We took the submarine when we were there at Christmas. To begin with, that far down in the ocean, everything is grey so all the fish were the same color. We had gone snorkeling at Hanauma Bay and there you could see the amazing colors of all the fish. Secondly, there wasn't much to see. We did see a small shark and we had to really strain to see the turtle lying on the sunken plane. If you go out on a paddle board or kayak just down the beach from the submarine dock, the turtles swim right up to you and will swim beside you, MUCH more exciting and satisfying. For us, it wasn't worth the money.

My husband and I did the vip submarine tour. Met up at the dock, nice little ferry ride out to the submarine and I enjoyed the view of Waikiki from off shore. The submarine was not crowded, lots of empty seats which was good for me or I think I might have felt a bit claustrophobic. We felt nothing of the descend or ascend. We went on a lunchtime tour as we hoped the light would be best then. It was a sunny day, not much swell, and visibility was probably as good as it gets. Not super clear but we did see the ship- and planewrecks on the bottom. A few fish and turtles too. I have never dived, and don't have any wish to do so either - one would probably see more diving, I'm guessing, but I'm happy with what I saw on this tour. My husband and I don't really like crowded touristy tours but thought we should do something other than driving to North Shore for surfing - and this tour suited us fine. We were not 'captured audience' for more than a few hours total, it involved sea and wildlife, the staff were all nice and friendly, and everything ran smoothly. No toilets in the submarine but the tour lasted 45 minutes which was long enough. I feel no need taking this tour again, but for anyone who hasn't been on a submarine I do recommend this tour. Might be even better view sitting anywhere other than in the very back of the submarine, there were airbubbles coming out every now and again that obscured the view. Good idea to bring a light jumper as it was quite cool from the A/C in the submarine. I'm glad I brought one.

While a little pricey, the excursion definitely provided a different perspective of the ocean off Waikiki. Great to see a lot of sea life just minutes off shore in the artificial reefs. Surprised at the clarity and amount of light at the depth of the tour.
