Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Very cool to be on a submarine. Great way to expand the possibility of seeing some cool wildlife.

This was a cool idea. You get to go down, see fish, reefs, shipwrecks, but I just did not have as much fun as I had expected to. The windows aren't really lined up well for you to remain seated, you have to lean forward quite a bit to see things. The staff was great. I just didn't really enjoy the experience overall.

We went on the submarine adventure for my birthday activity on Feb 9 and had a great time. The guide was funny and entertaining and also shared a lot of interesting information. (I believe his name was James). We saw a lot of fish, 2 shipwrecks, a couple of reef sharks, and went down to 109ft! It was a really cool experience and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique experience that takes up a small part of your day while in Kona!
