This time, my youngest child was just tall enough to meet the height requirement, so we were able to ride a submarine for the first time! We traveled by boat to board the submarine, and it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. I was worried about getting seasick, but I managed to board the submarine without any issues. The underwater view was not as clear as I had expected, and as I had heard, the coral was in a dying state, which gave me a different impression of the underwater world than I had imagined. It was interesting to see planes and ships that had been intentionally sunk, and there were fish and sea turtles around them. It felt a bit like being in a modern-day Urashima Taro story!
今回、末っ子も身長制限をぎりぎりクリアできていたため、初の潜水艦に乗ることができました☆潜水艦に乗り込むところまで船で移動するのですが、海上からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができよかったです。心配していた船酔いもせず、潜水艦に乗りました。海の中は、思っていたよりもクリアではなく、珊瑚も死んでいる状態と聞いていたとおり、思っていた海の世界と違った印象を受けました。わざと沈めたという飛行機や船などがあり、そこに魚たちや海がめがいたのがおもしろかったです。ちょっとした浦島太郎気分でした♪

This summer, I participated with my family. It was our third time on a catamaran, but our first time riding one in Waikiki. The price is quite reasonable, and you can truly enjoy the essence of an overseas resort, so I definitely recommend joining. On a catamaran, you can experience a refreshing feeling that you can't get on larger ships, and since there are relatively few Japanese people on the tour, I think you'll really feel like you're abroad!
今年の夏に家族で参加。カタマランは今回で3回目でしたがワイキキで乗るのは初めてでした。値段的にも安く海外リゾートの醍醐味を味わえるので是非参加をお勧めします。カタマランは大型船では味わえない爽快感を味わうことができますし、比較的日本人がいないツアーなので海外に来たことを実感できるとおもいますよ!

I participated in the 9 o'clock session with a friend. It was quite empty, so we were able to sit comfortably inside the submarine. We saw sea turtles multiple times, and it was interesting to experience the blue world. The diving time was longer than I expected, lasting about an hour. However, the noise from the motor at the back of the submarine was terrible, and I could hardly hear the explanations, which was disappointing. I recommend sitting at the front in the direction of travel.
友達と2名で、9時スタートの回に参加しました。
結構空いていたので、潜水艦内はゆったりと座れました。
海ガメも何度も見れたし、ブルーの世界を体験できて面白かったです。潜水時間も思ったより長く、1時間くらいありました。ただ艦内後ろ側のモータ?音がひどくて説明がほとんど聞き取れなかったのが残念でした。進行方向の前側に座るのがお勧めです。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon this time.
At my husband's request, we booked Atlantis.
On the day of the trip, it was clear and sunny, and we took a blue shuttle bus to the beach in the Ala Moana area where there was a pier.
We started at 10 AM, and there were many Japanese people.
The staff were also Japanese, and their explanations were easy to understand.
After boarding the boat, it took about ten minutes to reach the location of the submarine.
The sea sparkled, and we had a great view of Diamond Head!
When we boarded the submarine, it was almost full inside.
The one-hour underwater exploration was mystical, and the 10 AM tour included explanations in Japanese, making it easy to understand the names of tropical fish and the sunken ships in the sea.
We were also able to see sea turtles!
The round trip on the boat made me a little seasick, but it became a wonderful memory.
今回ハネムーンでハワイに行きました。
旦那さんの希望で、アトランティスを予約しました。
当日は快晴で、青い送迎バスにてアラモアナ方面のビーチへいくと桟橋がありました。
私たちは10時開始でしたが、日本人の方が多かったです。
スタッフの方も日本人で説明も分かり易かったです。
船に乗り込み潜水艦がある場所まで役10分。
海がきらきらとして、ダイヤモンドヘンドもばっちり望めました!
いざ潜水艦へ乗り込むと艦内はほぼ満席でした。
1時間の海底探検は神秘的でした、10時の回は日本語での説明つきで熱帯魚の名前や海の沈んでいる船等の解説は分かりやすかったです。
海がめも見ることができました!
往復の船はちょっぴり船酔い気味でしたが、とてもいい思い出になりました。

It was interesting to experience the sirens during the dive on the submarine for the first time. There weren't many fish while submerged, but there were a lot of fish around some sunken ships we encountered. The water was a beautiful marine blue.

