member of the staff is polite. They're aim is that guest have an exciting, fun, safe time. It is all very entertaining and educational. The Atlantis experience is highly recommended .

It was a more enjoyable attraction than I had expected! I was also moved by the efforts to protect coral, which takes a long time to grow. Fortunately, a large sea turtle was swimming right beside me.

期待していた以上に楽しいアトラクションでした！
成長にとても時間のかかる珊瑚を守る活動にも感動しました。
ラッキーなことに、大きな海ガメがすぐそばを泳いでいました。

This is the 2nd time I've taken this and you see different things each time, great staff!

We went to Hawaii as a family.
I've been to Hawaii several times, but it was my first time on a submarine. I imagined I would see beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish, and I thought I would see sea turtles as well, but in reality, there were mostly monochrome views. We did see a sea turtle, but only for a short time. I believe the natural world changes from day to day. However, the scenery from the boat and submarine was incredibly beautiful, and we were able to take great photos, which made the kids very happy.

The submarine ride was my first experience ever... The deep sea off the coast of Hawaii was truly mysterious. There were moments where the scenery was quite repetitive, so children might get a bit bored. We spotted a few sea turtles near a sunken ship. Personally, I wanted to experience some thrill, so I was hoping to see sharks, but they didn't appear... That was the only disappointment.

生まれて初めて乗った潜水艦・・・
ハワイ沖の深海はとっても神秘的でした。
けっこう同じ景色が続く場面もありましたのでお子様は少し飽きてしまうかも。沈没船？の付近でウミガメを数匹発見。個人的にはスリルを味わいたかったのでサメも見たかったのですが現れず・・それだけが残念でした。

I participated with my 11-year-old daughter.
It was the first time I saw a submarine surfacing!!
From inside, I felt there were few fish, but we encountered a sea turtle.
We also saw two rays swimming together.
The crew said this was very rare.

11歳の娘と一緒に参加しました。
潜水艦が浮上してくるのを初めて見ました！！
中から見た感想は魚は少なく感じましたが、ウミガメさんに出会えました。
2匹一緒に泳いでいるエイにも出会えました。
これはとても珍しいとクルーの方が言っていました。

This is a very well run tour with good boats and high tech submarine experience. Thoroughly recommend it.

First of all, we had the experience of riding a glass-bottom boat at various tourist spots, but my eldest and second sons were extremely excited about the submarine. There were many families with small children, and it was great that we could enjoy our time without any issues even when our youngest shouted loudly every time he saw a fish or a turtle inside the vessel. The next day, we were very satisfied playing in the sand at the beach during departure.
