Saw things I have never experienced before - We had a wonderful experience with this submarine adventure. Loved going to the bottom of the ocean. Awesome to see the marine life. We had a bonus of dolphins playing along side the boat as we went back to dock. What a privilege to go on this adventure!

Great tour, really enjoyed it - We did the submarine tour the day before our kids' first snorkel expedition make them comfortable with the Hawaiian ocean and understanding what they might see. It was perfect for that, and we were dazzled by how many fish and interesting things we saw on the tour! Definitely recommended. Enjoyed our tour guides commentary, even saw two rays!

Not recommend if you are prone to have motion sickness - The tour itself was good, but I had a horrible motion sickness during the ride. If you are thinking about the submarine experience at Disneyland, you are totally wrong. It goes down over 100 feet of water and can get sick for 45 minutes. Unfortunately, the tour description didn't specify a possibility of motion sickness anywhere on the reservation sites. I was on the parasailing boat the day before and had no problem, but this submarine ride including the shuttle boat ride gave me an awful motion sickness. The submarine has a tiny space full of people and you have no space to turn your body around. Even with the air circulation, the ordor gets bad and it made me sick even more. If you are prone to get motion sickness, I don't recommend it.