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I have exhausted all the optional tours featured in magazines. I participated with my husband and our two sons, who are in middle and elementary school, making a total of four of us. I had always wanted to experience sailing on a large yacht after seeing others enjoy it, and with the kids' request for snorkeling, we decided on this tour.
Since it was during the Obon holiday, half of the participants were Japanese families. There were no Japanese staff on the tour, and all explanations on the yacht were in English.
We walked to the meeting point, which was easy to find. The yacht departed on time. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at our destination off the coast of Waikiki, where we received instructions on how to use the goggles and floats, as well as information about the fish we would see. We then enjoyed an hour of snorkeling. The wind was calm, and there was little rocking; the water was clear, allowing us to see many small and large black fish. Our underwater camera was put to good use. On the yacht, soft drinks were available for $1 and beer for $3. The remaining time was spent sailing back while enjoying the views of Waikiki. We went quite far out and close to Diamond Head, where dolphins and turtles approached the yacht.
I had some anxiety about signing up since there were no participant reviews, but I truly felt it was a great decision to join this tour.
今回は8回目のハワイで、雑誌に掲載されているようなオプショナルツアーは行きつくしている贅沢モンです。
夫婦と中学生・小学生の男子、合計4人で参加しました。以前から大きなヨットでセーリングを楽しむ人々を見て、いつか私も体験したいと思っていたツアーでした。子供たちのリクエストもあってシュノーケリング付きの、このツアーに決めました。
お盆の時期だったので、参加者の半分は日本人のファミリーでした。ツアーのスタッフに日本人はいません。ヨット上での説明もすべて英語です。
集合場所まで徒歩で向かいました。場所はすぐに分かります。時間通りにヨットは出発しました。20分ほどで目的地のワイキキ沖に着き、ゴーグルや浮きの使い方や見える魚の説明があり、その後1時間シュノーケルを楽しみました。風も穏やかで揺れも少なく、海の透明度は良く大小の黒い魚がたくさんみえました。持参の水中カメラが活躍しました。ヨットの上で、ソフトドリンク1ドル・ビール3ドルで買えます。残りの時間は、ワイキキ沖をセーリングしながら帰ります。かなり沖の方やダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行きました。その時、ヨットの近くにイルカやカメがよってきました。
参加体験談が無かったので申し込み時には不安もありましたが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。

Quite an experience and probably the best time of our trip to Honolulu. We experienced snorkeling with turtles as advertised, one even came up for air in the middle of the four of us. My teenagers were quite excited. On top of that we got to see dolphins that swam with us and around our boat, which is very unusual. The crew were great and very helpful, knowledgeable and upbeat. We had so much fun we went back for the afternoon cruise the next day and had a great time drinking (adults), singing and splashing thru the waves. Also got to see more dolphins along side and a school of fish skimming up on the surface, very cool. We highly recommend this tour and operator.

The boat ride to the submarine was pleasant, and it was interesting since it was my first experience on a submarine.
The waves were strong, so the water was murky, but it was still nice to see fish and turtles.
It can be a bit rocky, so those who are prone to motion sickness might get seasick quickly.
I recommend the Japanese guide option.
潜水艦までの船も気持ちが良くて、潜水艦も初体験なので面白かったです。
波が強かったので、水中も濁ってしまっていましたが、それでも魚やカメも見れて良かったです。
揺れるので、乗り物に弱い方はすぐ酔ってしまうと思います。

