Waikiki
Loved it! We saw turtles, dolphins, tons of fish and the wide open sea!
There were no Japanese people other than us, but the atmosphere was enjoyable with families, couples, and people from various countries. The price included two free drinks, but we were told that there was no charge for the third drink, making it all-you-can-drink. Just make sure not to forget to give a tip to the staff instead of paying the bill. The sunset was wonderful, and I thought the night view after sunset was worth a million dollars.
日本人は我々以外居なかったが、家族連れやカップル、いろんな国からの人達で楽しい雰囲気だった。
代金には2フリードリンクでしたが、3杯目からも代金は要らないと言われ、飲み放題でした。
ただ代金の支払いの代わりにスタッフにチイップを渡すのは忘れないように。
サンセットは素晴らしく、日没後の夜景も100万ドルの価値があると思いました。

Lovely hike! The water and hiking stick as well as the bug spray that was provided, was greatly appreciated.
I wasn’t expecting much since it wasn’t a tour. The driver did drive by past places that have significance to President Obama. Beautiful waterfall! No need for a guide.
The experience of being on a submarine was good, but the waiting time was long, and I wished that photo opportunities were limited to those who wanted them.
The explanations were played in Japanese through headphones, but the live English voice was loud and overlapping, making it difficult to hear.
I didn't see many fish, and the colors weren't vivid. I understood well the importance of environmental protection.
潜水艦に乗れる経験は よかったが、待ち時間が長くて 写真撮影は、希望者だけにして欲しかった。
説明が日本語でヘッドホンから流れるけれど生の英語の声が大きくて重なり 聞き取りづらかった。
魚があまり見られなく、色も鮮明でなかった。環境保護の大切さは良くわかった、

First of all, motion sickness medication is a must!
The sea was incredibly beautiful and clear.
The sunken ships and airplanes were mysterious,
and there were lots of small fish! Of course, there were big fish too!
And above all, the guide was very humorous and made it fun.
At the end, a dolphin swam by briefly.
I wish I could have seen it a little closer.
まず酔い止めは必須！
めちゃめちゃ海がキレイで透き通っていました。
人工的に沈めた船や飛行機が神秘的で
小さい魚たちがいっぱいいました！もちろん大きい魚たちも！
そしてなんといっても案内役の方がとてもユーモアがあって楽しかったです。
最後にちらりとイルカが泳いでいました。
もうちょっと近くで見れたら良かったなー。

This was our second time on this cruise. The staff is great and the scenery is gorgeous! Highly recommend,
I'm glad I was able to see the sunken ships and airplanes, as well as many fish and sea turtles. Since the waves can be strong, I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to seasickness to bring motion sickness medication.
沈められた船や飛行機、たくさんの魚や海亀を見ることができて良かったです。
揺れが強いので、船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めを持参するといいと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in the submarine tour and for your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the underwater exploration. On days when the waves are strong, we recommend taking motion sickness medication. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again. Aloha!
この度はサブマリンツアーにご参加と書き込みをいただきまして誠にありがとうございます。海中探検をお楽しみいただだけたと伺い大変嬉しいです。波の揺れが強い日は、酔い止め薬の服用をおすすめ致します。またのご乗船をお待ちいたしております。アロハ！

The large-sized submarine allowed us to see the seabed clearly without feeling cramped, and we even spotted a turtle in the corner of a sunken ship.
Additionally, there were various fish that we could see vividly, which also impressed my wife.
大きいサイズの潜水艦圧迫感が無く鮮明に海底が見えて沈没船の隅に亀も見れました
又、魚も色々といて鮮明に見れて妻も感動しました。

