I boarded a 48-person submarine at 10 AM on March 25 (Saturday). There were five participants, including two girls aged 4 and 7. Since this is a rare experience, I decided to participate from the very beginning of the planning. It was really great, and time flew by. This tour can be enjoyed even outside of family trips.
Currently, the weather in Hawaii is unstable, and it has been raining almost every day. Many people got seasick on the shuttle boat to the submarine. I recommend taking motion sickness medication about an hour before boarding, even for those who usually don’t get seasick. Once the submarine begins to dive, there is no swaying.
Due to the heavy rain, the water from the canals flows directly into the sea, so the water clarity is not very good. In fact, the tours on April 1 and April 2 were canceled. Since we are dealing with nature, there are some difficulties.
The 48-person submarine mostly has English commentary, but the 10 AM dive has Japanese commentary. Conversely, English commentary is played through headphones. There are seats on both sides, but regardless of where you sit, you will definitely see the same points, so feel free to sit close together.
I recommend the morning dive for better visibility. You can see fish, and if you're lucky, you might spot sea turtles and rays up close. The diving time is about 40 to 50 minutes. You can also see the submarine rising from the shuttle boat, which was impressive.
Before boarding, a group photo is taken with Diamond Head in the background. This is an option that includes one photo with a mount and two smaller photos for a total of $20, tax included. The photos are handed out on the return shuttle boat, and you will be asked if you want to purchase them.
After the submarine tour, you can participate for free in a tour of the gold coral exhibition facility, which is collected in Hawaii. Even if you join this tour, the return shuttle service is reliable. You can request drop-off at Ala Moana Shopping Center or your hotel. You can also purchase accessories made from black coral.
Although the tour is said to last about 20 minutes, including shuttle service, explanations, and factory visits, it takes nearly an hour. I think those who are pressed for time should avoid participating.
3/25(土)10時の48人乗りの潜水艦に乗船しました。
参加人数は5名、そのうち子供は4歳と7歳の女の子。
めったに経験できるものではないので、
良好計画当初から参加を決めていました。
とても良かったですよ。あっという間に時間がたちました。
そのツアーは家族旅行以外でも楽しめますよ。
今ハワイは気候が安定せず、毎日のように雨が降っている状態です。
行きの送迎用の船で、酔ってしまう人が多かったです。
普段乗り物酔いしない方でも、乗船1時間前くらいに、
酔い止めの薬を飲んでおくことをお勧めします。
潜水艦は潜り始めれば、揺れる事はありません。
雨が多く運河の水がそのまま海に流れ込んでいるので、
海の透明度はよくありません。
実際4/1と4/2はツアー自体がキャンセルでした。
自然が相手なので、多少難ありといった感じです。
48人乗りはほとんど英語解説ですが、
10時の潜水だけは日本語解説です。
逆にヘッドホンでは英語解説が流れます。
座席は左右にありますが、どちらに座っても、
必ず同じポイントを見せてもらえるので、
気にせずつめて座るようにしましょう。
透明度が良いので午前中の潜水をお勧めします。
魚はもちろん海がめ・エイなども運がよければ、
すぐ近くで見られます。
潜水時間は40分から50分程度です。
送迎船から上昇してくる潜水艦を見ることもできます。
これも見ごたえがありました。
乗船前にダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにグループ写真が撮影されます。
これはオプションで台紙つきの写真1枚と、
サービス版より小さい写真が2枚ついて、税込み20ドルです。
写真は帰りの送迎船で渡され、購入するかどうかを聞かれます。
潜水ツアー終了後に、ハワイで採取されている、
金珊瑚展示施設ツアー無料で参加できます。
このツアーに参加しても、帰りの送迎はちゃんとしてくれます。
アラモアナショッピングセンター・宿泊ホテルまで希望をいえます。
黒珊瑚を使ったアクセサリー購入もできます。
20分位のツアーといわれますが、
送迎・説明・工場見学を含めると、1時間近くになります。
時間に余裕のない人は参加しないほうがいいと思います。

