All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

I participated with my parents in their 70s and my family, a total of six people. I was worried about my father, as he has weak legs, when boarding the submarine, but my husband supported him, and he was able to get on. We were also able to see a large sea turtle, and my 4-year-old son was very happy. The staff were very kind, and it became a wonderful memory.

70代の両親と家族、全部で6人で参加しました。父が足が弱いので、潜水艦に乗り込む時が心配でしたが、主人がサポートして、乗り込むことが出来ました。大きな海亀も見ることが出来、4才の息子も大喜びでした。スタッフの方もとても親切にしてくださり、楽しい思い出になりました。

In the morning, I participated in a session with Japanese support. It seems that the waves were rough that day, and many people experienced seasickness on the boat ride to the submarine. However, once we submerged, the swaying eased, and I was able to observe the precious ecosystem off the coast of Waikiki, which was satisfying.

午前、日本語対応の回に参加しました。当日は波が荒かったようで、行きの船から潜水艦へ乗り込むまでに船酔いに遇われた方が多かったようです。それでも海中に潜れば揺れは和らぎ、ワイキキ沖の貴重な生態系を観察することができ、満足です。

The artificial reefs are arranged to attract fish properly, and I was able to see various fish and sea turtles without getting bored.

ちゃんと魚が集まるように、漁礁が配置されており、飽きることなくいろんな魚や海ガメが見れました。

The kids loved it. The ride out was fun, we saw several sea turtles swimming alongside the boat. The staff were friendly and helpful. My wife was slightly disappointed that the shipwrecks were all planted by Atlantis, but there were many more varieties of sealife than I expected. Overall, we all enjoyed it. This was our most expensive activity, but I am glad that we included it. We were on the larger, newer sub and the viewing ports were better than anticipated. My kids, ages 6 to 16, all enjoyed it.

Diving to the real seabed in a submarine... There are no particularly dangerous aspects or training required, so it's safe for families with small children to participate. On the ferry to the dive point, we even encountered dolphins, which was a nice surprise. The view on the water is great too! 😊

本当の海底に潜水艦で潜る・・・
特に危険なことも、トレーニングもありませんので、小さな子供連れでも安心して参加できます。ダイブポイントまでの連絡船では偶然とはいえイルカ達にも遭遇しました。洋上の景色もグーですね＾＾

The submarine was comfortable, but the children got seasick during the boat ride before boarding the submarine. The same happened on the way back. It might be better to take motion sickness medication in advance.

I participated in the Japanese language tour. The guide's Japanese was perfect, and the staff's response was good, making for a pleasant experience. However, compared to when I rode in Guam ten years ago, the clarity of the water and the number of fish were lacking. Those who have experienced it in Guam might feel a bit disappointed if they go with the same expectations. I think first-timers will enjoy it enough.

潜水艦は快適でしたが、潜水艦に乗る前の船での移動で子供たちが酔ってしまいました。帰りも同様。
事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうが良いかもしれません。

日本語時間に乗りました。ガイドさんの日本語は完璧、スタッフの対応も良く、気持ちよく参加できました。
ただ、10年前にグアムで乗った時と比べると海の透明度も魚の数も負けてます。グアムで乗ったことある人は同じ感覚で行くとちょっとがっかりします。初めての人は十分楽しめると思います。

My wife and I went on the Atlantis sub on Ohau. Transportation was on time. Your riding a boat out to the Sub. The sub doesn't come to the docks. We saw 3 sea turtles, 1 shark, 1 eel and countless diffierent types of fish. There is a depth guage up from by the captain. I'm not sure how deep it got but the deepest I saw was 84 feet. Temp was comfortable. It didn't rock like a boat. Very stable. The pressure didn't compress it. The ears never poped like an airplane. Very nice ride. I recemend it. Turn your flash off on the camera. Glass is so thick that even angle PICs gives flash back. Just turn off the flash.

My wife and I had a wonderful time , especially at the sub tour. Our guide was great! Wish we could have seen a few things out of the ordinary, such as mantas or turtles, but still some incredible sights to see!!!

