Great activity for all ages! - We had a great time, especially my daughter!We saw some spinner dolphins while boarding the shuttle boat, and we saw so many fish and beautiful coral! Only bummer we hadn't considered is that when you go down that deep, you cant really see any color... but thats just science, not the tours fault. We loved seeing the two shipwrecks as well! The crew did a fantastic job.

Awesome tour - Expect crossing over a gangplank from a topside boat to the sub. If you want to tip, bring cash. Expect people to be there with children.

Something most people do... - Something most people do once in lifetime. Highly recommend when visiting Kona. Tour lasts about an hour, very informative, clean and we felt safe the whole time in the tender boat to the submarine and in the submarine. Loved the commentary from the captain throughout the tour.

Experiencing a real Submarine - We had never been underwater in a real submarine before and decided to try this. We are not scuba divers but had been on several snorkeling adventures viewing beautiful corals and colorful fish. This trip offers the opportunity to see the coral and the fish ( plus a few shipwrecks) without getting wet or being fearful of swimming in the ocean. We enjoyed the new experience of traveling under water to a depth of more than 100 ft, viewing tropical fish, corals, shipwrecks, and learning the history of the Kona bay atea plus the story of the vehicle on which we were traveling. The only downside of the underwater trip was the view through the large portholes, which gave everything a blue tinge. This was understandable, therefore this is not the trip to take to get those beautiful colorful photos of fish and coral. This is a wonderful trip for anyone with a sense of adventure, and/or who has seen “Finding Nemo,” especially the kids!

Once more into the deep - Taking a submarine ride is something you should do once in your life. This was a very comfortable experience with the only caution being you must climb up and down a latter into the sub. There is plenty of room and you sit right in front of big windows. Gliding over the coral reefs in wonderful. What fish you see is random of course but they are there by the thousands.
