We had a great time, especially my daughter!We saw some spinner dolphins while boarding the shuttle boat, and we saw so many fish and beautiful coral! Only bummer we hadn't considered is that when you go down that deep, you cant really see any color... but thats just science, not the tours fault. We loved seeing the two shipwrecks as well! The crew did a fantastic job.

We had never been underwater in a real submarine before and decided to try this. We are not scuba divers but had been on several snorkeling adventures viewing beautiful corals and colorful fish. This trip offers the opportunity to see the coral and the fish ( plus a few shipwrecks) without getting wet or being fearful of swimming in the ocean. We enjoyed the new experience of traveling under water to a depth of more than 100 ft, viewing tropical fish, corals, shipwrecks, and learning the history

Amazing tour of the reefs with a knowledgeable tour guide and great crew! Would recommend this to anyone. We actually saw two ship wrecks and a tiger shark while down, and went past 100 ft deep Very cool

Very cool being underwater but a bit disappointing there wasn't a lot to look at (some fish but none too exotic, a couple ships that had sunk, spare tires and other junk on the ocean floor) and the non-stop talking by the tour guide (with so little substance about what we were seeing) interfered with the experience, plus the trying-to-be-cute musical selections (Baby Shark? Jailhouse Rock, which I still don't get?) were just annoying. I was hesitant to write/post this but the experience could be

It was a very exciting trip. We went down 107 feet to the bottom of Kailua Bay. We saw a white tip shark, yellow tangs, butterfly fish, and lots of other reef fish among the two shipwrecks. The crew was very nice.

Our family found this to be a great experience. Our group ranged from 12 to 72 and we all enjoyed it very much. We would do it again.

Sub was fun, tripadvisor didn't honor their price match guarantee. 12 hrs after buying here I found the tickets for the same show available to the public for $50 less per person. Submitted to TripAdvisor and they refused to refund even though it fits into their price match guarantee. Did not use any coupons.

I like to snorkel, but my husband does not. Seeing fish through the comfort of a submarine window was our compromise. The staff was so knowledgeable and gave lots of information about each kind of fish and coral we were looking at. It was beautiful, and we were extra blessed to see several sharks and bottle-nosed dolphins that day in addition to a whole array of smaller fish and schools of fish. I was surprised when friends said they would be nervous knowing they were deep under water. We c

This was so amazing. We highly recommend it to anyone. Was longer and deeper than we had expected. We even sat on the bottom of the ocean at 105' deep.

A little underwhelming unless you’re really into submarines, shipwrecks, and seeing the ocean floor at 100ft. We didn’t really end up seeing much more of the coral reef or wildlife than you can see snorkeling on this island. Price was a little steep for a 1hr experience. But it was still a cool experience and my partner who was a little more into it had an absolute blast.

Die u-boot Tour war große Klasse, wir haben so was das erste Mal gemacht. Wir sind mehr als 30 Meter in die tiefe gegangen & sind begeistert. Wir haben kleine & große Fische ( auch einen Hai ) das wunderbare Riff, Schiffswracks & die Unterwasserwelt in allen Farben gesehen.

Great experience! Crew was professional and made us feel very safe! I understand there may be more fish activity in the mornings, if you are condering this event, but it’s all good anytime of day!