A really great evening with a wonderful sunset and great views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Crew were excellent and fun. Would definitely recommend and will be doing again when in Honolulu
My boyfriend and I attended a morning cruise and it was an absolutely gorgeous day to set sail. Aside from the great weather and beautiful views, Captain Clifton (and his first mate) made the cruise even more enjoyable, with tons of informative facts and joke thrown into the mix. The boat was clean, the supply of drinks varied for adults and children and the day couldn't have been spent any better.
Thanks for the ride!
The weather was great, and the view of Diamond Head from the boat was amazing!! I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but the staff offered drinks and I was able to chat with other Japanese tourists... I had a really enjoyable time. Also, I was very lucky to see a turtle towards the end! I would like to use this service again.
とても天気が良く、船から見るダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした！！一人参加ということで少し不安もありましたが、スタッフさんは飲み物とか勧めてくれるし、日本人観光客とお話しすることもできたし…とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
あと終盤に亀を見ることができたのもとてもラッキーでした！
また利用したいと思います。

The Japanese guide starts at 10 AM.
You board the boat from the HGVC pier and head out to the submarine.
It's a 10-minute cruise, but you can see Waikiki from the ocean side, which is quite nice.
We dive to a depth of 100 feet, so you can see a lot of fish.
There are efforts made to attract the fish, and there was even a quite large turtle.
My 83-year-old mother also enjoyed it very much.
I think it's very worthwhile.
日本語ガイドは朝10時から開始です。
HGVCの桟橋からボートに乗って沖に出てサブマリンに乗船します。
10分ほどのクルーズですがワイキキを海側から見る事ができて
こちらもなかなかです。
深度100Fまで潜水しますので、かなり多くのお魚を見る事ができます。
魚を集める工夫がされており、かなり大きなカメまでいました。
83歳の母もとても楽しんでいました。
とても価値があると思います。

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we immediately enjoyed a sunset cruise. There were about 20 people, but only two of us were Japanese. We quickly got into the Hawaii mood, and the sunset was incredibly beautiful, leaving us absolutely thrilled. Since we weren't very hungry on the day we arrived, a light snack was more than enough. The crew members were bright and cheerful, and they talked to us a lot, which was great. There is absolutely no need to participate in a luxury cruise.
ハワイに着いた日に、即、サンセットクルーズを満喫。
20人程いましたが、日本人は私たち2人。一気にハワイモードになり、
かつ、サンセットがすごく綺麗で、最高に感激。
着いた日は、そんなに空腹感はないので、軽食で十分でした。
クルーの人たちは、明るく陽気で、一杯話しかけてくれて、
大変良かったです。豪華クルーズに参加する必要は全くないです。

The weather was great, and the waves were calm, so I was looking forward to enjoying a wonderful underwater walk. However, the water clarity was poor. The fish were sparse, and while the small fish entering and exiting the wreckage of ships and airplanes on the seabed were cute, there weren't as many varieties or numbers as I had hoped. Furthermore, at around 30 meters underwater, due to the relationship of sunlight with color wavelengths, even brightly colored fish appeared bluish overall, so I didn't feel the vividness typical of the southern seas, which was disappointing.
天気良し、波静かで絶好の海中散歩を楽しにみしていたけど、海中（海水）の透明度が悪い。
魚類がまばら、海底に沈めた船舶や飛行機の残骸（魚の住み家）に出入りする小魚は、可愛らしいが、期待したほどの種類や数が見られない。 さらに３０ｍくらいの海中では、太陽光は色彩波長の関係で、鮮やかな色合いの魚でも全体に青白くみえるため、南海の海といった鮮やかさは感じられず、残念でした。

On the second day in Hawaii, we chose a submarine as our first activity. We boarded the boat from the pier, looking forward to the blue sea, and headed to the transfer point for the submarine. The captain and other crew members walked around the boat, allowing us to take photos freely. We were lucky to encounter a sea turtle along the way.
However, the view of the sea from inside the submarine wasn't very clear, and perhaps due to bad timing, we could only see fish from a distance, which was a bit different from what we had expected. There were many participants from Europe and America, and the atmosphere was lively thanks to the English guide, but it seemed that those who didn't understand English felt a bit left out. I wished there had been a bit more entertainment value. The staff didn't speak Japanese, but they were all cheerful and very nice.
ハワイについて二日目、最初のアクティビティとして潜水艦を選択。
青い海に期待して桟橋から船に乗り込み、潜水艦との乗り換え地点まで行きます。
キャプテンや他のクルーが船内を回り、カメラ撮影を気軽にしてくれます。
途中でウミガメに出会えたのがラッキーでした。
潜水艦の中から見る海は、あまり透明感を感じず、タイミングが悪かったのか魚も遠目に見えただけで少し期待とは異なっていました。
艦内は欧米からの参加者も多く英語ガイドによって盛り上がっていましたが、英語がわからない人たちは少し取り残された感があったように思えます。
もう少しエンターテイメント感があったらいいのになと感じました。
スタッフは日本語を話せませんが、みなさん明るくいい方ばっかりでした。

