All Reviews for Marine Wildlife Encounters

When the submarine dives, it becomes stable and comfortable. There were many fish around the coral reefs and sunken ships, which was enjoyable. Above all, I was thrilled when a sea turtle swam right in front of me—there were several of them! I think this is an experience you can't have often, so I recommend trying it at least once.

潜水艦が潜航すると揺れなくなるので快適です。
魚しょうや沈没船の周りには、多くの魚がいて楽しかったです。なんと言っても突然目の前でホヌが泳いできたのは、感激しました。それも、何匹も。なかなか経験できないと思うので一度体験しましょう。

"We got no troubles, life is the bubbles, under the sea!" It was inevitable that "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid would be playing through my head on this tour. I've always been fascinated by ocean life and would love to someday learn how to scuba dive...but until then, this submarine tour is the perfect--and only--way to explore the world under the sea.
The shuttle out to the dive site not only provided great views of Diamond Head and Waikiki, but also gave us the chance to see exactly where we'd be descending and what part of the bay we'd be exploring.
I've actually done this tour twice and enjoyed it just as much the second time. On both tours we saw sea turtles, star fish, and tons of fish in various shapes, sizes, and colors. During the second tour we also got the chance to see two scuba divers exploring one of the sunken ships.
The crew were all very friendly and knowledgeable and provided lots of interesting facts and details about what we were seeing.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing a completely different world, so unlike what we see every day on land. Take Sabastian's advice and go "under the sea!"

We will travel by boat until we board the submarine. The weather was clear, and I truly felt the essence of Hawaii with the stunning scenery. The boat had restrooms and air conditioning.
We will transfer from the boat to the submarine on the water.
Inside the submarine, there were two rows of benches in the center, facing the windows from the bow to the stern. It didn't feel cramped.
However, the view from the crucial windows was disappointing. I could hardly see anything. The visibility was about 15 meters, and there were only a few moments when fish were visible. I did see a sunken fighter jet and a shipwreck on the seabed.
Including waiting and travel time, you should plan for about three hours. Additionally, it costs over 10,000 yen per person.
It might be better to consider other activities.

潜水艦に乗るまで、船で移動します。晴天で、大変素晴らしい光景に　ハワイらしさを実感しました。船には、トイレも有り、冷房も有りました。
海上で　船から潜水艦に乗りかえます。
潜水艦の内部は、中央にベンチが二列　船首から船尾まで　背中合わせに　窓に向かって設置してありました。窮屈感は無かったです。
肝心な窓からの景色は、期待外れでした。　ほとんど　何も見えません。視界は15m程度でその中に魚がいる時間は、ほんのわずかでした。海底に沈む戦闘機や沈没船は見れました。
待ち時間や移動時間を含めると3時間は見ておく必要が有ります。　また、一人1万円を超えます。　
他のアクティビティを検討した方が良いかもしれません。

I participated in a submarine tour for the first time this time. Exploring the seabed in the submarine was beautiful and fun. It was a great tour where I even got to see sea turtles.

今回初めての潜水艦ツアーに参加させてもらいました。
潜水艦での海底探索は、景色が綺麗で楽しかったです。
海亀にもあえて良いツアーでした。

Disappointed to not see any whales, dolphins, pretty marine fish. Captain should skip the corny puns. Beautiful boat ride but not as advertised.

I went with a second grader and a preschooler. It was a wonderful tour. A woman who spoke Japanese kindly explained various things to us. On the boat to the submarine, we saw one turtle and three whales very close by. The way the submarine appeared was very dramatic. After diving, we encountered sharks, turtles swimming side by side, and pufferfish, and on the way back, we clearly saw the tail of a whale right next to our boat.

小学2年生と年中さんと行きました。とても素晴らしいツアーでした。日本語を話せる女の人がとても親切に色々説明もしてくれました。
潜水艇に乗るまでの船で、すぐ近くに亀1匹、鯨3頭いました。潜水艇の登場の仕方もとてもドラマチックでした。沈んでからサメや並んで泳ぐ亀、河豚などにも出会え、また帰りの船のすぐ横で、鯨の尻尾がはっきり見えました。

We went out to sea to board a submarine, but on the day of the trip, the waves were high, and my wife ended up with severe seasickness. According to her, "I didn't have any opportunity to see the fish at all..." Personally, I found it to be a simple yet enjoyable experience of boarding a submarine, and the fish were beautiful. I was very happy to see a turtle swimming.

