Oahu Atlantis Submarine Adventure

Oahu, United States of America

Dive below the surface of Hawaii's blue waters on an Atlantis Submarine Oahu tour! You'll have a unique chance to observe marine life up close without getting wet on this exciting Oahu submarine tour, while descending 100 feet (30 meters) beneath the surface in a submarine.

The Atlantis submarine Hawaii adventure begins with a short (approximately 10 minutes) shuttle ride out to the submarine boarding site. Descending below the waves, your actual time underwater on the Oahu submarine tour is around 45 minutes. Returning to the world above water, your shuttle is waiting to return you to land.

The Oahu submarine tour dive site is home to many Hawaiian fish, coral and turtles. On this truly eye-opening experience, you'll visit sunken ships, airplanes and other artificial reefs. The submarine has a spacious air-conditioned interior, large view ports and comfortable seating. Plus you'll receive an Atlantis Souvenir Dive Log.

Great experience, professional and friendly crew. Fantastic views of underwater life and artificial reefs (wrecks) - lots of small colourful fish, turtles and on our trip, a couple of scuba divers made viewing interesting.

brilliant, commentry was a bit over the top but the experience was first class

Review by: Dorothy L	November 2011
The crew was very knowledgeable, however the w thewater was merky and we never went to the advertised dept of 120 feet. We saw the fish and turtles that were close to the submarine, but nothing much in the man made reefs. The invitation to the Maui Divers afterward was interesting at the beginning, then turned into a hard sell for their very expensive jewelery. I wasn't very happy about that. The $40 picture prior to boarding was well done, however overpriced. We would not do this tour again.

Great experience.

Review by: Katie M	October 2011
It was fun going in a submarine and the boat trip out to the subs gave us lovely views of the coastline. Unfortunately, we didn't see as much marine life as expected but we still had a good time.

Review by: Judith P	October 2011
Wonderful experience. Very comfortable, lots of room and great viewing portholes. Comentary very informative and lighthearted.

Review by: Christopher L	September 2011
The submarine was overrated and expensive if you have the money your better off spending to go swim with the dolphins.

Review by: Bruce M	September 2011
A bit of a let down when we were left sitting at the pick-up point wondering when the bus would arrive. 15 minutes after it was due I called the local contact to find out that the tour had been cancelled at the last minute. They claimed that they had been trying to contact everyone to let them know. I was given the option of booking another date or receiving a full refund. I re-booked for a week later than originally planned._br/_ This time all went well. Transport to/from the sub was on-time and reasonably quick. Be aware that once checked-in at the sub we were offered a free tour of the pearl factory. It wasn't mandatory, or a hard-sell. So, maybe not a problem. We just weren't expecting the offer, and the timing left us feeling that there may be a hard-sell coming at the end of the sub cruise. However, that didn't happen. At the end of the cruise, we simply had the option of the additional tour or a ride back to our hotel._br/_ As for the sub itself, we chose the premium option. It is a good looking machine. It really does look the part as you approach it, board and climb down into it. The ride is very smooth. No hint of sea-sickness on board. Maybe the ride is too smotth though. My wife remarked that it is like a visit to the aquarium. So, if you are looking for adventure, then maybe this isn't for you. However, it isn't every day that you can go on a submarine. So, all in all it was more of a novelty than an adventure, but interesting. Good for families and kids.

It's a different experience for the first time..!

Review by: Rowena H	July 2011
Exciting view under the sea but I wished there were more real corals. But it was still a wonderful scene down there. :)

Review by: Jasminne R	May 2011
Not much to see down there... The crew/company was great, but I did expect to see coral and the associated ecosystem with it, but it was more man made reefs. If you haven't been on a submarine before then that's pretty cool, but save the reef viewing for somewhere else.

Review by: Dawn L A	May 2011
The light gets filtered out at the depth that you dive to, so the fish and other sea animals do not look very colorful. The "captain" of the ship alternated between informative commentary regarding the coral reefs and sea life and annoyingly joking with the other crew members. It was okay, but would not do it again. Definitely expected more!

Review by: ayla.delvin	May 2011
Enjoyed it but was a little disappointed that the colours of the fish weren't very bright.. Seeing the turtles and Giant Trevally was pretty amazing though, and the ship wrecks also!

Review by: Anonymous	March 2011
A definite must do! We traveled down about 120 feet and saw all kinds of fish and really interesting reefs. The guide was well informed and entertaining. It also was a comfortable ride. The water is amazing clear and makes you realize that you really are in paradise!

The trip was truly awesome! From the pick up at the hotel to the boat ride out to the submarine, everything was exceptional.

It was pretty neat being underwater in a submarine! If you've never been in one you should try this one! Everyone is so nice!

Review by: STEVE S	July 2010
Very interesting trip. Would recommend it to anyone. Once in a lifetime experience. Would do it every time I go to Hawaii.

Review by: Michael C	July 2010
Quite interesting. Family really enjoyed this.

Review by: Kemal T, United Kingdom	June 2010
I found it dull and lack of sea life for the money spent, but maybe that was down to the time of year. Yet, it was a cool experience and the staff were great.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	May 2010
submarine tour was agreat experience,hotel pick up and drop off included.the submarine takes about 50 minutes,but if it is something you have never done then it is amust.

Review by: Victoria W, Canada	March 2010
Awesome experience. We went 110 feet below sea level. My only surprise was that I had been told that the 11am booking was for the premium submarine. In fact there were 2 subs picking up people, the premium and the standard. As it turned out, we were put on the standard sized sub. Even so, it was terrific. The crew member was very knowledgeable, there was lots of space on board so you didn't feel claustrophobic, and we got to see many kinds of Hawaiian sea creatures. The hotel pickup was on time too.

This was a pretty cool experience. They have done a good job building reefs to attract the fishes, but they were literally only around the reefs - not much to see elsewhere. We all received guides so we could identify the sea life when we were on our sub. We went as deep as 117 feet, and the ride was surprisingly smooth, both the descent/ascent and along the ocean floor.

Save your money. The submarine ride at Disneyland was way better even though the scenery was artificial. You do not get a window to yourself.

The trip out, and the view of the city from the connecting boat was great! The Submarine was an experience, but a little disappointed I had not seen more fish life below. I would still recommend others try it. It was great!

The experience of the sub is nice. I expected to see a better view of coral or fish but not so. The crew is nice.

This experience was amazing! It should not be missed out on.

The boat ride to the dock was just as fun as the actual submarine ride.

Review by: Michael W, United States of America	January 2008
Very informative and fun.

Review by: Jeff L, Australia	December 2007
I was kind of thinking that the subs may be some kind of glass-bottomed boat or similar, cynic that I am, and was surprised at the announcement over the PA: 'Please look off the port side of the vessel and watch for a big bubbling spot on the ocean surface'. Apparently the subs release some air to identify their positions to the mother ship, to ensure they won't surface in the path of a pleasure, commercial or even navy vessel. Whoa - up it came - a real submarine!!_br /__br /_It was a lot of fun, didn?t take too much time and the kids loved it. I can now claim to be a submariner. A great adventure!

Awesome. The only thing I would have liked is to see more fish but obviously they can't control that!
