Excellent! - Excellent and fun experience that anyone would enjoy. We got to see giant schools of fish, ship wrecks, etc. It was a highlight of our trip and I would recommend everyone to experience it. They have a perfect safety record and are very experienced. We learned and saw a lot that most people never get to see. Definitely worth it!

Amazing - Wow, what an incredible experience! I'm still reeling from the sheer diversity of marine life I witnessed. The coral reefs were absolutely teeming with a kaleidoscope of colorful fish, each one more vibrant than the last. Schools of them darted and weaved through the water, creating a mesmerizing, living mosaic. But the real highlight, the moment that truly took my breath away, was encountering an eel! It was such a thrill to see one of these mysterious creatures in its natural habitat, gracefully gliding amongst the rocks. Its sleek form and watchful eyes made for an unforgettable sighting. It was an amazing reminder of the hidden wonders beneath the waves here in Kailua-Kona.

Very accommodating and fun! - Everyone that we worked with was wonderful and accommodating. Our youngest got sick just before our ride and they offered to change our reservation or refund us right away. This was amazing to me cause many other tour companies would just say too bad and keep your money. The submarine ride felt very safe and was a great experience for my kids who have only gotten to experience aquatic life at an aquarium or from the surface while snorkeling.

When else are you going to get to enjoy the views from a submarine? - This really felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I am never going to go scuba diving. Snorkeling is fun, but I only see the marine life and coral from above, since I stay at the surface. But the submarine took us underwater, and we had great visibility for seeing the coral reef, the fish, and the shipwrecks (absolutely teeming with life!)... we even saw a spotted eagle ray and its baby! It was an amazing experience, with a guide telling us what we were looking at and explaining the stories behind the shipwrecks. There's enough space for something like 48 passengers, with all the seats facing out so you can look out the windows. We didn't find it claustrophobic at all, and the submarine is Coast Guard approved. We felt really safe, so we could really enjoy the experience.

A fun family time! - It was amazing, knowing that we were 109 feet under the ocean! You always wonder what it looks like from down there! The submarine is comfortable and air conditioned. The guides are very knowledgeable and have interesting stories to tell! It was a fun time!

We waited for years to do this. - Meh. Starboard side had far fewer things to look at. It was comfortable enough and clean enough but the value for the money wasn't there.

Disappointed - It was incredibly expensive and lasted 45 min It was almost $200 an adult and $90 for a child The port side saw many schools of fish Us sitting on the other side hardly saw any of the schools of fish they saw and the sub never turned to show us IThe crew was competent but the trip was a bore. I would not recommend this adventure to anyone