I heard that Honolulu has been experiencing a lot of rain lately, so I decided to try an event that could be enjoyed even in the rain. On the day of the experience, it rained as expected. And it was quite a heavy rain... But we were able to go ahead with the experience at the scheduled time. We took a boat out to the submarine, and from there we boarded. There were many foreign tourists around, which was a bit confusing, but we descended smoothly. The kids' first impression was "the world of Nemo." I was satisfied to be able to take the kids to a world that can't be experienced in Japan. However, due to the rain, the water was a bit murky, and there was some rocking, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious. I think it's worth experiencing at least once. (Though maybe not a second time...)
最近のホノルルは雨が多いとの情報を得て、雨でも楽しめるイベントをと思い体験しました。当日は予想通り、雨。それもかなりの雨・・・ でも予定通りの時間に体験が出来ました。潜水艦までは船で沖まで行き、そこから乗船です。周りは外国の人が多く、戸惑いもありましたが、順調に潜水。子供達の第一印象は「ニモの世界」。日本では体験出来ない様な世界へ、子供達と行けて、満足。でも雨のため、海中は少し濁り気味、揺れもあり、酔いやすい人は注意が必要です。一度は体験する価値はあると思います。(ただし二回は必要ないかも・・・)

Since we used the free children's program, I was wondering if there wouldn't be a seat for my child, but I was grateful that they had prepared one for Alan. The boat didn't sway as much as I expected, and the view of Diamond Head from the boat was amazing! On the submarine, I sat near the cockpit based on other people's recommendations, and I was able to see sea turtles and sharks! On the way back, we even saw whales, which made me very satisfied! It was the best experience...
子供無料プログラムを使用させて頂いた為、子供の席はないのかな???と思いながらの参加でしたが、しっかり用意して頂きアランちゃんに感謝でした。船は思った程揺れる事も無く、船から見るダイアモンドヘッドも最高!!潜水艦では他の人の書き込みを参考にコクピット付近に座り、ウミガメ、サメも見れました!!帰りの船ではクジラも見る事が出来て大満足!!最高でした・・・・

On February 13th (Monday), I participated with my family. I was a bit anxious because the pickup location was not at our hotel but at a nearby one, but we were able to meet the person who was there to greet us without any issues. I also took motion sickness medication just in case, but fortunately, I was fine. (We had to take a boat to transfer to 2-3 submarines. It was fine while the boat was moving, but when it stopped for boarding and disembarking, there was some rolling and it did sway. If you're prone to seasickness, it's safer to take motion sickness medication.) Once we entered the ocean in the submarine, it felt like a different world! (The submarine didn't sway at all.) We saw about five sea turtles and also some rays. We were able to see many fish, and both my 7-year-old child and my 70-year-old grandmother were thrilled. By booking through ALAN, children can participate for free, and the adult rates are quite reasonable, making it a great deal. I would love to participate again!
2/13(月)に家族での参加でした。当日のピックアップ場所は宿泊ホテルではなく、近くのホテルだったため不安でしたが、ちゃんと迎えの人と合流できました。また、船酔いを心配して酔い止め薬も飲んでおいたのですが幸い大丈夫でした。(潜水艦への乗り降りのために船で2~3の潜水艦を経由します。船が動いている間は大丈夫ですが、乗り降りのためにとまるとやはりうねりがあって揺れました。船に弱い方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が無難です。)潜水艦で海の中へ入ると別世界でした!(潜水艦は全く揺れませんでした)ウミガメを5匹ほどみられましたし、エイもいました。他にもたくさんの魚をみることができて、7歳の子供も70歳の祖母も大喜びでした。ALANで申し込みをすると、子供は無料にしていただけるし、大人の料金も格安でかなりお得です。また、参加したいです!

I participated with my 6-year-old daughter as a family. We took motion sickness medication beforehand. The boat ride to the submarine was quite rocky, so I was glad I took the medicine since I tend to get motion sickness easily. There were some people who looked like they were struggling. The guide spoke Japanese very well and provided a fun tour with jokes. We saw cute fish, sea turtles, and a sunken ship, and my child was glued to the window. I think it's a tour that adults can enjoy as well. It was a great experience, and I am very satisfied!
6歳の娘を連れて、家族で参加しました。乗り物酔いをあらかじめ飲んでから参加しました。潜水艦までの船もかなり揺れがあったので、元々酔いやすい私は薬を飲んでおいて良かったです。中には辛そうにされている方もいました。ガイドの方は日本語が上手に話せる方だったので、冗談も交えながら楽しい案内をしてくれました。可愛いお魚や、海がめ、沈んだ船など、子供が食い入るように窓を覗いていました。大人も十分に楽しめるツアーだと思います。とてもいい経験が出来て大満足!!