We participated as a family of three: my husband, daughter, and two grandmothers. We chose this tour because I wanted to show my grandmother, who can't swim, the underwater world, and I also wanted to show my daughter the fish in the ocean from a submarine.
The guide was in English, so I couldn't understand much, but there were translated guide messages in various languages coming through the headphones inside the submarine, which was quite educational.
Since I have no experience diving, it was refreshing to see the sunken ships and planes that serve as homes for the fish.
It was nice to take a boat out to sea and then board the submarine; it felt like a bit of a bonus to be able to enjoy both experiences.
I thought it was a little cold inside the submarine.
夫婦＋娘＋祖母２名での参加でした。
泳ぐことが出来ない祖母に海中を見せたくて，また，娘に潜水艦で海の中の魚を見せたくてこのツアーを選びました。
ガイドが英語だったので全然わからなかったですが，艦内のヘッドフォンからは各国語に訳されたガイドメッセージが流れていたので色々と勉強になりました。
海に潜る経験がないので，廃船や廃飛行機が魚の住処として沈められているのを見ることができたのは新鮮でした。
船で沖合に出てそこから潜水艦に乗船できるのも，船にも乗れて少しお得な気分になりました。
艦内少し寒かったように思います。

Nice relaxing trip on the sailboat. You can walk around the boat, or even lay down on the mat. Sunset is nice if you are in to taking pictures.
Don't go for the appetizers: meatballs, chicken wings, and mix of crackers, just okay.
Lots of alcohol if you like to drink.
It was a tour I joined during my free time, and I was lucky to encounter a pod of dolphins by chance. I think it's relatively affordable and easy to participate in compared to other options in Hawaii.
空き時間に参加したツアーでしたが、偶然イルカの集団に遭遇できラッキーでした。
ハワイの中では比較的安価で参加しやすいと思います。

The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the boat was very beautiful. As the boat moved, the shape of Diamond Head changed, allowing us to see various perspectives of it. There were only about 15 participants that day, so we were able to relax comfortably. It was the best experience to enjoy sparkling wine while feeling the pleasant sea breeze!
船上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチがとてもきれいでした。
船の進行によってダイヤモンドヘッドの形が変わり、いろいろなダイヤモンドヘッドを見られました。
その日の参加者が15名程度で少なかったのでゆったりとくつろげました。

I decided to participate to excite my elementary school son, but my wife and I ended up being the ones who were excited. Since we had no experience with scuba diving, it was a lot of fun to dive into the ocean. Additionally, the guide had a great sense of humor, so I'm glad we joined. I highly recommend this for families!
小学生の息子を興奮させてみようと思い参加しましたが、私と妻の方が興奮してしまいました。スキューバなど未経験だったので、海に潜るというのが愉しかったです。
また、案内の人もユーモアだったので参加してよかったです。家族で参加にお薦めです!

