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.
Unique Wildlife Viewing Experience

5.00My husband and I saw the ad for this while waiting for our luggage at the airport. He has always wanted to go on a submarine and after a funny and somewhat disappointing experience elsewhere he wanted to try again. This was so much better than we expected it to be. We had such a good time and felt it was so worth it. I actually wish it were longer! Unlike some "submarines" this one actually goes about 100 ft below the surface (not just driving around at the surface). You take a boat from the Hilton dock out to the submarine and then transfer over. I'm bad at judging distance, but it's about 10 to 20 minutes out to sea. You can see it from the beach in the distance sometimes. The boat trip is a great opportunity for taking photos of the shoreline, etc. The submarine is comfortable, cool, with plenty of space and windows. There is a captain and the guide who talks about the history of the area and the various animals you see. We saw dolphins, sharks, turtles, and all kinds of fish. Lots of fish. I usually like to go snorkeling when we go to Hawaii, but I told my husband I didn't feel like I needed to after the submarine. I definitely recommend it. It was a really fun and interesting experience.