The shuttle bus to Hilton Hawaiian Village was comfortable and pleasant. The colors underwater were darker than I expected, but the kids were thrilled. It seems they made great memories with the colorful fish, turtles, and sharks.
On the way back, you can either return directly to the hotel or visit the coral shop. If you go to the coral shop, you can also visit Ala Moana Shopping Center afterward.
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジまでの送迎バスがアトランティスのバスで気持ちがよかったです。
海の中は思ったよりも色がダークでしたが子供たちは大感激でした。
海の中には色とりどりの魚、亀、サメがいていい思い出ができたようです。
帰りはそのままホテルに帰ることもできますし、サンゴのお店に行くこともできます。
サンゴのお店に行った場合、さらにアラモアナショッピングセンターにもいけるとのことでした。

This was my first time using ALAN. They exceeded my expectations by sending several emails before departure and being punctual for the pickup time. On the day of the trip, I was worried about my child getting seasick and gave them motion sickness medication, but the Atlantic was not too rough, and even the sightseeing boat wasn't that bad, so my child ended up sleeping inside the Atlantic! What a shame... If your child doesn't usually get seasick, it might be better not to give them medication before boarding. However, everyone was very excited to encounter the fish in such an unusual situation.
今回初めてALANを利用しました。出発までに何度かメールを送ってくれたり、ピックアップの時間にも正確だったりと期待以上でした。
当日は船酔いを心配して子供に酔い止めの薬を飲ませたのですが、アトランティック号はもちろんのこと遊覧船もそれ程ひどく揺れなかったので、ナント途中から肝心のアトランティック号の中で眠ってしまいました!サンネン・・・
それ程船酔いの心配のないお子さんであればお薬を飲ませずに乗船したほうがよいかの知れませんね。
でも普段ありえないシチュエーションでの魚たちとの対面に全員大興奮でした。

At the end of January, I arrived in Hawaii and participated in a submarine tour on the second day. My son and I joined the tour, and as scheduled, a staff member picked us up at our hotel and took us to the boarding area by bus. We transferred to a submarine via a sightseeing boat, but the waves were quite rough, and I felt pretty nauseous. However, once we were inside the submarine, it was fine. There was no rocking, so we could quietly enjoy the view. The water was murky, but we encountered many fish and turtles, and my son was so excited, squealing with joy. Before boarding the sightseeing boat, all the tourists had their photos taken. I accidentally closed my eyes, so I didn't want the photo, but they brought it all the way to our seats on the boat. When I mistakenly thought it was free and put it in my bag, they asked for $20. I regretted not being able to say "No, thank you!" clearly.
Still, I think we had a great experience seeing the fish and turtles, something we can't do in Japan.
一月の末、ハワイに到着して二日目のツアーで潜水艦乗船へ参加しました。息子と二人で参加したのですが予約したとおりホテルまでスタッフが迎えに来てくれ、バスで乗船場まで向かいました。遊覧船に乗って潜水艦へ移動するのですが波の揺れがけっこう激しくてかなり気分が悪くなりましたが、潜水艦の中では大丈夫。揺れはないので静かに見る事ができました。海は濁っていましたがたくさんの魚や亀に出会うことができ息子は感動してキャーキャー言っていました。遊覧船に乗る前に観光客のみ全員写真を撮ってくれました。私は目をつぶってしまっていたので欲しくなかったのですが、わざわざ遊覧船の座席まで持ってきてくれすぐどこかへ行ってしまったので無料だと勘違いしてバッグにしまっていたら$20くれと言われ払いました。「No Thankyu!」とはっきり言えていたら良かったのに。。。と後悔でした。
でも魚も亀もよく見れて日本では経験できない体験をすることができたと思っています。

We participated in the Atlantis tour with our family of three on a 48-passenger submarine. The underwater scenery was beautiful, and we saw various fish, turtles, and even sharks, which made the kids very happy. The guide, who was a foreigner that had lived in Japan, provided commentary during our 10 AM tour, mixing in some dad jokes, which made it quite entertaining. The boat that took us to the submarine allowed us to enjoy the scenery from the deck, and we got to see the submarine surfacing, which impressed the guests. I highly recommend participating in this experience!