Crew amazing. Sailing was an awesome time. Appetizers too! Who could possibly complain!
I was scheduled for a 9:10 pickup, but I overslept and woke up at 10:00... I hurriedly contacted them, and they quickly changed the time for me. The crew members were all fun people, and we encountered various creatures like turtles, sharks, and rays in the ocean. When I asked the kids what they enjoyed the most in Hawaii, they all shouted, "The submarine!" (^_^)
What started as a panic turned into a very enjoyable memory! I appreciate the kind assistance.
9:10ピックアップの予定が、二度寝して10:00…
焦って連絡を入れたところ、すぐに別の時間へ変更してもらえました。
乗員の方々も楽しい人ばかりで、海中ではカメやサメ、エイなど色々な生き物に出会えました。子供たちも、ハワイで何が一番楽しかった？と聞くと、潜水艦！と声を揃えていいます(^_^)
焦りから一転、とても楽しい思い出になりました！
親切な対応、感謝いたします。

We happened to attend on the one day it rained. luckily we weren't in the boat during heavy rain but it meant we could see the lovely island view from the boat due to the clouds and had to return slightly early. That said though, the crew was wonderfully and I still had a great time out on the water.
I was worried about getting seasick, so I took motion sickness medication after breakfast. I didn't get sick, but I was hit by an overwhelming drowsiness. The deeper we went, the darker it became, and the visibility wasn't that clear, so I dozed off and felt a bit out of it. If asked if I would go again, my answer would be NO. As mentioned in Manou Yamashita's book, in the morning, there were mostly Japanese people, so if you want to feel like you're abroad, I recommend the afternoon trips. In the morning, it was nice to have a Japanese guide and be able to listen to the explanations without headphones since there were many Japanese people... It was good that the shuttle bus dropped us off not at the original location, but partway, allowing us to get off in front of DFS without returning to the Sheraton. By the way, Manou recommended walking along the coast to the boarding area instead of taking the shuttle bus.
酔ってしまったら嫌だなあと思って、酔い止め薬を朝食後に飲みました。酔わなかったですけど、もの凄い眠気に襲われ、艦内は潜れば潜るほど暗くなるし、そこまで透明度も明瞭でないので、ウトウト、ぼーっとしてしまいました。もう1回行く？と聞かれたら、ＮＯ、です。山下マヌーさんの本に載っていた通り、午前中は、日本人がほとんどだったので、海外気分を感じたいのであれば、午後便がお勧めです。午前は、日本語ガイドになり、（日本人が多かったので）ヘッドフォンをつけずに解説を聞けるのは良かったと思いますが・・・。送迎バスの送りで、元の場所でなく、途中で、おろしてもらえたのは良かったです。（シェラトンまで戻らずにＤＦＳ前で降車できた）ちなみに、マヌーさんは、送迎バスで運んでもらうのではなく、海岸をずっと歩いて、乗船場まで行くことをオススメしていました。

I participated with my family and my 2-year-old nephew. I was nervous that there might be a height check since he was just barely 92 cm, but there was no check, and we were able to board without any issues.
The boat from the beach to the submarine sways quite a bit. We had to wait about 10 minutes for the submarine, and during that time, people who are prone to motion sickness felt quite nauseous on the swaying boat. Once we boarded the submarine, it was calm and steady once submerged.
Underwater, the visibility was poor, and we couldn't see many fish. There were fish around the artificially sunk feeding area. I was a bit disappointed because the photos on the website looked too beautiful, and I had that image in mind. Additionally, inside the submarine, we only listened to explanations through headphones, and there was hardly any interaction from the crew, which was a bit disappointing. However, the elementary school-aged children seemed to enjoy it.
2歳の甥と家族で参加しました。身長が92cmギリギリだったので乗る前に検査でもあったらどうしようとドキドキしてましたが、特に検査もなく何も言われずに乗れました。
浜辺から潜水艦までの船が揺れます。また潜水艦を待ってる時間が10分くらいあり、その間も揺れる船上で待機のため酔いやすい人はかなり気持ち悪くなってました。潜水艦に乗船し、沈んでしまえば揺れもなく穏やかです。
沈むと海の中は濁っておりあまり魚が見えませんでした。人工的に沈められた餌場の周りには魚がいます。ホームページなどの写真が綺麗すぎるのでそのイメージでいたのでがっかりです。また、潜水艦の中はヘッドホンで説明を聞くだけで乗務員さんからの話はほとんど無いのでそれも少し残念です。小学生くらいの子供は楽しんでいました。

While waiting to board the boat, I was surprised to see a turtle swimming! The view of Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful. The kids were also thrilled, which was great. The staff's guidance was entertaining as well.

