The tour guide was awesome. Ride in the submarine was awesome. Would do it again. Was worth the money.

Water is not as clear as you'd think. Can't see past about 10-15 feet. Saw 1 turtle, a lot of fish, and purposely sunken boats and planes. (I know this is not the fault of the staff.) Probably great for the kids, but lacking for me. The guide had a high-pitched voice. Between that and how quickly she spoke, I was not able to hear most of anything that she said. I wish all touristy places would recognize -- when you're speaking into a microphone -- you must speak low and slow. (I'm only 50 -- my hearing is pretty healthy.) The staff was friendly, and the shuttle-boat & sub were clean. Restroom a little scary-- but I'm sure that's hard to deal with on a rocking boat. I did not think this was worth $175. Maybe $100.

The Atlantis Submarines Waikiki location is within walking distance of all the major hotels along the beach. The tour starts with a fun boat ride a mile off the coast, where you transfer to the submarine and dive up to 100 feet to the floor. The submarine winds slowly around Atlantis's man-made reefs--structures like sunken ships and airplanes placed there for the fish to make their homes. It's a fun activity, but go in with reasonable expectations. The sand from the beach makes the water murky. You'll see some cool schools of tropical fish, and maybe even spot a starfish or two, but it's not like an aquarium. The fish won't have vibrant colors and you'll have to squint to see some of the ones pointed out by the guide. They'll try to sell you a silly keepsake photo on the way back at an eye-popping price. The rest of the excursion is worth the cost, though, especially if you don't have the time for scuba diving during your trip.