I read that some people get seasick before boarding the submarine, so I took motion sickness medication in advance. However, depending on the weather on the day, it might not be necessary. In Hawaii, there are hardly any fish in areas without reefs, which was disappointing because the seawater wasn't as clear as I expected. However, I was lucky enough to encounter about 5 or 6 sea turtles, which some people might not get to see! I recommend sitting in the front on the right side facing the direction of travel for the best position.

潜水艦に乗り移る前の船で船酔いするとの書き込みがあったので事前に酔い止めの薬を飲んで参加しましたが、当日の天候によってはその必要は無いかもしれませんね、ハワイの海は魚礁のないところにはほとんど魚がいないんですね、海水が思っていた程澄んでいないのが残念でしたが、遭遇できない方もいらっしゃるという海亀に５~６匹も会えました（ラッキー！）
ベストポジションは進行方向右側の前の方の席がお薦めです。

It was an experience that can't be seen in Japan.
I think people of all ages, from small children to the elderly, can enjoy it.

日本では見られない体験でした。
小さい子からお年寄りまで十分楽しめると思います。

I was able to spend a time that felt truly Hawaiian.

ハワイらしい時間をすごせました。

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♪

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 had a great time we all enjoed our selves it is good for famlies as well as older people

It was interesting to see the submarine rise to the surface. Also, it was a great experience since you don't often get to see underwater. I was able to see a sea turtle too. It was a good experience.

潜水艦が浮かび上がってくるところがまず面白かった。
また、それ以外にも、海の中をみることってあまりない経験なのでよかったです。
海がめもみることができたし。いい経験です。

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.

初めての潜水艦で、潜水時のサイレンなど面白かった。
潜航時はあまり魚はいなかったけど、時々ある沈没船などには多くの魚がいました。
水がマリンブルーでとても綺麗でした。

We didn't see many fish, but the submarine was unusual, so the children were very happy.

魚はあまり見れませんでしたが潜水艦はめずらしいので子供たちは大喜びでした。

The staff's explanations in Japanese were easy to understand and sufficient for my 4-year-old daughter who participated with me. We were very excited to see many sea turtles. The only slight disappointment was that, although the waves were calm, the visibility wasn't as clear as I had expected.

スタッフの日本語の説明は聞き取りやすく、一緒に参加した4歳の娘にも十分な説明でした。たくさんの海ガメを見ることができ大興奮でした。少し残念だったのは、波も静かでしたが予想していたほどクリアには見えなかった事かな。

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。

日本語ガイドの時間がおすすめです。

The underwater world spreads out in the ocean. You can enjoy the waters of Waikiki. Personally, riding in a submarine was a great experience.

海中のアンダーワールドが広がります。ワイキキの海の中を楽しめます。個人的には潜水艦に乗ること自体が良い体験となりました。

I requested to add more people at the last minute, and they kindly accommodated us, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves. I thought we would only see fish, but we were also able to see a significant number of sea turtles swimming, which was a valuable experience.

直前で人数追加お願いしたのですが快く対応してくださり、皆楽しむことができました。
魚だけだと思っていたらかなりの数の海ガメの泳いでいる姿も見ることができ、貴重な体験ができました。

it was funfilled. the value for money is not upto the mark.

It was a very good experience and we enjoyed it a lot.

The tour was cool. The guide was extremely knowledgeable which made the tour more enjoyable. The marine life was awsome. I did not get seasick!!

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。

Unlike other tours, there were fewer people, and I was very satisfied.

他のツアーと違って、人数も少なく、大変満足でした。

There was hardly any rocking, and I didn't feel any seasickness, so I was able to enjoy myself. The food was great, with a whole lobster served, which made me very satisfied. If I had to say something, the photos taken were a bit expensive at $20... (This is the case at most main spots in Hawaii...)

ほとんどゆれることも無く、不安していた船酔いも全く無く、楽しむことができました。料理も、ロブスターが一匹まるまる出てきて、大満足。強いて言えば、いろいろと撮られた写真が20ドルと高い。。（ハワイの主なスポットではほとんどそうですが・・・。）

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。