潜水艦に乗るために、沖合へ出るのですが、当日は波が高かったせいか、妻がひどい船酔いになってしまいました。本人曰く、「全く魚などを見る余裕はなかった・・・」との事でした。
個人的には潜水艦の乗艦を簡易的に体験できるし、魚もきれいでした。泳いでいる亀を見ることが出来たのはとても嬉しかったです。

I got seasick on the boat to the submarine. I'm prone to motion sickness, so I prepared by bringing a bag for vomiting, but I ended up not needing it. There were plenty of bags for vomiting inside the submarine, but it hardly swayed, so I didn't feel nauseous. I saw three turtles and two sharks. It's all about luck, really.

潜水艦まで行く船で酔いました。元々酔いやすいので覚悟はして嘔吐用の袋をもって行きましたが使用せずにすみました。
潜水艦の中に嘔吐用の袋が沢山ありましたが、ほとんど揺れないので気持ち悪くなりませんでした。
亀は3匹、鮫は2匹みられました。
こればっかしは運ですね。

I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience being on a submarine. It was great to see sea turtles. There weren't any surprising events, but you can enjoy a relaxed time.

潜水艦に乗る機会はあまりないので経験できてよかったです。ウミガメが見れたので良かったです。ほかはびっくりするようなイベントは有りませんがゆったりとした時間を味あえます。

On the day of the trip, the weather was nice and the waves were calm, so neither the ferry nor the submarine rocked. The underwater visibility in Hawaii was excellent, allowing us to see far into the distance. By chance, we were able to see three sea turtles, which was great. It might have been coincidental, but during the early hours, there were many Japanese tourists, so the main guide conducted the tour primarily in Japanese. I appreciated that the staff discreetly explained to the few non-Japanese passengers before boarding that the main guide would be in Japanese.

　当日は天気が良く波が静かで、渡し船も潜水艇も揺れませんでした。ハワイの海底は、透明度が非常によく遠くまで見ることが出来ました。偶然にも、海亀を３匹見ることが出来よかったです。たまたまかもしれませんが、早い時間帯は日本人が多いのでガイドもメインは日本語でした。スタッフが日本人以外の少数派に、乗船前にメインのガイドは日本語でやることをこっそり説明しており好感できます。

I'm glad I got to see the ocean in Hawaii! I had the impression that there were many families around, and it might depend on the sea conditions, but I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish.

ハワイの海の中を見れてよかったです！
家族連れが多いイメージで、海のコンディションによると思うのですが、魚が少なかったのが少し残念でした。

I participated with my wife and two daughters, but it was quite difficult because my wife got drunk. The submarine itself is stable, but the waves while transferring from the shuttle boat to the submarine are quite intense. If you're not confident on boats, it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case. As for the tour, we were able to see sea turtles this time, and the kids were thrilled. What you can see depends on luck, though.

妻と娘二人で参加しましたが、妻が酔ってしまい大変でした。
潜水艦自体は安定しているんですが、送迎線から潜水艦に乗り移る間が水面のうねりが凄いです。
船に自信がある方以外は、念のため酔い止めを飲んで挑んだ方が良いです。
肝心のツアーですが、今回はウミガメも見れて子供達は大喜びでした。
何が見れるかは、運次第ですが。

You have plenty of time on the submarine to fully enjoy the scenery underwater. I was able to see sharks and sea turtles! (Maybe I was just lucky.) The elementary school children also seemed to have fun looking for fish. The boat before switching to the submarine swayed quite a bit, so I noticed a few people feeling seasick before the main event. I recommend taking motion sickness precautions for those who are not confident on boats.

潜水艦に乗っている時間はたっぷりあり、海の中の景色を十分楽しめます。鮫やウミガメも見れました！（運が良かったのかも。）小学生の子どもたちも魚を探したり楽しそうでした。潜水艦に乗り換える前の船が結構揺れるので、メインイベントの前に船酔いしている人もちらほら見かけました。船に自信のない人は酔い止め対策をおすすめします。

Motion sickness medication is a must. The view from the boat is great, and riding in the submarine is fun, but there weren't many fish on the seabed... I thought they had artificially created a fishing ground on the sandy bottom. It's a 45-minute experience of watching the little fish gather there. Since it takes about three hours, please weigh it against other events you want to do before deciding to participate!

