This was a typical Hawaiian experience that was expensive but worth doing once. Well organised - pick up from hotel and drop off. well explained and lots of marine life to see, don't expect sharks, dolphins or giant octopus - but colourful and interesting. A good 3hour plus experience.

After all, how often do we get to go down in a submarine? This was a fun underwater trip. The personnel were very friendly. We saw lots of fish, of course, but also a green sea turtle and a shark. We were told it was very unusual to see that type of shark in such shallow water and she ,use... More

MORE THAN DISAPPOINTING!!!! we didn't see anything really and what was right in front of us was hard to see . this is way over priced and not worth it!!! so if you want to see lots of fish close enough to touch you should go snorkeling at hanauma bay , if you drive yourself / take a bus its...

A friend recommended we take the two grand children on the Atlantis. The only commercially operating submarine to my knowledge. We booked an early morning trip to make the most of our day. The on line booking was flawless. We duly turned up in plenty of time at the Hilton Pier, to early in fact. The staff made us welcome... More

Went on the sub tour. Pricey but if you do it, spend the money on the sub with the bigger windows. Crew nice, photos they take are overpriced. Very informative tour. Saw a large green sea turtle - so cool. Lots of fish. No sharks. Fun but I would do it once.

The water was merky and could not really see much. The gentleman from China that sat next to us did not smell clean and continued to pick his nose and wipe it on his pant leg the entire time. Not really worth the money in my opinion. the most exciting part was going out to the submarine and then boarding... More

I made the decision to write this review in order to hopefully save others from the disappointment which affected my whole vacation due to a depletion of funds which were supposed to last for 10 days. But since this silly underwater ride was sooooo lame I just had to spend more money on doing something else in order to have... More

Loved this trip, the staff were friendly and the commentary was excellent. We were in the larger submarine and had ample room to sit and look out of the windows as we travelled. The sub turned around so each side got to see everything. It is a lot of money but if you only ever go on a real submarine... More

My friend and were very excited about this trip. As we are not strong swimmers we left out the snorkelling but still wanted the experience of seeing fishes in their natural element. WE booked our tour via a travel agent and thought the $100+ dollars would be worth it for the adventure. We were picked up by the Atlantis tour... More

Waste of money! Saw a few schools of fish near the sunken reefs and 1 sea turtle sleeping on a platform near the oceanbed. The brochures depict bright and numerous fish and even show a shark. Our guide said the sharks are scared away by the larger aggressive fish that inhabit the reef so they are rarely seen on the... More
