    Once In A Lifetime Submarine Trip

    This was amazing! The lady who was our guide was marine biologist. She identified all the animal species we saw and gave great information about each one. They took us to several reefs. We saw a sunken ship, an airplane that was turned into a reef, and several man made reefs. We went over 100 ft under the water. I would recommend this to everybody.

    Just like my old Scuba Diving days!!!

    My wife was working this week so I figured I would go do some activities solo around the hotel we were staying at. This submarine ride came up and I thought “oh wow how cool” so I signed up. My wife and I used to scuba dive a lot pre kids and this submarine ride brought all those amazing memories back again.

    Response from the operator: Aloha Steve! Thank you for sharing your review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring over 100 feet under the sea with Atlantis Adventures!

    Enjoyable and entertaining

    Conveniently located right at our resort (hilton village waikiki). the small ferry ride was not too arduous. my motion sickness children handled it with dramamine. the ferry and sub operators were all welcoming and energetic. we got to see many fish, a reef shark, and a ray among the purposefully sunken ships and planes.

    Response from the operator: Aloha! Mahalo for your 5-star review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your recent experience with us, aboard the Atlantis Submarine, from the shuttle boat ride to the deep-sea exploration. We love hearing from our guests and are thrilled to know you had a fantastic submarine adventure! Thank you very much for sharing your valuable feedback and experience on the shuttle ride. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise. Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).

    Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.

    How much does Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki cost?

    +

    Prices start at $151 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oahu is not rushed.

    Is Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 1,364 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki?

    +

    Around 477 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oahu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oahu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Oahu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oahu: Full or Half Day Grand Circle Island Tour, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour, Oahu Majestic Circle Island Tour with Waimea Falls and Byodo Inn. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Oahu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Oahu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki?

    +

    Included: Complete live professional narration in English; Submarine dive; Local taxes; Pre-recorded audio available in Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese; and Shuttle boat to submarine dive site. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki?

    +

    Guests must check-in 20 Min prior to the scheduled submarine time at Atlantis Submarine Kiosk located at the beach front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village (2005 Kalia Rd. Honolulu HI, 96815). Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Korean, Chinese, Japanese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