This time, I applied for the first time with ALAN. Since the application was only through the internet and email, I was a bit anxious, but the transportation was exactly on time and there were no troubles at all. I checked the voice center's posts in advance and took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick. I was able to see not only many fish but also sea turtles and sharks, which made for great memories. Additionally, the view of Waikiki Beach from the shuttle boat to the submarine was wonderful. I also looked into local agencies, but there were no options for free admission for children, so ALAN's free child policy is greatly appreciated for families. I think I will apply with ALAN again.
今回、初めてALANで申し込みしました。
インターネットとメールだけの申込なので少し不安があったけど、送迎もきっかり時間通りで何のトラブルもありませんでした。
事前にボイスセンターの書き込みをチェックして酔い止めをしっかり飲んだので、船で酔うことも無く、たくさんの魚だけでなく海がめや鮫まで見れて、いい思い出になりました。
また、潜水艦までの送迎ボートからのワイキキビーチの眺めもすばらしかったです。
現地での代理店も調べて見ましたが、子供無料というものはなく、ALANの子供料金無料制度はファミリーにはありがたい限りです。
また、ALANでもう込んでみようと思いました。

The weather was nice, and everyone boarded the boat. There were people on the boat holding cards of three different colors. I felt unwell and got seasick, but inside the submarine, there was no rocking, and the children were very happy. Soon, we were able to see sea turtles, sharks, and small rays, which was a bit exciting! When it was over and we came back up, we were told we couldn't leave until the other two groups finished. I felt sick and had to return, and the waiting time was tough, but it seemed everyone else had a great time.

If you sign up for the first session in the morning, you can make good use of your afternoon as well. However, since we were staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, it was convenient for us to gather.
It seems there are submarines that accommodate 48 and 64 people, but the one we boarded was for 48 people. The boat takes you out to the submarine, and here's a tip: everyone rushes to board the submarine from the boat, but for the 48-person submarine, you can only board from the front hatch. The space inside is tight, so you have to sit closely together from the back. If you board last, you'll end up sitting right behind the pilot's seat, allowing you to peek out the large window of the pilot's area. Since the pilot's window is the biggest and turns to give an equal view, even if there are times when you can't see fish, you can still enjoy the view from the pilot's window. For the 64-person submarine, you can board from both the front and back hatches, so I hope it works out well.
The weather was nice on the day of our trip, and the sea was calm, so we were able to see many fish and even spotted turtles about three times. Seeing the remnants of war is heartbreaking, but it was a good opportunity to explain it to the children. The kids were excited and making a lot of noise underwater, and I worried we might disturb the people next to us, but they were nice and got along well with the kids, which was a relief.
There's no reason not to take advantage of the free child admission benefit.
朝一番の回に申し込むと午後からも有意義に使えます。ただ、私たちは、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに宿泊していたので、集合が楽と言うこともあります。
アトランティスは48人のりと64人のりがあるようでしたが、私たちの乗ったものは48人のりでした。
船で沖にある潜水艦まで運んでくれるのですが、ここでおすすめを一つ。みなさん船から先を争って潜水艦に乗り込むのですが、48人のりの場合乗船時には前のハッチからのみ乗船します。船内は狭いので奥から必ず詰めて座っていくので、一番最後に乗り込めば船の操縦席の後ろに座ることになり、操縦席の窓をのぞき見ることができます。操縦席の窓が一番大きく左右平等に見れるように旋回するため、魚が見れない時間がたまにあっても、操縦席の窓から楽しめます。64人のりの場合には前後のハッチから乗船するので、うまくすればと思います。
当日は天気も良く海も荒れていなかったので魚も多く見られ、亀も3回ほど見ることができました。戦争の残骸を見ることは心を痛めますが、子供にも説明する良い機会となりました。子供は、潜水中大騒ぎで喜んでおり、となりの方に迷惑をかけてしまったかとも思いましたが、良い方でしたので子供とも仲良くさせていただきほっとしました。
子供無料の特典を使わない手はありません。

