86%Solo-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 86% Solo-Friendly: A solo traveler easily books a seat, gets live narration and clear porthole views; the 1.5-2 h outing fits flexible schedules, but the high US$185 fare and lack of on-board restroom lower appeal.

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!

WOW!! It was really cool to go down in a submarine! Totally worth the money! The guide I had was very informative about the sea life and setup of the tour. I would definitely do this again just to ride in a submarine!
