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 50 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.
If you haven't taken a trip to the bottom of the ocean before, the Atlantis Submarine Oahu Adventure is a "must do" for the whole family during your visit to Hawaii.

In addition, you will find a more comfortable environment complete with more than 65% greater viewing area as compared to the smaller submarine.

Very cool adventure seeing all the marine life below the surface. Staff did a wonderful job explaining the boat and plane wreckage and how it got down on the bottom of the ocean. A must see experience.

We were in Waikiki on a Sunday when there were thunderstorms all day and it rained about 6 inches. The forecast for the next day was 80 change of rain, so we booked this submarine for the next day because we wanted to have something to do if it was raining all day again. As it turned out, it only rained in the morning and our submarine trip was at 1:00. We really enjoyed the tour. The guide onboard was so good to point out sea turtles and fish and she explained all about the planes and other items that were on the bottom of the sea. it was cool to go down 122 ft below sea level. I was surprised that at that depth you can't see a lot of the colors because of lack of sunlight but it was all interesting. Definitely worth the few hours that it takes.

This trip in a sub was my first. It was pleasant, but not exciting. The water was clear. We saw unicorn fish, other large and small fish, starfish, and turtles. The commentary was adequate and probably would have been better with fewer jokes and more science. The benchs molded seats were not very comfortable. Staff were polite and professional. Everything ran on time, a HUGE plus. We felt safe undersea.

What a great experience!! A very well organised tour. The commentary provided was very informative. Highly recommend this tour.

Absolutely loved this! Doesn't take too long like most excursions. I recommend going at 9:00AM when there are fewer people. We saw a shark and see turtles among other cool sealife. The ship workers were exceptionally nice, even offering to take pictures of us.

This was well worth the time and money, and would do again if we return.
Review by: Gregory A, January 2018
It was fun to experience diving under water, but we expected to see much more marine life. It seemed like all the fish were rather small and grey, a couple turtles. No dolphins, rays, eels, or other marine life. Liked the personal photo opportunity, but tour did not seem like a premium tour.

Everyone visiting Hawaii, should do this adventure....amazing, I'd do whenever I go...

Great Trip, the tour guide was awesome.
Review by: Eric R, December 2017
A beautiful day in the bay. While waiting for the transport boat we were treated to several turtles swimming around the dock. A very knowledgeable crew of safety oriented people. Extremely courteous and they took time to show us all of the sights. Somehow I was reminded of Richard Basehardt and David Hedison on the old Irwin Allen TV show, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Lot of fish, rays, turtles, and sunken ships and derelict aircraft. Very cool and peaceful, Would do it again in a minute.

Loved the whole experience. The host was very entertaining

Hmmmm... my first time in a real submarine other than the submarine in Disneyland way back. it was a good experience and a reality check. what I saw isn't like what is on the picture.
Review by: PaisleyWoodstock, November 2017
We loved it! Definitely the highlight of our 1-week Oahu vacation! one boards a boat that takes you way out to where the submarines are. That in itself is a treat. it was a beautiful day, and a bunch of surfers separated by buoys were so fun to watch. after the waves calm down, the captain waits for the sub's signal to let him know where it is so they do not run into each other. there are about 3 of them operating in the area, and each have specific coordinates. the Sub's captain was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. it was a first for us, and definitely a must-do when in any of the islands! but especially Oahu!