We participated as a family with our 2-year-old and 4-year-old children. I had heard rumors that the waters in Hawaii are not very clear and that there aren't many fish, so I didn't have high expectations, but we enjoyed it more than I anticipated. The kids seemed to imagine a colorful world like in the movie "Finding Nemo," but the underwater scenery in Hawaii is closer to a monochrome world. Still, we had a great time, and seeing a large turtle swimming gracefully and small fish swimming in schools became the biggest memories of this trip.
As mentioned in another comment, the shuttle boat to the submarine might be a bit tough for those who are prone to seasickness.
The staff's responses were generally good, but I noticed some rather cold reactions towards tourists who didn't follow the manual, which brought down the mood. For instance, an Asian family trying to take a family photo at the designated spot was pushed away with the force of "You can't take photos here!" and when I removed my earphones inside the submarine, I was repeatedly asked, "Can you speak English? Those who can't speak English should wear earphones."
2歳、4歳の子供と共に家族で参加しました。
ハワイの海は透明度が高くない上、あまり魚も居ないという噂を聞いていたのであまり期待していなかった事もあり、予想以上に楽しめました。
子供達は映画の”ニモ”に出てくるようなカラフルな世界を想像していたようですが、ハワイの海中は、モノクロの世界に近いです。それでもずいぶんと楽しみ、大きなカメが悠然と泳いでいる姿や、小さな魚が群れて泳いでいる姿は、今回の旅行での最大の思い出となったようです。
別の方のコメントにもあるとおり、潜水艦までの送迎船は船酔いしやすい方にはちょっと辛いかもしれません。
スタッフの方々の対応は概ね良いものでしたが、マニュアルどおりに動かない観光客には、随分と冷ややかな対応をしているのを見かけ、テンションが下がりました。
(記念撮影の場所でそのまま家族写真を撮ろうとしたアジア系の大家族が「この場所で撮るのはダメ!」と突き飛ばすぐらいの勢いで押しやられたり、潜水艦内でイヤホンを途中で外して居たら「あなたは英語が話せるんですか?英語が話せない人はイヤホンをするように」としつこく何度も言われたり・・・。)

We participated in the 9 AM session with a friend and their child. As mentioned in other experiences, the kids got seasick on the cruiser and ended up vomiting in the submarine (there are paper bags provided). However, they quickly became excited when they saw the underwater world! We were able to see sea turtles multiple times and even saw sharks under the boat.
While there weren't as many types of fish as in an aquarium, it was still more enjoyable for adults than we had imagined. From the second floor of the cruiser, we could see the ocean floor and were moved by the beauty of the marine blue!
After the tour, there was a shuttle service back to the hotel, and we could choose to stop by a coral factory (if I remember correctly) or disband at the location. Initially, it was stated that there would be no shuttle service outside the Waikiki area, but when I wrote down our hotel (Ala Moana Hotel), the pickup time was provided, so I wasn't sure if there would be a shuttle or not. I emailed to ask and received a reply the next day, which was very reassuring (in the end, there was a pickup).
We had the standard option, so we were supposed to listen to the Japanese explanation through headphones, but the kids were so excited that we ended up not listening to it at all. We also took advantage of the free child policy, and it truly created wonderful memories!
友人親子と4人で9時の回に参加。
体験談にもありましたが、途中のクルーザーに子供たちが酔ってしまい潜水艦では嘔吐してしまいました(紙袋が置いてあります)でもすぐに潜水した海の中を見て大興奮!!海亀も何度も見れ、船の下のサメも見ることができました。
水族館のようなたくさんの魚の種類はいないですが、大人も想像していたよりは楽しめました。
クルーザーの2階からは海の底も見れ、マリンブルーの美しさに感動しました!!
終了後はホテルまでの送迎もあり、他には珊瑚工場(だったでしょうか?)に寄るか、そのまま現地で解散か選択できますよ。
それから最初に申し込んだ時にワイキキ地区以外は送迎がないようにかいてありましたが、利用ホテル(アラモアナホテル)を書き込むとピックアップの時間が出るので、送迎があるのかないのかわからず、メールで質問すると翌日には返事を頂きとても安心できました(結局ピックアップはありました)
私たちはスタンダードだったのでヘッドフォンで日本語説明を聞くようになっていましたが、子供たちも興奮ではしゃいでいたので結局それも聞かなかったです。
これで子供無料制度も利用させて頂き、本当にいい思い出ができました!!

We participated as a family. Our schedule was tight, so we joined the last session, but the visibility was decent, and we were able to see various fish up close. The inside was quite narrow, but when we saw turtles, there were cheers, and since there were many people other than Japanese, it was lively and enjoyable in a different way. I especially recommend it for boys who love vehicles. We took a boat to where the submarine was docked, but it rocked quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication. On the way back, dolphins followed us while jumping, which made me feel a bit lucky. With the added benefit of free admission for children, I’m glad we decided to participate.

