Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

  • Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
  • Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

  • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
  • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
  • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
  • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
  • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
  • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

  • Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
  • Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
  • Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
  • Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.

A Unique Experience

Set out from Waikiki in our state-of-the-art submarine to see the ocean up close! The tour starts with a shuttle boat that will take you to where you will board our submarine, the Atlantis XIV, and begin your underwater adventure properly. Once you board the vehicle, the underwater portion will last about 45 to 50 minutes and requires being able to descend an 11-rung ladder. The Atlantis XIV is the largest submarine of its type in the world and features onboard air conditioning, with large viewing windows to see the wonders of the oceans off Hawaii.

While on this journey, you can expect to see some incredible sea creatures and human-made reefs. Eels, green sea turtles, coral reefs, and dazzlingly colorful fish make their home in these waters. Additionally, we will pass by artificial reefs, old planes, and shipwrecks, with our guides telling you their stories as we do. If you want to hear the narration in a language other than English, we are more than happy to provide! With a quick download, you can hear the narration in the aforementioned English, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean. That way, everyone can get involved in the stories these magnificent waters hold.

  • Please meet at the Hilton Hawaiian Village (2005 Kalia Rd. Honolulu, HI 96815) at Atlantis beachfront pavilion in front of the Ali'i Tower. The boat will leave from the pier just out in front.

HOW TO BOOK THE ATLANTIS SUBMARINE TOUR FROM WAIKIKI

When I did the Atlantis Submarine Tour with my family, I booked with GetYourGuide , which is basically the number one online booking service for Oahu activities. The booking confirmation is immediate, you can see thousands of reviews and you can cancel anytime prior to 24 hours before the activity.

I’ve seen that especially during peak season, the submarine tours on Oahu can be booked out more than a week in advance. Therefore, if the island is packed or you are visiting in June or July you should book it online now. You can always cancel closer to the date with a $0 cancellation fee and immediate refund.

TOUR DESCRIPTION & MY EXPERIENCE ON THE OAHU ATLANTIS SUBMARINE TOUR

After locating the pier at the western end of Waikiki, we had to wait for about 30 minutes on the seating at the pier. However, we didn’t have to wait to board the boat for our first bit of entertainment. Several Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles popped their heads up right there next to the pier to the delight of the tourists waiting to board the boat.

We didn’t really need anything for this tour. I just brought my camera and a bottle of water. The shuttle boat docked and you could see everyone inspecting our vessel and wondering where the submarine was.

How these tours works are that first, the double-story shuttle boat ferries passengers out to deeper water to the submarine meeting point. The passengers then transition via a small walkway and head down the stairs into the submarine.

The boat cruise was a little surprise addition to the tour and was actually very pleasant. Many people do a Waikiki boat tour like this as an entire activity. We cruised out in perfect conditions and all of the passengers were able to admire the azure blue waters and the high-rises along the strip of Waikiki Beach .

oahu submarine tours

After about ten minutes, we reached the submarine meeting point. Our captain told us to keep an eye out for the submarine to surface as he was in direct contact via radio with the submarine pilot. All of a sudden, a circle of bubbles appeared and then the submarine popped up above the surface. It then navigated over to the side of our boat and unloaded its passengers before we made our way down the ladder and inside the submarine.

oahu submarine tours

Inside, there are two rows of seats that each have their own individual portal window. You can sit on either side and the pilot does a good job to make sure each side gets to see all of the wrecks. They can’t predict which side turtles or sharks will be on but they are professionals and do their best to make sure all passengers see as much as possible.

oahu submarine tours

The submarine pilots shut the hatch and we begin descending from the surface. At first, we are just in the middle of nowhere with only sand on the surface but quickly our guide begins to talk us through the landmarks we will be seeing over the next 45 minutes.

The major attractions throughout the Oahu Atlantis Submarine Tour are underwater Japanese seaweed farms, a WWII plane wreckage, and a sunken ship. However, throughout these sites, you will come across schools of Barracuda, Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, Black Tip Sharks, Eagle Rays, and a plethora of marine life. Nothing is guaranteed but all of these species use the wrecks as their home or resting/feeding place so there is always an unbelievable amount of action around the wrecks.

oahu submarine tours

Less than 1% of people ever go to the depth of 100ft but on this journey, you will make it to that benchmark. It is kind of like an airplane as it is pressurized so you don’t feel any impacts or ear-popping but there is a little depth gauge inside the submarine and the guide loved to let us know that we have hit triple figures.

oahu submarine tours

As someone who has scuba-dived at plane wrecks, shipwrecks, and different sites all over the world, this was still an excellent tour in my opinion. However, if you have never been scuba-diving this tour will blow your mind. It will be a completely new experience and the first and maybe last time you will ever be able to witness the marine life and underwater world 100ft below the surface. It’s a great activity for kids and will leave them with many questions about the ocean.

