The Atlantis Submarine tour was an excellent experience! It’s not every day that you get to ride in a real submarine, so I consider it something truly special.

Amazing experience! So informative and so neat to see the ocean floor! You ride a charter boat,which has amazing views of Honolulu and Diamond Head, before arriving at the submarine. The submarine goes around sites that Atlantis set up as fish sanctuaries on the ocean floor so there's tons of fish and wild life to see! Highly recommend!