I participated with my child and mother. This is actually my second time, but I joined at my mother's request. My child seems to enjoy the rarity of being able to ride in a submarine and the fact that we can explore underwater without getting wet. My child was also very happy. It was moving to see a sea turtle cross in front of the submarine. This time, we even took advantage of the free admission for children offered by Allen, which was a great deal. Since my child is not old enough to dive yet, they enjoyed exploring underwater without any risks.

I participated in Atlantis. The submarine was great, but my 5-year-old daughter got seasick on the way there and ended up throwing up on the boat, which was quite a hassle. The staff kindly helped clean up without making a fuss, but it took some time to decide whether to board or not... (I apologize for the trouble!).
My daughter seemed to dislike being on the boat, so we took the submarine instead. Although there was no rocking, she still felt nauseous, which was a bit sad. When it was time to return on the boat, she was almost in tears, but she understood that she had to endure it to get home. I thought it would be a bad memory for her, but it seems the sight of the sea turtles and various fish swimming left a lasting impression, as she happily talked about it once she felt better. So, I’m glad we participated. By the way, my 2-year-old son was fine because he was playing with his dad, moving along with the boat's rocking, and he was very happy to see the underwater scenery.
Hawaii is a place where surfers gather, which means the waves can be quite high. I think it's a good idea for those who are not confident to take motion sickness medication beforehand. Aside from that, it's an experience you can't have in Japan, so I recommend it.
アトランティス参加しました。潜水艦はよかったんですが行きの船で5歳の娘が酔ってしまい、船の中でもどしてしまって大変でした。スタッフの方には嫌な顔せずに後始末してもらい、乗るか乗らないかで時間もとらせてしまいました・・・(お世話かけて申し訳ありませんでした!)
子供は船にいるのが嫌だったようで潜水艦に乗りました。揺れは無かったものの気持ち悪いままでちょっとかわいそうでした。帰りもまた船に乗るといったら半泣きでしたが乗らなければ帰れないと知って我慢していました。彼女にとっては嫌な思い出だけかと思ったら海がめやいろんな魚の泳ぐさまは心に残っていたようで体調が戻ったらうれしそうに話をしていましたので参加してよかったと思いました。ちなみに2歳の息子はお父さんが船の揺れと一緒に動いて遊んでいたので平気で海の中の様子にとても喜んでました。
ハワイはサーファーが集まるところ、ということは波もそれなりに高いのです。自信の無い方は酔い止め飲んでおいたほうがいいと思います。それを除けば、日本ではできない経験なのでお勧めと思います。

It was my first time in Hawaii and my first time on a submarine. My ears didn't hurt, and I had a great time. There were bigger fish than I expected. However, due to the weather, the colors weren't very vibrant. I was thrilled to see several sea turtles. I think it's definitely worth it just to see the turtles!
初めてのハワイで、初めての潜水艦でした。
耳も痛くならず、楽しめました。
思ったより大ぶりの魚がいました。でも天気のせいか
鮮やかな感じはあまりなかったです。
ただ海がめが何匹も見られた事は感激しました。
亀だけもで見る価値あり!だと思います。

We participated as a couple. We had reserved the premium option, but the day before, we received a call from the hotel in Hawaii saying that the premium submarine was out of order and asked if we could switch to the standard option. Since there was no choice, we agreed to the standard, but it was absolutely fine. However, it was a bit disappointing that, despite being surrounded by many Japanese people, the announcements were only in headphones.
Based on this review, we boarded last from the bow side, so it was great to see the underwater view from the front window. However, since we were right under the ladder, water droplets were dripping down.
There were plenty of fish even before we dove. I was starting to think we wouldn't see any sea turtles since they took a while to appear, but one swam right in front of us. Moreover, around the sunken ship, there were several huge sea turtles, which was amazing. They were going in and out of the submarine and resting on the deck. There were divers as well. Additionally, we saw a shark that was over two meters long about three times (it might have been the same shark), which left us very satisfied.
I recommend this for those who have never gone diving, but the boat ride to the submarine might make you feel a bit seasick. There was someone on the same submarine who was holding a bag the whole time, and I felt sorry for them. If you just arrived in Hawaii and are jet-lagged, it might be better to wait until you recover.
This became the best memory of our trip to Hawaii!
夫婦で参加しました。プレミアムを予約していたのですが、前日ハワイのホテルに連絡が入り、プレミアムの潜水艦が故障したためスタンダードに変更してもらえないか、とのことでした。しょうがないのでスタンダードでOKしましたが、全く問題はありませんでした。ただ、日本人だらけだったのに、アナウンスはヘッドホンでちょっと残念。
こちらの書き込みを参考に、船首側から最後に乗り込んだので、前の窓からも海中がみれてよかったです。ただ、ハシゴの真下なので、水滴がたれてきます。
魚は潜る前からいっぱいいました。海がめがなかなか現れず、見れないのかなーと思っていたら、一匹前を泳いでいきました。さらに、沈没船のあたりでは巨大な海がめが何匹もいて、感動。船の中に入って行ったり、甲板で休憩してたり。ダイバーもいました。さらに、2メートル以上はありそうなサメも3回くらい(同じサメかも)見れて、大満足でした。
ダイビングしたことない人にはおすすめですが、潜水艦までの船がちょっと酔いそうになりました。同じ潜水艦に乗った方でずっと袋を抱えている人がいて、かわいそうでした。ハワイに到着したばっかりで時差ぼけの方は直ってからの方がいいとおもいます。
今回のハワイ旅行で一番の思い出になりました!

