The submarine dives very fast to the bottom and you will see all kinds of fish. There is good communication from the captain and tour narrator. Once everyone was boarded and seated the staff will get to prepare to dive. There is no reason to be worried about who boards the sub first because everyone gets a window to themselves and a good view. The boat does rock quite a bit so if you get seasick maybe not the best activity for you. When the boat meets the submarine there will be a slow transfer process of all the passengers moving onto the sub. His comments made me feel a lot safer and I was happy with all of the staff members professionalism. I asked how many dives they had completed and was happy to hear him report back that Atlantis Submarines has completed over 47,000 dives without any incidents. There is a person speaking on the microphone and giving the safety briefs. The boat ride was nice and smooth and we even saw a group of spinner dolphins jumping and having fun in the ocean. You take a boat from the docks to the actual submarine that is waiting in the ocean. You start the experience by meeting at the hotel and walking with a group of about 30 people to the nearby docks. I had a great experience and I do recommend for anyone that is looking for a unique adventure.

I booked a tour on the Atlantis Submarines out of Kona, Big Island Hawaii this past June with my fiancé while on vacation. So, a complete waste of time on an island like Big Island in Hawaii with great beaches and so much more to offer. The whole trip from the crew was about clapping for themselves and cracking poor jokes while people push each other to see one or two fishes (you could frankly see more in your own aquarium)

Having been on the Atlantis trip in Oahu, this one was significantly worse as almost none of the marine animals or interesting creatures were seen.ĥ) No concern for covid as full capacity was operational. Homeless people close to waiting area might attack you if you try to use the nearby shade area(which unfortunately happened to us)ģ) No empathy or care shown by customer care at the waiting area when the concerns were discussed - she asked us to cancel and leave if we wanted to, knowing we had waited 50 minutes and travelled long distance to have this wasteful event on our itinerary (just for our daughter)Ĥ) No Honu turtles were seen at ALL. We were the first ones to be on the waiting area per their ask, but there was no communication for a trip delayed by 20 min despite several calls despite the team already aware of the delay - they still asked us to wait in the sun at the dock and head in advance knowing total wait time is 50 mins which might not be suitable for young children in hot and humid weather while they have been travellingĢ) No shade or designated area for people to wait. People are asked to line up 30 mins in advance, and walk a mile with young children to waiting area. She ate the food but let’s just say she was unavailable for the rest of the evening and there goes a 20 year anniversary celebration!Īnother issues was the length of the cruise, almost four hours! I like sailing but not for that long! That was my mistake for not considering the length! Read moreġ) Extremely poor communication and planning with no regard for the person paying for trip in mind. The dinner was horrible, not an experience at all! The food was pork ribs and my wife is allergic to pork. There were other couples celebrating 30 and even 40 years wedding anniversaries but we couldn’t enjoy it because they offer cocktails and one of the guests had a little too much alcohol, he was loud, obnoxious and had no respect for people sharing his “ass search” stories while heavily intoxicated and the staff did nothing! They just kept bribing him drinks. They are ven said “when Captain Cooked Discovered Hawaii” and later mentioned how Native Hawaiians have been in the islands for thousands over a thousand years. My wife loves history! The history recited on the cruise was the white wash version of Hawaii. It was supposed to be romantic and educational. We took this cruise to celebrate our 20th year wedding anniversary.
