Since I didn't plan to go into the ocean on this trip, I joined this tour hoping to see underwater life. First, we took a boat out to sea and switched to a submarine, and it was great to enjoy the beautiful view of Waikiki from the boat.
Once we switched to the submarine and dove into the ocean, I initially saw hardly any fish, just a few shadows in the distance, and I thought it would be like this the whole time. However, as we approached the reef, I was able to see a much larger school of fish than I had imagined, which made me very satisfied! It was much clearer to see with my own eyes than in photos. I think this activity is perfect for those who can't dive or snorkel.
I recommend the larger submarine that accommodates 64 people, as it has bigger windows. On the afternoon trip, the Japanese audio guide was provided through headsets, and I still enjoyed it a lot. However, listening to the English announcements, I noticed they provided various information tailored to the situation, so I believe the tour with a Japanese guide would be even more enjoyable.
今回の旅行では海に入る予定がなかったので、海の中が見れればいいとの思いでこのツアーに参加しました。
まずは船で沖に出て潜水艦に乗り換えるのですが、その船上からワイキキの美しい眺めを堪能できて良かったです。
潜水艦に乗り換えて海に潜ってしばらくは殆ど魚の影すら見えず、たまに遠くに魚影が見える程度でずっとこんな調子かなと思ったら、漁礁に近づくにつれて想像以上に大群の魚を見ることができて大満足でした!写真で見るより肉眼ではもっとはっきり見えました。ダイビングやシュノーケリングができない人にはもってこいのアクティビティだと思います。
潜水艦は64人乗りの窓が大きい方がおススメです。
午後の便で日本語はヘッドセットでの音声案内でしたが、それでも十分楽しめました。でも英語アナウンスを聞いていると、その場に合わせて臨機応変に色々な情報を提供していたので、やっぱり日本語ガイドの便の方がより楽しめると思います。

This time, I participated with small children.
I recommend it for those who can't swim, get seasick, or small children who want to see marine life.
You can see a lot of sharks and tropical fish, and the kids were very happy!
Since it's air-conditioned, I recommend bringing a light jacket.

Before boarding the submarine, we traveled by boat, and the view from the sea was amazing. The performance... I was surprised when the submarine suddenly appeared. I boarded the submarine with high expectations. However, I was disappointed that there were fewer types of fish than I had imagined... I wanted to see turtles.
潜水艦に乗る前に船で行くのですが海から見た景色が素晴らしかった。パフオーマンス・・潜水艦が突然出てきた時はビックリしちゃいました。期待して潜水艦に乗りこみました。でも、自分が想っていたよりも魚の種類が少なかったのがっかり・・亀に会いたかった。

Premium Submarine Tour was very cool, well worth the extra money. Seating was comfortable. Tour guide very informative, easy to understand. My only complaint is we had a couple of smaller kids on the sub, they put on the headphones and sang most of the tour. We were able to see some pretty amazing ocean life, including a very large sea turtle, and a sting ray!
Would recommend for early in your vacation! We did this tour in the afternoon after the Whale watching breakfast cruise. We were also able to move up our reservation 2 hours just by stopping at the tent at the Hawaiiam Hilton, no extra charge!

First, you board a boat that takes you to the submarine anchored offshore. It sways quite a bit, and there are seats on the first and second floors. After we started moving, the staff provided guidance in English for the second floor. Since it was crowded, we moved to the second floor, which was both thrilling and a bit scary because of the intense swaying. When we finally reached the second floor, I felt a sense of joy.
When transferring to the submarine, it wasn't scary at all, and once on board, the swaying wasn't too bad, allowing us to enjoy observing the underwater scenery. However, if you're prone to motion sickness, it's definitely advisable to take medication.
I was expecting announcements in Japanese, but they were only in English and Chinese. There were headphones in front of the seats, and Japanese could be heard on channel 4. When I saw the pre-boarding instructions, it mentioned a Japanese explanation, but I ended up feeling disappointed.
まず最初に、沖に停泊している潜水艦まで行く船に乗せられるます。それがかなりの揺れで、一階席と二階席が有るのですが、二階席は走りだしてから係りの人が英語で案内します。
私たちは混んでいたので二階に移りましたが、それが怖いの怖くないの・・・ 揺れ方が半端じゃないからスリルがあって二階にたどり着いた時は嬉しかったです。
潜水艦に乗り移るときは怖くないし、乗ってしまうと揺れも
そんなでもなく楽しく海の中を観察できました。
ただ、酔う人は薬は必ず飲んだ方が良いです。
館内の案内は日本語を期待したのに、英語と中国語のみ。
座席の前にヘッドホンがあり日本語は4チャンネルで聞けました。事前説明を見たときに日本語の説明と書いてありましたが
期待して損をしました。

I went during the New Year. It was New Year's Day. It was the first tour of the morning. On the way, we were able to see whales. The boat circled around the area where the whales were, and I was excited as we kept following the whales. I was thrilled because I had hoped for whale watching rather than a submarine tour. The submarine was also fun with sharks, turtles, and colorful fish.

