Super fun and unique experience! Would definitely recommend to others. We really enjoyed seeing the structures under water and schools of fish.

Worth the money!!

ElenaDelia_V, Aug 2022

Wow, amazing! We lucked out with the ocean being clear and we were able to see lots of beautiful fish, sea turtles, some sharks and two sting rays. It really was a great experience and worth the money. The crew was amazing.

Not much to see😒

Rochelle_W, Aug 2022

Trying to see the sea life. Not much to see though. Some employees were more interested in looking at their phones than helping or welcoming the guests.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Aloha Rochell! Thank you for taking the time to review your recent experience with us. We're sorry to hear that it wasn't as exciting as you had hoped. The ocean is often quite unpredictable, and sightings of underwater life vary from hour to hour. We also appreciate you sharing your experience with our employees being on their phones. We take pride in providing exceptional guest experiences and appreciate your valuable feedback. You feedback will be shared with our leadership team. Mahalo!

Scrotum was very good. ...

Trash - avoid

Ryan_M, Jul 2022

Terrible garbage - tickets to the wrong place. Stonewalling refund requests. Avoid. Looks great in the photos - company doesn’t stand by ticket system - beware.

Underwater fun

Barbara_L, Jul 2022

From beginning to end, a fun trip. The staff was professional from first photo through back-to-shore. The tour guide on the submarine was entertaining and knowledgeable about everything we saw, describing the shipwrecks, the planes, and the fish. Was a great time.

Great Time

Matthew_M, Jul 2022

Was a great time! Sea turtles, eels, and thousands of fish. Crew was very nice and were very knowledgeable.

Although I wasn't happy...

LANCE_O, Jul 2022

Although I wasn't happy to find out that the ships and plane wings were put there like props, it was still cool to see the marine life under the sea.. The staff was completely amazing, I had 2 vision impaired yound adults with me that they went above and beyond assisting them on/off the boat and submarine..was very impressed!! Thank you

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Aloha Lance! Thank you for taking the time to review your recent experience with us. We're sorry to hear that it wasn't as exciting as you had hoped. Naturally, Waikiki has very sparse reef environments, and over the past 100 years the natural reef has been disappearing. Atlantis has helped reverse this dissipation by introducing man-made reef developments, which have greatly increased the biomass of fish, coral and other marine life. I am happy to hear our crew went above and beyond in assisting your party. We appreciate your valuable feedback and will be sure to share it with our team. Mahalo!

Worth it

David_W, Jul 2022

It was awesome to see all the fish. Wish the turtles were out. Fun underwater adventure for all. Windows could be more clear.

We hope to see you again soon for another underwater adventure!

The water was murky and we could hardly see anything. It was a big waste of time and money! I'll never recommend this tour to anyone!

The entire experience was exceptional. The boat and sub crew were very knowledgable and professional. We enjoyed this adventure a number of years ago and the addition of the two vessels was very enjoyable and unique . I particularly enjoyed and appreciate the stunning growth of coral.
