Freakin’ Awesome

5.00Freakin’ awesome. Very unique, very fun. We hit 136’ depth which as they said on board, only 1% of the population will ever do. There’s a shipwreck and some reef to explore, you’ll see plenty of cool fish, and the captain makes sure both sides on the sub see everything. There’s a two minute walk from the parking lot to the ferry that takes you to the sub. You literally walk onto the sub from the ferry and then it’s just 10 steps down (like a long stepladder) - very easy to board. Highly recommended.
Awesome experience!

5.00Wonderful experience. Mi, the tour guide, made this tour even better. Of all the tour guides we have had while traveling—she was the best we had ever experienced.
Great staff and cool submarine but didn't see much

3.00The over experience was meh. The staff was great and the submarine is cool and comfortable. The boat ride out to the submarine was very nice as well. The meh part was, we didn't see much. I know they can not control that but it was pretty underwhelming. I used my Galaxy fold 7 to take pictures and they didn't really come out. So if you have kids, I am sure the kids would really like it and it is a neat experience to be on a submarine, just don't have great expectations of what you are going to see.
Well worth the time and A Cool Experience!

5.00It was a beautiful morning, with some choppy waves. But the boat out to the submarine was handled well and the ride down 100 feet was pretty cool. We got to see lots of fish and some sea turtles. What an experience!
Great experience!

100 ft Submarine Ride

5.00Thank you very much for your understanding and help. Excellent tour operators on this submarine adventure. In my particular case, due to a small misunderstanding, I was unable to take the tour at the scheduled time. However, the staff was very kind and allowed me to take it at the next available time. Once inside, the experience is unique; seeing parts of sunken ships and even a small aircraft was incredible, and it is now home to various fish.
New Experience Once in a life time

3.00All in all, it is a new experience that we appreciated. We believe something is still absent; it does not achieve 100% satisfaction. We enjoyed it, but we think there should be more fish and other spices in that ocean.
Excellent Trip with Atlantis Submarine

5.00After a few disappointing tour experiences on this trip, we decided to book the Atlantis Submarine excursion near Waikiki and it completely exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, the experience was professional, well-organized, and truly unforgettable. Descending beneath the ocean’s surface gave us an incredible view of Hawaii’s underwater world. We saw a wide variety of colorful tropical fish, several sea turtles gracefully swimming nearby, and even a shark during our tour, which made the experience even more exciting. The submarine itself was comfortable, the crew was knowledgeable and friendly, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. If you are visiting Waikiki and looking for a unique activity that is worth every penny, I highly recommend the Atlantis Submarine tour. It ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip.
