I want to preface this by saying that I’m a professional tourism worker. I have worked most jobs in a tour company and the way they handled the cancellation of our tour was horrific. My dad booked the tour through a vendor down Alii and was so excited to bring his family and go on a submarine. We made it to the dock and 10 minutes before the tour start time the tour representative said we were waiting on more people, then 5 minutes later said the tour was cancelled due to visibility. I understand that the weather changes and doesn’t always work with us, I now work as a boat captain, weather happens. Though we did hear other passengers say they heard that there was just not enough people booked and they wanted to reschedule to a later time. I don’t know if this is true as we couldn’t reschedule because my family left in the afternoon. What was truly appalling was how they handled the cancellation. We were told to go to the office across the street, after waiting in line we were told we needed paperwork from the office in the hotel, then when we got there they sent us back to the place we bought the tour from!! What the heck! As I said I’m a professional tourism worker, I’ve worked many cancelled tours, and any time we’ve cancelled at the many different companies I’ve worked for we’ve handled the refund no matter who the person booked through. Even if it was through TripAdvisor or a 3rd party tour salesman, the company would make all the calls necessary! Everyone was so bummed for the tour to be cancelled and then to have to spend their last morning running around place to place being (irritatedly might I add) told to go from place to place was unacceptable. If you need to cancel you need to handle the refund! Even if it wasn’t booked through you. It’s basic customer service. Will not recommend to anyone based on this experience.

We really enjoyed our visit on Atlantis Submarine Adventure. The crew was very professional and courteous. The sub takes you around the reef 113' below the surface for views of many fish and 2 ship wrecks. I wish the seat were a bit lower or the portholes higher; that was my only complaint was that I had to lean forward and crouch a bit to get the full view out. Great experience and highly recommend it!