This is a MUST DO!!! If you don't want to snorkel this is a great alternative.
Review by: tejalp89, October 2017
Pick-up timely. Throughout this adventure, staff members were friendly, informative and knowledgeable. It was my family's first time on the submarine and we enjoyed seeing all of the sea creatures. We selected the premium seating option and was definitely worth the upgrade.
Review by: Hannah N, October 2017
The trip was great. We were picked up at the Hilton Pier and taken out to board the submarine off the coast. We did the larger submarine and it was great, really good view out the big windows. The staff were knowledgable and professional. Very well organised. Our family enjoyed the day out!
Review by: Tamar S, October 2017
Tour was really great, our tour guide was great and funny, the Submarine was a good size
Review by: Michael Z, October 2017
Timely pickup from the Prince hotel. Only had 11 on the submarine so had lots of room to move about. Ample opportunities to snap photos and the crew even sung happy birthday to a guest while we rested on the ocean floor - pure dedication! You also have the chance to have your photo taken by a professional before heading on to the transfer boat to the submarine. Was a cool experience all around - saw quite a few sea turtles chilling on old wrecks, and even a few sharks!
Review by: Sarah D, October 2017
Always an enjoyable and fun short trip. We have done this before and it was interesting seeing the changes in the reef over the past few years. A great way to see fish, sharks, turtles etc for those who do not like snorkelling.
Review by: Ian M, October 2017
Great experience, professionally run - I'd do it again.
Review by: Stephanie W, September 2017
Brilliant tour. Everything was perfect, we even saw 2 turtles! Would recommend booking this tour.
Review by: Tom, September 2017
I would recommend another water trip in Oahu. While the employees were great, the view was disappointing. On my side of the sub, saw very few fish or anything for that matter. The view was not very good. The guide kept saying don't worry about not seeing something on one side as the sub would turn around and come back. Guess what, it didn't. At the end of the tour, the guide admitted that the current was to strong for the sub and they were having some problems. I did the submersible scooter and saw a ton more marine life than on this tour.
Review by: Tom, September 2017
The tour was a disappointment. The crew was friendly but that is about the best thing i can saw. When we were on the sub, the guide explain what we would see and how it would be done. It was also stated that the sub had two sides and we would all see everything. That wasn't the case. One side of the sub saw alot more then the other side. The guide stated don't worry as the sub would turn around and come back but it never did. Towards the end the guide explained that the current was strong and they were having a hard time with the sub's positioning. Also don't get the deluxe package as nothing extra was given to me for it.
Review by: carolyn075, September 2017
This was a great experience. On the boat ride out we got great views of Waikiki and saw dolphins and a turtle. The sub itself was bigger than I expected and was great fun. We saw so many fish, turtles and even a shark. I def recommend doing this!
Review by: John L, September 2017
Was fantastic! Everything we hoped for and more. Crew was awesome. We even saw a sea turtle. Highly recommend.
Review by: Joseph B, August 2017
Not much to see, pretty baron landscape. You'll see a lot more snorkeling.
Review by: Al, August 2017
One of the Best Tours in Oahu! Must See.. Very Professional Staff.
Review by: jduncan330, July 2017
while going out to the sub got to see dolphins swimming beside us. really enjoyed the experience never been in a submarine before.
Review by: Ken, July 2017
Currents shift bring up sediment and dives can be cancelled. We were in Hawaii for several days and so went another day but people with restricted time should be aware
Review by: Rebecca L, July 2017
The tour was great. The staff members were professional and put everyone at ease. We took the tour with the larger windows which is well worth the price. I would not recommend this tour for young children. However, I would recommend it to everyone else. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

Fantastic
Review by: Aaron K, April 2017
Wonderful experience. The submarine showed us an up close and personal view that we wouldn't have ever gotten to see otherwise. Pickup was on time, and the tour guides were funny and professional at the same time. Highly recommended.
Review by: nancyj2008, April 2017
This was a fun experience to go in a submarine to 110 feet below the surface. We saw lots of fish, big sea turtles, a big star fish and rays. Everything from our hotel pick-up, transportation to the sub, the sub ride and our trip back to our hotel was great and efficient. the guides and drivers are friendly and helpful.
Review by: Captain Jack, April 2017
Ask anyone if they have been in a sub and they will say no. This is a bucket list trip. Not only do you get to see the island of Oahu from the sea in an amazingly fast Ship but you also go under the sea. Great for all Jules Vernes Captain Nemo's out there. Don't forget some dollers to buy a cap at the shop. Brill trip, fish, sharks , turtles and we saw 4 sting rays plus sunken aircraft and ships.If the sea is choppy then purchase the anti sickness lotion on the boat 17.00.
Review by: RICHARD W, April 2017
I was a submariner in the navy so I looked forward to being on a submarine with windows. The day we went we had clear water and lots of sea life. My wife saw here favorite, sea turtles. Two ship wrecks, two artificial reefs, and ancient lava flow, and the deepest blue you will every see. My wife and I could have stayed down for hours.
Review by: Brenda H, February 2017
This was a wonderful, interesting thing to do, we are so pleased we paid the extra to go on the bigger submarine as the windows are bigger. It was everything they said it would be and more. Highly recomend everyone to do this once
Review by: Bob H, January 2017
A little overrated but well worth the experience of going down under and seeing what it is like being in a sub. It's one of those tours you have to do at least once!! Great people and they help you all the way and great tour guide.
Review by: aaml144, January 2017
Excellent Experience, nice facilities, professional and friendly staff. A unique experience, recommended.

Exactly as advertised. Professional from start to finish. Fun experience. More than just an adventure, they are taking an active role in maintaining and building the ecosystem.

The Guide was AWESOME!!! This ended up being the highlight of our entire trip.
Review by: craig h, January 2017
if you are going try to to sit on the right hand side you will see more , but the crew were great , it was worth the money for a 1 hour tour under the ocean, you will see all sorts of variety of fish and marine life.

This was a great trip - very interesting. We saw lots underwater, and even the trips to and from the submarine were good.
Review by: Ann Marie R, October 2016
This was a highlight of my visit to Honolulu. The tour was awesome and the crew of both ships were very knowledgeable and entertaining. I would recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Oahu and when I visit again, I will definitely take this tour.
Review by: TANYA S, September 2016
Great adventure. The submarine takes you past ship wrecks, structures and you see lots of different fish. We weren't lucky enough to see any turtles or sharks, however the experience of being 100ft underwater was something a lot of people don't get to do. For those who don't scuba dive - this is the next best thing.