We participated as a family of three, including my wife and our 5-year-old daughter. Since we stayed at the Hilton, it was very relaxing, and we took advantage of the free child rate, which made us feel like we got a good deal. The view from the boat to the island was pleasant, and there were many beautiful fish in the submarine. We also saw turtles and sharks, and our daughter was so excited that she took a lot of pictures. Of course, it was also very impressive for adults! It was a truly meaningful experience.
夫婦と5歳の娘の3人で参加しました。ヒルトン泊だったので気楽だったし、子供料金無料制度も使わせていただき、得した気分です。沖までの船からの眺めも気持ち良く、潜水艦では、きれいなお魚がたくさん。カメやサメも見られ、娘は興奮して写真を撮りまくっていました。もちろん大人でも見ごたえ十分!とっても有意義でした。

I participated in the premium tour that started at 9:00 AM. It was a sunny day, but the sea was rough with high waves, and the lunch boat that took us to the submarine was rocking quite a bit, causing some participants to feel unwell.
However, once we boarded the submarine and submerged, the rocking ceased, and I felt much safer underwater. The clear blue water, combined with the beautiful morning sunshine, was simply stunning. I was amazed by the sight of turtles swimming leisurely, and I couldn't help but take many photos (remember to shoot without flash!).
The company operating the submarine, Atlantis, contributes to the protection of marine resources and the cultivation of marine life. They sink artificial reefs and collaborate with the University of Hawaii and companies in Japan on various projects. Therefore, it's impossible not to see fish, and you are almost guaranteed to spot turtles as well. Exploring the underwater world from the submarine and listening to the explanations made it all the more enjoyable.
For those worried about seasickness, I would recommend the premium tour on the larger submarine. This tour is also suitable for those who are not good swimmers, as you can still see the turtles.
午前中の9:00スタートのプレミアムに参加しました。当日は晴天でしたが、海上は荒れていて波が高く、沖の潜水艦まで連絡するランチボートは大きく揺れて、参加者の中には、気分が悪くなった方もいました。
しかし、いざ潜水艦に乗り海中に潜るとなんと揺れは無くなり、海中のほうが安心して過ごせました。それよりも晴天と午前中の海中の綺麗さも手伝って、なんと海の中がきれいなことか。ところどころに発見する、のんびりと泳いでいる亀に感動し、何度もシャッターを押してしまいました。(フラッシュ無しで撮影するのが、ポイントですよ。)
この潜水艦を運営するアトランティスという会社は、海中資源の保護や生物の育成にも貢献しており、漁礁を沈めたり、ハワイ大学や日本の会社とも一緒になってあらゆることを行っている会社です。よって魚が見られないということは、絶対にありえませんし、ほぼ確実に亀も見られますよ。潜水艦に乗って海中を探索し、説明を聞くと、うなづけます。
船酔いを心配される方は、大きい潜水艦のプレミアムツアーの方が良いのではと思います。
泳ぐのが不得手の方でもカメさんが見られるツアーです。

On the 24th, I attended the 9 AM session with a friend. The sea was calm that day, and since it was the first session, we were able to see the beautiful underwater scenery, which was very enjoyable. I would love to join this tour again if I have the opportunity to travel with my husband and parents.
24日に友人と二人で9時の回に参加しました。この日は海も穏やかで最初の回ということもあり、綺麗な海の中を見ることが出来とても楽しめました。主人や両親と旅行できる機会が有ればまた参加したいツアーです。