I was moved to see the seabed of Waikiki from a submarine. I could clearly see schools of fish and various wreckage on the ocean floor.

We participated as a family of four. I joined 20 years ago and saw sea turtles and beautiful fish in their natural environment, so I wanted to show my children. However, the biggest point is that I didn't realize, since I didn't have kids last time, that the transfer boat to the submarine caused quite a bit of seasickness. It wasn't just us; many other participants were affected, and some adults were even down for the count. While the waves were a bit rough, the real issue seemed to be that we had to wait for about 15 minutes on a rocking boat while picking up people who had been on the submarine. The submarine itself doesn't rock at all.
The guide suggested taking motion sickness medication, but that doesn't help once you're on board. I think it would be better to clearly state in advance that "motion sickness medication is essential" for those who are prone to it. However, they might avoid mentioning this beforehand to maintain a good image.
Additionally, due to the deterioration of the natural environment in recent years, the beautiful coral reefs that were present 20 years ago have significantly decreased, and sea turtles are now rarely seen. The water is often murky (this is all based on what the guide said, so it's not just my impression). It seems that the views may not meet expectations anymore (this is my interpretation).
This tour has been popular for many years, but it might be reaching a transitional period. However, the staff and guides were very friendly.
One more point: when I made the reservation through Veltra, the voucher I received stated "this is not required to bring," but during the boarding process, they asked for proof of the reservation. I was glad I had printed it out just in case.
家族4人で参加しました。私は20年前に参加し、ウミガメや美しい魚が自然の環境で見られたので、子供たちにも見せようと思って参加したのですが・・。
まず最大のポイントは、前回は子供がいなかったので分からなかったのですが、潜水艦乗船までの間の乗り継ぎの船で、かなり船酔いしてしまうということ。我が家だけでなく、他の参加者にもかなり見られたし、中には大人でダウンしている人もいました。確かに少し波は粗いのですが、プレミアムと一般のツアーの乗船場所を回って行く点と、前の回に潜水艦に乗っていた人を帰りのためにピックアップするので、その間15分くらい、揺れる船の上で静止したまま待たないといけないのが辛かったようです。潜水艦自体は全く揺れません。
ガイドの人は酔い止めの薬を飲むよう呼びかけてはいますが、乗船後では何の役にも立ちません。船に弱い人のために、もっと強く事前に「酔い止め必携」を明記した方がいいと思います。ただこれを事前に出すとイメージが悪いので出さないのかもしれないですが・・・。
あと、近年は自然環境の悪化で、20年前はキレイだったサンゴ礁がかなり減り、またウミガメも減ってめったに見られなくなっている上に、海水が濁ることも多い（これらはすべてガイドさんが言っていたことなので、私の印象や創作ではありません）そうで、期待通りの眺望が得られなくなっていることも多いようです（ここは私の解釈）。
長年人気のツアーですが、そろそろ過渡期を迎えているのかもしれないですね。ただ、スタッフ、ガイドさんはとてもフレンドリーでした。
もう1点、ヴェルトラさんで予約をした際に返信されたきたバウチャーには「これは持参不要」とありましたが、乗船手続きの際には予約を取った証拠の提出を求められました。念のためプリントアウトしたものを持っていっておいてよかったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the Atlantis Submarine Tour.
I understand that you were hoping for your child to have the same experience, and it must have been disappointing that the views and services did not meet your expectations.
Regarding the boat transfer to the submarine that you mentioned, you are correct that it takes about 15 minutes, and I apologize for not providing this information on the tour page. To prevent similar inconveniences, we have promptly updated the tour page. We have also included information about seasickness on the voucher, so I would appreciate it if you could check that in advance.
As for the voucher, some guests do bring it with them, so we confirm it on the day of the tour, but please rest assured that you can participate by simply confirming the name used for the booking and the number of participants.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.
