An experience I will not soon forget.
Reviewed by: Ayden, 2023/09/15The staff were amazing; friendly, funny and full of knowledge. Felt safe the whole time, and the sights themselves were amazing. Seeing sea turtles, sharks, eels, stingrays and schools of fish on sunken ships was amazing. Worth every penny.
They had water and bathrooms on the boat, just not on the sub. But time seems to fly by down there, you’re in a different world.

100ft underwater!
Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii, 2022/09/29100ft underwater. We saw turtles, fish, sunken ships, and sunken planes! Visibility on the day we went was crystal clear and we took tons of photos. I went with my good friend and she brought her 4-year-old. He absolutely loved it!! One thing though, the shuttle boat from shore to the submarine drop zone can be really windy. I packed a jacket which the kiddo was glad that I need since it got a little breezy. Once we were in the submarine, it's fully air-conditioned so I'd have a light jacket if you get cold easily.
Aloha !

Always Honest Review
Reviewed by: Sharon and family, 2022/03/13This was a great experience. It was wonderful to be educated about all the ocean conservation and the coral life that is being done. Was also nice at the time, it was not too crowded - which did make this trip worth the price.

Could not have been happier.
Reviewed by: Ed From PHX, 2021/10/26We went on the Sub as a group of 4. The only thing I would suggest to for next time is have a few people on each side of the sub. There were times when they saw something on one side and the other side did not get to see it or Photograph it. If we had people on both sides we would have had photos of all the different things.
The guide was very enjoyable and made the trip a blast. He told us things about the fish and the scenes from 107 feet below we would have never known, and he made it interactive as well.
I would highly recommend this to anyone that is looking to see things below the surface and not have to worry about having a SCUBA cert or getting eaten by sharks ( like one of our group did)!

Must do!!!
Reviewed by: Denise , 2021/05/15This was the most interesting excursion I’ve ever had. I saw 2 turtles which was the main reason I wanted to go. The sea life was so interesting, wasn’t what I had expected. I highly recommend doing this if you’re interested in ocean life. I saw a live star fish on the bottom and a mortar shell. The guides were also very interesting and funny.

A New Experience
Reviewed by: a-chan, 2020/01/29I did this tour with my friend who is not from the island. It was her first time on a submarine and she was amazed by how beautiful it was underwater. The boat ride to the submarine was very smooth and because the weather was so nice we decided to sit on the top deck. The view from the deck was amazing. Just as we departed we were able to see a sea turtle swimming next to our boat. The submarine ride itself wasn't so bad we were able to see turtles, sharks, and a lot of fish. It was a bit cold so I do recommend bringing a jacket since you will be underwater for quite some time. My friend and I really enjoyed the tour and we would love to go back and try it again!

Best way to see Oahu's marine life!
Reviewed by: MsTravelGal, 2020/01/23"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 saw several of this species and some were much larger than this guy![]()
So many fish!![]()
Inside the sub just before everyone boarded from the shuttle boat![]()
Very unique experience getting to dive beyond 100 feet without getting wet or having your ears pop!![]()
View of Waikiki and the Ko'olau Mountains under the clouds![]()
Diamond Head--Oahu's most iconic natural feature.

We're also excited you were able to see some great marine life! We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back aboard in the future! A hui hou (until next time).

First Time experience
Reviewed by: Nunia T., 2018/06/09This trip was the first time we have ever been on a submarine and we are glad we did it as it was one of the best experiences of our lives. My boyfriend Daniel and I were booked on the Premium Seats which I definitely recommend as those windows are much larger. The staff members are very knowledgeable and always looking out for your safety. You will first board the ship that will then sail out to take you to the submarine dock. The sail is really beautiful as you get to see Waikiki and diamond head on the way. When loading into the Submarine they ensure that your safety comes first and are very careful about every little details. During the submarine tour we went as deep as 110ft and it was just wonderful. Everything is super blue and you get to see a lot of different varieties of fishes, treasures and coral reefs. Also the guide and captain are super funny so you will definitely enjoy your time.

Well worth it!
Reviewed by: John, 2016/08/07Enjoyed the submarine experience with my 3 kids ages 7,12 and 14. All of us had a great time. The short boat ride to and from the dive site was great, with beautiful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Everything was very organized and the staff all seemed genuinely happy to be there. The narrator dude (Justin or Jason...can't remember) was awesome!...funny and knowledgeable. Sad to hear about how global warming is changing what can live and grow in Hawaiian waters and how quickly things are changing. We saw a million colorful fish, a shark and a turtle. Totally worth it!

Atlantis Submarine tour, Waikiki
Reviewed by: Richard Rockwell, 2016/06/19Had 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.

Fun experience
Reviewed by: Rachel, 2015/04/07Great experience. We booked quite last minute but they still managed to confirm our booking quite quickly. Although the submarine ride is only 45 minutes, transporting out there was also great for sight seeing. No fluffy colorful coral, but lots of fish and some turtles! Tour guide also gives some history of the sites. Educational and fun experience- felt like discovery channel.

Sub was quite comfortable. Premium ride was excellent. I highly recommend taking this tour. You won't be disappointed !
