Atlantis Submarines Waikiki

The Atlantis submarine tour is an interesting experience and a great way to spend a morning or afternoon. It's not too terribly long, so you'll have plenty of time to do other things with your day after the tour. They take you out to the submarine via a short boat ride and the submarine goes down to about 100ft. You'll see plenty of marine life and some artifacts that they've placed underwater for this tour including sunken boats and an airplane. Both the submarine and the boat ride to the sub were super comfortable and the guide does an excellent job explaining and pointing out the marine life and artifacts. A little pricey for how short the tour is, but overall I would recommend it for the novelty...after all, how often do you get the chance to ride in a submarine and go down 100ft? The shortness of the tour can also be a plus because it gives you the rest of the day to do something else!

Our experience with Atlantis Submarines Waikiki was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything was seamless and enjoyable. Booking online was a breeze, and checking in at the site was quick and straightforward. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcomed right away.As a local, I was thrilled to take advantage of the kamaaina discount, which is always appreciated. This month's special was particularly wonderful--children could go for free with each paying adult, which made it a perfect outing for our family.The submarine tour itself was an unforgettable adventure. The underwater sights were mesmerizing, and it was a unique experience to be able to explore the marine life up close. Our kids were fascinated by the colorful fish and the shipwrecks we passed by.Overall, Atlantis Submarines Waikiki met our expectations. It's a fun activity for both locals and visitors looking for a unique and memorable experience in Waikiki.

Super friendly & knowledgeable staff & awesome experience for family to see underwater life in a safe environment. We saw plenty of fish, 5 sea turtles, a barracuda, and an eagle ray. Everyone had a seat with great views and the tour was the perfect amount of time.They do sell a $55 photo package at the end of the tour but they were not pushy and were very polite when people declined to purchase photos. We opted to purchase them since they turned out great. We even get digital copies we can download so to me it's a better deal than school photos that are $$$.

The activity was a professional and very safe experience. The staff were competent and friendly. Our grandkids don't snorkel yet so this was the next best thing. Saw lots of fish and even a few divers. The boat captain slowed down on our return trip when we saw two whales and a sea turtle. The whole experience lasted about 1 1/2 hours. Well worth the cost.

A great and easy experience that will satisfy your inner Jules Verne This trip was a perfect mini excursion. A short, scenic boat ride takes you out to the submarine. The sub itself was very roomy. We were told that it's the world's larger passenger sub: with windows all round and a roomy interior, it almost seemed like a Disney ride.The staff were all knowledgeable and friendly. We saw wonderful man-made wrecks and underwater structures that hosted a variety of life. And the whole experience felt like quite the adventure.Only negative: They do try to upsell an overpriced photo at the end of the- which soured it a bit. $54 for an impromptu posed photo is a bit much. They'd probably sell more if they dropped the price to something reasonable.Other than that it was a great experience. I especially loved how eco-minded the outfit was. The sub is battery and air powered. The wrecks are prepped and placed to remove harmful materials and protect the reef life. If you're not ready to scuba or want a fun underwater experience - I highly recommend this adventure.The whole experience took about 1.5 hours.

Had a great experience with Atlantis Adventures Submarines! I was looking up things to do with a few free hours in the am and stumbled upon this roughly 2 hour excursion - which was perfect for me. I booked online and it was hassle free.Check in is at a a little booth on the beach at the Hilton near the pier. The guys at check in told me to watch for turtles as they frequently swim near the pier and sure enough - I saw two.When you get to the pier they offer to take your picture but I declined since I was solo on this adventure.You take a roughly 20 min ride to the submarine and we managed to see a couple mama humpbacks and their calves. We also saw a pod of about 150 dolphins and had great views of Diamond Head. It's kinda cool getting to see all those things on top of the sub tour! (And I didn't have to pay for a separate whale watching excursion!)The climb down into the sub is very steep (as others have mentioned). If you have mobility issues this may not be the best option. Our sub was only about 1/3 full so we had space to spread out. The guide was knowledgeable and funny. She was constantly on the lookout for different species under the water and pointing them out and giving fun facts. The water was clear and visibility was high. Among many varieties of fish we also saw an eel, sting ray, a turtle eating algae on one of the structures and a white tip shark.It's pricey - at $149 after tax per adult, so just an FYI. It's one of those fun things to do once.

Fun and educational! This is a pretty rare experience. We went down 107 feet.If you do not like small enclosed spaces, this is NOT for you.We (family of 4) did the 11 am Thursday tour. The ferry ride was a little rough, but the submarine ride is very smooth.On the ferry you get the best views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach. You can see fish, turtles and sharks, but its not like snorkeling. The colors are not bright a beautiful. All your pictures will come out blue. Be sure to book a head of time if you want to do this activity during a touristy time.

Maile from Ewa was the best!!! An absolutely solid adventure and the crew sold the experience. Do yourself the justice of paying the whole team a visit you won't regret it :)

It's an interesting experience to try once especially since this is the largest public carrier submarine. It'll take you down to 100 feet deep across some artificial and natural coral reefs. There will be a decent amount of fish and we even saw a small shark briefly.The reason I rated as three stars is because the submarine itself got a bit repetitive and boring and there wasn't as much fish as expected. Also visibility is quite low down there even during a nice sunny day. The boat ride was nice but it was very shaky and nauseating. Overall just an OK experience especially considering the cost but could be good to try for the first time.

Super fun tour! Maile was an awesome guide, super knowledgeable and engaging. Girl deserves a raise!! Definitely recommend booking this adventure :) shoutout tobster for getting us up and down safely
