Check out Atlantis Submarines Waikiki, the most technologically advanced passenger submarines in the world and the only true submarines operating in these waters. You’ll descend 100 feet into another version of paradise – one hidden even from the people of Hawaii for centuries. Your submarine journey will take you to a dive site filled with tropical fish, coral, sea turtles, and sunken shipwrecks and airplanes that attract all of this marvelous sea life.

To observe the magnificent aqua-blue ocean abundant with marine life of Hawaii from a submarine is a “must do” and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Both subs have spacious air-conditioned interiors. The actual length of the dive AND the dive route are identical on both tours.

Cruise Ship Passengers

The Atlantis Submarine dive is available for cruise ship passengers in port in Oahu but no transportation from the pier is provided to Waikiki. We recommend that you do your submarine dive when you are in port in Kona, since the check-in there is right across the street from the cruise ship dock. Save $10 per person off the cruise ship rate and book your Kona Submarine Dive with us.
If you are extending your stay in the Hawaiian islands with extra nights in Honolulu before or after your cruise, we recommend one of the money-saving combo packages featured above.