酔い止めは必須です。船からの眺めは良いし、潜水艦に乗るのも楽しいのですが、海底に魚は…あまりいませんでした。
もともと砂地に人工的に魚場を作ったんだなと思いました。そこに集まる小さなお魚達を見つめる45分です。
時間は３時間ほど取られるので、他にやりたいイベントと天秤かけて参加を決めて下さいね！

The transparency of the sea was not great. I was hoping there would be a few more fish, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. There weren't enough headphones, and there weren't any available for us.

海の透明度がいまいち。
もう少し魚がいるのかなぁ、と期待していまさしたが、残念でした。
ヘッドホンの数が足りておらず、私たちの分がありませんでした。

The submarine was a bit offshore, and it took about 10 minutes to get there by boat, but the view of Diamond Head and the beach from the boat was amazing. The wreckage of the submarine, along with the remains of ships and walkers that have been sunk to create a reef, was impressive. I also learned about the efforts to protect Hawaii's marine environment, which made me realize once again the importance of preserving nature. While most of the fish were small, we encountered a sea turtle along the way, making it a memorable experience.

潜水艦が少し沖にあり10分程度船で移動しますがその時の船上から見るダイヤモンドヘッド、ビーチの景色は最高でした。潜水艦も海底に沈めた、船とか歩行器の残骸の漁礁が印象的でした。またハワイの海の自然を守る活動を聞いて努力して維持していること知り改めて自然を守る大切さを感じました。魚は小さいものが中心ですが、途中でウミガメにも遭遇し、印象に残る体験でした。

We took a boat to the submarine, and it felt great to look at Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. However, the submarine experience was more about staring at the blue ocean rather than seeing a variety of colorful fish, which might get boring towards the end. Additionally, the monotone of the Japanese audio guide made me gradually feel sleepy while listening.

潜水艦に乗るところまでは船で向かい、海からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めて気持ち良かったです。潜水艦は色とりどりの魚が見られるというよりも、ブルーな海中をずっと見ている感じで後半は飽きてくるかもしれません。さらに日本語オーディオガイドのトーンが単調なせいか、聞いていると次第に眠くなってしまいました。

I was glad to see a large giant trevally and colorful fish gathering around the artificial reef. I also got to see a honu (sea turtle) at the end!

大きなギンガメアジをはじめ、カラフルな魚が人工漁礁で群れている姿を見ることが出来て良かったです。最後にホヌも見れました！

We take a boat out to the submarine. We glide past canoes and surfers, enjoying views of Honolulu's beaches and cityscape, as well as Diamond Head from the sea before boarding. We also enjoyed a short cruise. At the bottom of the ocean, there are not only fish but also sea turtles and eels...

潜水艦に乗る沖合まで船で行きます。
カヌーや波乗りの横をすり抜け、ホノルルのビーチと街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドを海側から眺めてから乗船です。短い時間のクルーズも楽しめました。
海の底には、魚のほかにもウミガメやウツボも、、、

Friendly and knowledgeable staff and lots to see on this tour.

There were various happenings before boarding the submarine, which was quite amusing. Exploring underwater in the submarine was very enjoyable, and the children were wide-eyed watching. The fish swarming around the artificial reef and the sea turtles looked very cute. I would love to see it again with my family.

潜水艦に乗るまでに色々ハプニングあり面白かったです。
潜水艦で海中探索とても楽しく子供たちが目を丸くして見ていました、
人工漁礁に群がる魚や、ウミガメがとても可愛く見ていました、また家族で見たいと思います。

It swayed more than I imagined! It was a day with not much wind, but we were rocked quite a bit by the waves, so I think motion sickness medication is a must. As long as you don't get seasick, I think it's a very enjoyable tour! ☺︎

想像以上に揺れました！そんなに風がない日でしたが、かなり波に揺られたので酔い止めは必須だと思います。酔いさえしなければとても楽しめるツアーだと思います☺︎

from start to finish a must do for families wanting that extra fun activity to do. picked up from central location from hotel and dropped off at pier. very organized after drop off and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. my daughter and I enjoyed the vessel and the captain doing narration & made it fun

Coral has settled on the sunken aircraft and ship right in front of me, and colorful fish are swarming around, allowing me to truly enjoy the natural food chain.

目の前に沈んだ航空機や船に珊瑚が住み付き、色とりどりの魚が群れていて自然の食物連鎖がリアルに楽しめました。

There were few fish, and the only things to see were artificial structures and a sunken ship. I started to feel sleepy. The only time I got excited was when I was on the boat heading to the submarine, feeling the wind... I think it would have been more enjoyable if there had been more marine life. This isn't really the tour company's fault, though...

