Only reason I don’t rate 5 stars is the high price . I did almost all the Atlantis tours it is something you do once and done. It’s neat to go 100 feet in the water but the visibility isn’t that great . If you never been on submarine do it. The one in Kona and Waikiki had shipwrecks and aircraft in the dive site
Great family experience

The amazing tour in the ocean down to over 100 ft. below the surface was truly spectacular. We saw a wide variety of fish and corral. Our guide, Tyler, talked about the names of the fish as we saw them and helped us to distinguish between the many varieties. He also add fun stories. We also saw some shipwrecks.

This was a super fun trip to see the coral reef in Kona. We were able to see lots of different fish, two shipwrecks and our guide was knowledgeable about the area. The only thing was that the audio was hard to hear over the engine so we missed some of what he said when the sub was diving. It was fun to land at the “bottom” of the ocean. Great way to see the reef if you are not into diving or have members of your group that can’t dive. My 11 year old loved this as well as his 67 year old grandpa. Win-win!
Great activity for all ages!

We had a great time, especially my daughter!We saw some spinner dolphins while boarding the shuttle boat, and we saw so many fish and beautiful coral! Only bummer we hadn't considered is that when you go down that deep, you cant really see any color... but thats just science, not the tours fault. We loved seeing the two shipwrecks as well! The crew did a fantastic job.