I participated in the dive on January 17th at 11 AM. Unlike the day before when I was informed that the tour was canceled, we were blessed with good weather. The female staff at the pier explained, "Many people get seasick before we reach the open sea due to the high waves, so we sell motion sickness medication on board." It was a bit late for that! I was well-prepared and ready to participate. As expected from a surfing mecca, the boat heading out to sea experienced quite a bit of rolling and pitching. Many people started to feel unwell quite quickly. After a little over 10 minutes, we arrived at the location for the submarine's ascent. We had to wait on the rocking boat for about 15 minutes before boarding after the 10 AM dive guests disembarked. I realized that it’s better to board as late as possible from the front entrance so you can also see what’s happening from the cockpit. I recommend choosing a dive with live Japanese narration. Although the visibility wasn’t perfect, I was satisfied that I could see the blue sea at a depth of 30 meters where light still reached. After disembarking, the female staff at the pier said, "It seems most of the guests got seasick, but you all are okay." The waves were higher than they appeared, and it seems that the afternoon dive was canceled.
Since seasickness can ruin the experience of a dive, please make sure to take proper precautions against it before participating.
1/17日11時ダイプに参加。催行中止となったと聞かされた前日とは違い、好天に恵まれる。桟橋の女性係員が「波が高いので沖合に出るまでに船酔いする人が多いから、酔い止め薬を船内でも売っています」と説明。いまさら遅い!よ。当方準備万端整えて参加しているもんと余裕。サーフィンのメッカだけあって沖合に向かう船はそれなりのローリングとピッチング。はやくも気分を悪くする人多数。10分少々でサプマリン号の浮上場所に到着。10時ダイブの客を降ろした後に乗り込む事になるので揺れる船上で待機すること15分ほど経過。乗り込んで分かったことだが、先頭側入口からなるべく遅く乗る方が操縦席からの様子も見れて良いと思う。また、日本語のナレーションを生で聞ける回のダイブを選択するのがお勧めです。鮮明とはいかないながらも、30メートルの深さでも光が届き、青い海を覗くことが出来たので満足。下船後、桟橋の女性係員「ほとんどのお客さんが酔ったらしいけど、あなたたち大丈夫」と声をかけてきた。見た目以上に波が高く、その日の午後のダイブは催行中止になったらしい。
船酔いではせっかくのダイブも楽しめないので、船酔い対策をしっかりとして参加してください。

At the time of departure, I thought it would be canceled due to heavy rain, but the rain stopped during the hike, and we were able to go ahead with it. Because of the weather, we couldn't see the sunrise beautifully, but I thought the experience of climbing Diamond Head was valuable. We returned to the hotel before 8 AM, which was also a plus as it meant we didn't waste any time.
出発時は、大雨で中止かと思いましたが、登山中に雨はやみ、なんとか実施できました。日の出は、天気のせいもあり、綺麗にみることはできませんでしたが、ダイアモンドヘッドを登れる経験は貴重だと思いました。8時前にはホテルに戻ってきて、時間も無駄にならない点も良。

I participated in the morning tour. The live commentary is in Japanese, so I recommend it. They teach you about sea turtles and native Hawaiian fish, and talk about the relationship between the depth of the ocean and its color, making it both educational and enjoyable.
You travel by boat to the submarine boarding area. On days with higher waves, it can be quite bumpy, so it's best to take motion sickness medication in advance.
午前中のツアーに参加しました。午前中は日本語でのライブ解説なので、おすすめです。ウミガメやハワイ固有種の魚を教えてくれたり、海の深度と色の関係のお話などしてくれて、理科の勉強にもなり楽しいですよ。
潜水艦の乗り場までは、ボートで移動します。波が高めの日は、結構揺れますので、事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がよいです。

I'm not very good at diving, and since I can't snorkel or dive, I chose to go on a submarine. We traveled along the seabed off the coast of Hawaii, where I could see fish and turtles up close, and in addition, we got to see planes and ships that sank during the war, which was a great experience. Also, since I don't often have the chance to ride a submarine, it was a wonderful experience. The moment the submarine emerged from the water was particularly impressive! I had a lot of fun!!