魚も少ないし見るものと言えば人工的に沈めた枠とか沈没船かな。眠くなってしまいました。テンションが上がったところと言えば潜水艦に向かう船で風に吹かれてるときかな・・・。もう少し生き物がいてくれたら楽しかったと思う。こればっかりはツアー会社のせいじゃないけど・・・。

You don't need to arrive before the reception time since others are quite relaxed about it. It's not a first-come, first-served situation...

Once the submarine dives, it stabilizes, so I didn't feel nauseous or experience any pressure changes. I joined a tour without a Japanese guide, but if you're just looking to enjoy the ocean, it's not a problem.

The handsome guide, Jordan, was hard to understand at all. I found the earphone guide a bit bothersome and took it off halfway through. I was satisfied to see turtles and sharks.

受付時間前に行かなくても他の方がルーズなので大丈夫です。早い者勝ちとかではないので・・・
潜水艦は潜ると安定してるので気持ち悪くなったり気圧が変になることはなかったです。
日本語ガイドがいないツアーに参加しましたが、純粋に海を楽しむなら問題ないです。
イケメンガイドさんのジョーダンが全く分からないくらいです。イヤホンガイドは途中面倒くさくて外してしまいました。亀やサメも見れて満足です。

This was my first time participating.

Check-in was scheduled for 8:30 AM, so I arrived at that time. It seems that check-in actually started at that time, so it would have been fine to arrive around 9 AM. Since I was the first to check in, I had quite a bit of waiting time. I wish I had played at the nearby beach...

We moved to two submarines located on the sea using a larger boat with a restroom. From there, we split into two groups to board.

As expected of the waters in Hawaii. The waves were high, so the boat rocked quite a bit. Please be cautious of seasickness. My wife apparently wasn't in the mood to enjoy the submarine experience due to seasickness.

The submarine itself was very good. We were able to see a sunken ship and a submerged Zero fighter, which was quite surreal.

It seems to be a popular tour, as there were many people.

初めて参加させていただきました。

チェックインが8時30分となっていたので、8時30分に行きました。
これはこの時間にチェックインが開始と言う事で、実質9時頃までにくれば良かったぽいです。
一番乗りでチェックインしてしまったので、結構待ち時間がありました。
近くの海で遊んでいれば良かった、、、。

トイレ付きの大きめの船で、海上にある二隻の潜水艦まで移動します。
そこから、二手に分かれて乗り込みます。

さすがハワイの海。
波が高いので、結構揺れます。
船酔いに注意してください。
妻は船酔いで潜水艦で鑑賞する気分ではなかったらしいです。

潜水艦自体はとても良かったです。
沈没船や水没している零戦などが見ることが出来、とても幻想的でした。

人気のツアーらしく、人数は多いです。

You can see various types of submerged reefs and the creatures swimming around them. There are ships, airplanes, and more. You can listen to a Japanese audio guide through headphones, but when the captain is guiding in English and a sea turtle passes by, he cheerfully shouts "KAME! KAME!" or if there’s a shark, he’ll say "SHARK! SHARK!" When moving to the submarine by boat, if the weather is clear, you can see a beautiful view from Waikiki Beach to the mountains.

海底に沈められたいろいろなタイプの漁礁やその周りを泳ぐ生き物を見ることができます。
船、飛行機など様々です。日本語の音声ガイドをヘッドフォンで聞くこともできますが、キャプテンが英語でガイドしている時にウミガメが通ると「KAME！KAME！」とか、サメがいれば「SHARK！SHARK！」と賑やかに教えてくれます。
船で潜水艦まで移動している時は、晴れているとワイキキビーチから山まできれいに見ることができます。

I thought I would see a lot of fish and turtles since it was a submarine experience, but I might have had too high expectations. Since it's in nature, I think timing plays a role as well. The price is a bit high too. The staff was very enthusiastic and made it enjoyable.

潜水艦ということで、個人的に沢山の魚や亀がみれるとおもったが、期待しすぎていた。自然の中なので、タイミングもあると思います。値段も高いかな。スタッフさんはとても盛り上げてくれました。

My friend and I went on this together and it was the first time for both of us on a submarine! It was really neat getting to see the airplane and ships that were down there as well as getting the chance to see about 4 sea turtles and even a small shark! The crew was very nice and professional and we had a great time.
