All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

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.

ただ、船や潜水艦の上から見る景色は大変に綺麗で良い写真が撮れ、子供も喜んでました。

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.

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.

翌日は、出港時のビーチで砂遊びをして大満足でした。

My parents paid a lot of money to participate, but they said the sea was murky and there were no fish. It's disappointing.

せっかく高いお金を払って両親が参加しましたが、海が濁っていて魚がいないといっていました。
残念です。

Very comfortable way to see marine life in its natural habitat - no diving course required. My only complaint is that is that it was over way too quickly, but then you can always go again.

I thought it was rare to ride a submarine, so I participated. The shuttle bus arrived a bit later than scheduled and took us to the sea.

Near the coral reef, we were able to see fish and a few sea turtles. Since we hadn't planned to snorkel, it was great to see the fish swimming in the sea. Participating with my family made for some wonderful memories with photos.

I recommend bringing a jacket as it can get cold in the submarine.

潜水艦に乗ることも滅多にないと思い、参加しました。
送迎付きバスは、やや予定時間より遅くつき、海まで送迎してもらいました。

サンゴ礁の近くでは魚も見れて、ウミガメも数匹見れました～
シュノーケル等する予定がなかったため海で泳ぐ魚が見れたので良かったです。
家族で参加だったため、写真もいい思い出になりました。

潜水艦が寒いので上着を持っていくことをお勧めします。

Saw lots of fish and sea turtles! The guides were very informative.

I really looked fwd to seeing a magnificent show under water of the colorful fish that swim in the area. I just sat on the wrong side of the SUB. Who knew????

It felt like it started and ended somewhat aimlessly. It must be great for children and the elderly.

なんとなく始まりなんとなく終わった感じです。
お子さんとかお年寄りにはとてもいいんでしょうね。

The tour is for everybody. I think it'll be more species but it's a good one to go with children.

We spent Christmas in Hawaii and went on this excursion and absolutely loved it!!! The crew was fabulous and we would do this excursion again!!! Saw a turtle and a shark and lots of other cool stuff!!! Great excursion to do 1st!!! Some folks may need a little dramimine for motion sickness, however, you don't even notice how far down you are, it's amazing!!!

We had an absolutely amazing venture and would definitely recommend this for anyone upgrade to the premium sub it's worth the extra money

We had a great time on the submarine! Our guide was the best.

This fella was awesome! Not only funny but intelligent and insanely fearless! Loved listening to him and his crew. Very amazing people, ask questions, was a terrific time!!

It wasn't exactly as I imagined, with an abundance of always beautiful fish, but the experience of riding in a submarine is something you don't get to do often, so I'm glad I participated. I joined with my 80-year-old mother, and we were able to enjoy it without any issues.

想像していた程、常に綺麗なお魚がいっぱいというわけでは有りませんでしたが、潜水艦に乗るという体験は中々出来る事ではないので、参加して良かったと思います。80歳の母と参加しましたか問題なく楽しめました。

It was my first submarine tour, and the interior wasn't too cramped, plus the windows were large, so we had a great time. My elementary school daughter was also very excited and happy.

They mentioned a commemorative Atlantis Dive Log (dive record) as a gift, but we were just directed to the exit and didn't receive it. I wonder if I should have said something. (I did receive information about Atlantis Submarine, but I wonder if this counts as a boarding memento?)

初めての潜水艦ツアーでしたが、艦内はそれほど狭くもなく窓も大きく楽しく過ごせました。
小学生の娘も大興奮で喜んでいました。

搭乗記念のアトランティス・ダイブログ（潜水記録）をプレゼント!…とありましたが、そのままお帰り口へ案内され、いただけませんでした。
言わないとだめだったんでしょうか。
(アトランティスサブマリンのご案内はもらったのですが、これが搭乗記念になるのかな？)

I think there aren't many opportunities to ride a submarine, even if it's smaller than the underwater world in Hawaii, so I decided to participate. It's great! The kids will enjoy it too! It doesn't take much time either.

ハワイの海底云々より小さくても潜水艦てなかなか乗る機会ないとおもい参加しました。良いですよ！子供達も喜びますし！時間もそんなにかからないので。

a must do experience when visiting Hawaii. excellent staff. have already reccomended this to friends and family.

The Hilton Hawaiian Village, Prince Hotel, and Ilikai do not require shuttle service. I was unaware that the boarding for the submarine departs from the pier at the beach near the Hilton Hawaiian Village.

The shuttle was 15 minutes late. It took a long time to pick up customers in downtown, and it took 45 minutes to return to our accommodation (which was about a 5-minute walk from the shuttle bus pickup point).

Yes, the pier was right behind the beach. Although I didn't know, it felt like a waste of precious time on a sleepy morning. Since it was the first tour of the day, all the customers were Japanese, and it was lucky that it was not crowded early in the morning.

When I checked upon arrival, it seemed that there were many Westerners joining later, and it looked quite crowded. The submarine tour was as good as I imagined. The Japanese-speaking staff were of Japanese descent, and it might have been a bit fast for my 5-year-old child. However, it was helpful to have it in Japanese.

Thank you very much.

ヒルトンハワイヤンビレッジ、プリンスホテル、イリカイなどは、送迎は不要です。潜水艦へ向かうボードは、ヒルトンハワイヤンビレッジ付近のビーチの桟橋から出てくるのを知らずでした。
送迎は、15分遅れでした。
で、延々とダウンタウンをお客様を乗せて、45分かかって、滞在先（お迎えのバスの乗場から歩いて5分くらい）に戻ってきました。
そうです。
桟橋は直ぐ裏のビーチでした。
知らなかったとはいえ、眠い朝の貴重な時間がもったいなかったです。
朝一のツアーでしたので、お客様全員が日本人でしたし、朝早いので空いててラッキーでした。
到着したときに確認しましたが、後から参加の方は、欧米人が多く、かなりぎゅうぎゅうのように見受けられました。潜水艦ツアーは想像通り良かったです。日系人の日本語で、5歳の子どもには少し早口だったかも。ですが、日本語で助かりました。
ありがとうございました。

I boarded the submarine expecting an underwater stroll in the waters of Hawaii, but to be honest, I was disappointed. The water was murky, making it hard to see, and my whole family got bored halfway through. Additionally, the commentary in Japanese was repetitive, which eventually made us feel sleepy. The father from the family next to us fell asleep partway through. I wish they had considered different diving spots when planning the tour.

潜水艦に乗ってハワイの海中散歩を期待して乗船しましたが、正直がっかりしました。海中が濁っていてよく見えず、家族全員途中で飽きてしまい、また日本語での解説も同じことの繰り返しで最後は眠気を催しました。隣の家族連れのお父さんは途中から眠ってしまいました。もう少し潜る場所を考えてツアーを企画してほしかったです。

Tight seating. Hard time hearing due to other loud people