Positive Points
- The shuttle bus to the hotel is a dedicated trolley, which is easy to understand.
- You take a boat to reach the submarine, and the scenery is nice just offshore.
- Since it's just offshore, it's less likely to cause seasickness.
- It's a submarine, after all!!!
- You might see quite a bit.
- You can understand the current state of Hawaii's oceans and the various efforts being made to protect the sea.
Negative Points
- The fish visibility is quite low; if you expect to see fish up close to the windows, you might be disappointed. However, it is a very valuable experience to see the state of fish in nature and how they exist. You can feel the gap between the ocean on TV and the actual reality. Also, it depends on luck; I was able to see a sea turtle and a ray, but it seems there are times when you can see sharks as well. You might think that turtles are like Gamera in the ocean.
- There is a small invitation on the way back, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Even though the fish visibility is low, they do go around the wrecks, and you can actually see a lot of fish, so it's not really a bad point. Compared to the photos in the pamphlet, it might be a bit lacking... but this applies to everything.
They take photos at the entrance, but they sell them for $40 on the way back. Well, that's pretty common, right? However, for couples or as a memento of a honeymoon, the quality is good, so it's worth it. We bought one. Oh, and you might hear the name of a well-known airplane, too? (Sorry if I'm mistaken).
良かった点
・ホテルへの送迎バスが専用トロッコで、わかり易い。
・潜水艦に乗るまで、船で行くのですがちょっとした
沖合で景色が良い事。
・ちょっとした沖合なので船酔いしにくい。
・とにかく潜水艦!!!。
・結構見れるかな?。
・今のハワイの海の実態や、海を守るために色々な努力
がなされているという事実がわかります。
悪かった点
・とにかく魚影は薄いです、窓の近くで魚を見れると
思って行くとがっかりするかもしれなせん。
ただ、自然における魚の状態や有り様が見れるので、
とても貴重な体験だと思います。
テレビの中の海と実際の現実とのギャップを肌で

またその時の運もあるでしょう、自分はウミガメと
エイをみれましたが、サメが見れる時もあるよう

・帰りにちょっとした招待がありますがお勧めしません。
魚影が薄いとは言っても、ちゃんと沈没船などの周りを回っってくれて実際は多くの魚を見ることができるので、あまり悪い点とはいえないですね^^;。
パンフの写真とかと比べるとちょっと・・・というところでしょうか。まあこれは全てに当てはまるでしょう。
入り口で写真を撮ってくれるのですが、帰りに40ドルでうってくれます。まあよくある事ですよね。ただカップルや新婚旅行の記念としては、出来も良いのでいいのでは?自分たちは買って来ました。

Diving into the sea in a submarine is something that rarely happens, so I had a very valuable experience.
Inside the submarine, we couldn't leave our seats, so it was disappointing that I couldn't see the shark that was apparently visible from the opposite window. However, the submarine rotated to allow us to see five different points from both windows, so I was able to enjoy watching sleeping sea turtles and beautiful fish swimming around the reefs.
The commentary on board was aimed at children, but I think it was enjoyable enough for adults as well. The relationship between sunlight underwater and the colors of the coral was very interesting.
After disembarking, I heard that we could see dolphins from the boat returning to the pier, but during the transition between trips, the boat rocked due to strong winds, and I got seasick, so I couldn't see them (TT).

I participated in the Japanese guide's time slot.
I recommend it for those who can't snorkel or dive.
I joined for my 5-year-old son.
We could see sharks and turtles, and we received a pamphlet (in Japanese!) with a list of possible sea creatures we might see, so my son was quite happy comparing the pamphlet with what we saw on the ocean floor.
However, the diving time is a bit long at 45 minutes, so towards the end, it can get a little boring.
Also, it felt like the air conditioning was a bit too strong, so I recommend bringing warm items like a shawl or cardigan.
The staff at the dock were very kind and treated my son very nicely, which was great.

ただし、潜水時間が45分とやや長めなので、最後の方はやや飽きがきます。
また、空調がやや効きすぎている感があり、ショールやカーデガンなどの防寒グッズと持っていかれることをお勧めします。

It was a trip to Hawaii for me, my son, and my 75-year-old mother. However, since my mother's legs were not in good condition before departure, my son and I participated in optional activities separately from her. She joined the submarine tour alone.
The transportation service was said to be kind and attentive. Since the explanation was in Japanese, it was easy to understand and enjoy. She was able to see turtles and many fish swimming.
Additionally, she noticed that Cessnas and boats were intentionally sunk in the fish tanks, where divers were seen diving. For small children, elderly people, or those who want to avoid getting sunburned at the sea, I recommend the submarine and similar activities. Since it's Hawaii, please make sure to see the fish swimming.
Those who have experienced snorkeling or sea walking might find it a bit lacking.

また、セスナや船が魚たちの魚槽に、意図的に沈めてありダイバーたちが潜っているのも見えたそうです。

At a depth of 30 meters, I was able to see four turtles. I had some difficulty taking photos from inside the submarine, but since opportunities to ride a submarine are rare, I definitely think you should experience it! Even on the boat to the point where you transfer to the submarine, the deck on the second floor is refreshing, and if you're lucky, you might see a whale!

We took a boat from Waikiki out to sea and transferred to a submarine.
The sea around Waikiki had waves, and I got seasick on the boat to the submarine. If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking medication in advance.
The underwater scenery is very beautiful, and it's recommended for those who can't swim (or dive). We were lucky enough to see sea turtles and sharks. It was great to see the clear, beautiful ocean.
When the submarine surfaced and submerged, it was really cool. A must-see!