I made my first reservation for the standard tour at 10:00. I thought it would only be an audio guide in Japanese, but a narrator named Sean, who is fluent in Japanese, guided us. He has also lived in Aichi Prefecture, so his pronunciation was perfect, and he was well-versed in Japanese jokes and gags, making it a lot of fun. I definitely recommend the tour with a Japanese guide. I was worried that the windows were 20 centimeters smaller than the premium ones, but they were easy to see through.
Before the departure, I read Alan's post that said, "If you board from the back, you can enjoy the view from the captain's window, which is recommended," so I let others go ahead and boarded from the back, and it was indeed great. I was able to take a commemorative photo with Sean inside the submarine, and it was fun to chat with the captain when disembarking. However, when boarding, the staff will guide you from two locations, the bow and the stern, while counting the number of people, so please ask which is the bow before boarding from the back.
There were also three turtles (I saw two), and there were sharks, so I was lucky. Additionally, although I didn't use it, after disembarking, those who wished could take a bus to Ala Moana Shopping Center instead of returning to the hotel they boarded from, which is convenient. I highly recommend this tour.
10:00の回のスタンダードを予約して初めて参加しました。イヤホンのみで日本語ガイドがないと思っていたんですが、日本語の堪能なショーンというナレーターが案内してくれました。彼は愛知県に住んでいたこともあるので、発音も完璧で日本のジョークやギャグも詳しく、すごく楽しめました。ぜひ、日本語ガイドつきをおすすめします。窓の大きさがプレミアムより20センチ小さいのが心配でしたが、見やすかったです。
出発前にアランの書き込みで、「最後尾から乗ると船長専用の窓からも楽しめてお勧めです」とあったので、先を譲って最後尾から乗ってみましたが、やっぱり良かったです。ショーンとも潜水艦内で記念写真をとれたし、下船時には船長とも会話ができて楽しかったですよ。ただし、乗り込むときは船首と船尾の2箇所から、人数をカウントしながら係員が誘導するので、どちらが船首が聞いてから最後尾から乗ってくださいね。
亀も3匹いて(私は2匹見れました)、サメもいて運がよかったです。また、私は利用しませんでしたが、下船後希望者は乗車したホテルではなく、アラモアナSCへバスで向かうこともできたので、便利ですよ。是非お勧めのツアーです。

I can't believe that someone like me, who is not good with water, was able to take a walk on the ocean floor at a depth of over 30 meters! I was so glad to see turtles, small rays, and tropical fish. When boarding the submarine, if you get on last from the bow side, you can also enjoy the underwater view through the large window in front of the captain.
水が苦手な私が海面から30mあまりも深い海底散歩が出来るなんて!! 亀さんや小さいながらもエイや熱帯魚にも会えて良かったですよ。 潜水艦に乗り込む際は船首側から最後に乗り込むとキャプテンの前の大きな窓からも海中見学出来ますよ。

I boarded the earliest premium cruise. The announcements were in Japanese, and they were very entertaining, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The crew's Japanese was surprisingly good, with moments that made everyone laugh, so I think people of all ages can enjoy it. Not only did we see sea turtles, but we even got to see sharks. I am very satisfied.
一番早い時間のプレミアムに乗船しました。案内が日本語であったのですが、その案内がとても面白く、さらに楽しめました。船員の方の日本語はびっくりするくらい上手で、笑い所もあり、子供から大人までみんな楽しめると思います。そして海亀だけでなく、なんとサメまで見ることができました。とても満足です。

It was very crowded at the meeting place during summer vacation, making it hard to find. This was my first time on a submarine, but since I also dive, I felt it would have been much better to dive myself. My child got bored halfway through... Well, I guess the cost performance is about what you would expect? I think it's worth taking a ride for those who have never seen underwater. However, I cannot recommend it for those who dive.
夏休み中でもあり、集合場所が凄く込んでいてわかりずらかったです。
また、潜水艦には初めて乗りましたが、ダイビングもするので、実際自分で潜った方が何倍も良かったです。
子供も途中であきてしまって・・まあ、コストパフォーマンスはこんなものかな?という感じです。海の中を見たことがない方は、一度は乗船してみる価値はあると思います。ダイビングをする方にはおすすめできません。