WHERE TO BOARD THE ATLANTIS SUBMARINE IN WAIKIKI

The exact meeting spot is on the pier that is over the water out the front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. If you put Tropics Bar and Grill into Google Maps you will get to the right spot. Tropics Bar and Grill is a beachfront restaurant right in front of the pier and it’s impossible to miss the pier, there is only one in that area and it has a big arch over the walkway.

PHOTOGRAPHY ON THE ATLANTIS SUBMARINE TOUR

While it may be an amazing experience, it is very difficult to get great photos from within the submarine. The windows are quite small. They are big enough to see through but hard to compose a nice photo sometimes through the portal. The reflection from the glass also made it difficult. However, the main setback for nice photos is that at 100ft of depth, there just isn’t that much color on offer. The deeper you go, the more color is lost and eventually, the entire scene looks like a faded blue or purple. There is no red, green, orange, or yellow at that depth. I would suggest just enjoying the ride and taking it all in with maybe one or two snaps on your phone but even with my photos, you can see there are limitations.

oahu submarine tours

HISTORY OF THE OAHU ATLANTIS SUBMARINE

Our guide from within the submarine did a great job at not just pointing out the marine life and underwater wrecks but also sharing the history of the region with us. Atlantis Submarine Adventures has been operating in Hawaii all the way back since 1988. They’ve also been acquiring, purchasing, and placing wrecks nearby to Waikiki for decades to create perfect scuba-dive and submarine points of interest.

One of the wrecks the Atlantis Submarine passes is the YO 257 wreck, which is a 175-foot-long navy oiler.

The Atlantis XIV Submarine is the largest hi-tech passenger submarine in the world. It was designed by Dennis Hurd, who is the CEO of the company.

THE FOUR MOST POPULAR OAHU TOURS

  • Doors-Off Oahu Helicopter Flight Tour : My number one recommendation is to do a heli-flight (doors off) and be blown away when you see Oahu from the air.
  • North Shore Shark Cage Tour : The biggest adrenaline rush you can have in Hawaii is beneath the surface with sharks!
  • Eco-Friendly Dolphin and Snorkel Tour : One of the best experiences I had on Oahu was swimming with the beautiful spinner dolphins on this exact tour.
  • Turtle Canyon Snorkel Cruise by Catamaran : The number 1 MOST POPULAR snorkel tour on Oahu. GUARANTEED Turtles!

WHERE TO STAY ON OAHU

  • Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort  (Overall Favorite) : In the heart of Waikiki, this high-end resort is right on the beach with a private lagoon.
  • Sheraton Waikiki   (Luxury) : A luxury resort with the most amazing infinity pool on the island, which overlooks the beach.
  • Ewa Hotel Waikiki : (Value):  Ewa Hotel is just one block back from the beach and is just over $150 USD.
  • Waikiki Beachside Hostel   (Budget Choice) : A budget alternative, which is still in an amazing location.
  • Disney Aulani Resort (Family Choice):  This is a resort your kids will never forget. It honestly feels like you are living in a theme park.

Latest reviews of Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

So glad I booked this. Took my teen and pre-teen and we had a blast. The crew was informative and hilarious and the scenery was incredible. Turtle sighting, humpback whale sighting, rain, shine, laughter, and two full do ... more uble rainbows over Honolulu and Diamond Head. Such a lovely evening. 10/10 would do again. Highly recommend.

It was a cool experience

It was a cool experience. We seen all kinds of fish, turtles, starfish and a shark. Definitely worth the experience the crew was great and knowledgeable. I would definitely go again

Great Experience!

It was the coolest thing to do! Wasn't quite sure what to expect, but loved it. Getting that close to the fish underwater. Amazing.

Great time with the family.

Was our last night and it made for a nice ending to our vacation. Beautiful views, nice music, and the BYOB. Tour guides explained safety and pointed out wildlife. Expected to see more wildlife and I understand it's ... more not a guarantee but felt the "glass bottom boat" description was a bit misleading. The glass bottom refers to maybe 4 small square areas on the boat you can look down and see a clear panel that shows what's in the water. Can't get up close or anything. Took 1 star off for that. Other than that, it was still a fantastic time, and my family really enjoyed it.

Amazing time!

It was such an amazing time. It was great to see the fish. It was great to be able to get great pictures. The staff were great to take photos for us with Diamond Head behind us. We would definitely do this again.
