About Atlantis Submarines Waikiki

Descend into the crystal-clear Pacific waters aboard the Atlantis Submarines Waikiki for an unforgettable underwater adventure just minutes from the heart of Honolulu. This fully pressurised submarine carries you over 100 feet below the surface to explore a vibrant artificial reef teeming with sea turtles, reef sharks, colorful fish, and sunken wrecks colonised by coral.

Local Legends & Stories

The waters off Waikiki have long been sacred to Native Hawaiians, who revered the ocean as the source of all life. Local tradition holds that green sea turtles, known as honu, are ancient guardians and messengers between the human and spirit worlds.

Must Do Experiences

Ride the catamaran out from the Hilton pier to meet the submarine waiting just offshore
Peer through the 64 individual viewports as green sea turtles glide past your window
Watch the pilot narrate the marine life and history of the sunken aircraft and vessels on the reef
Spot vibrant yellow tang clouds sweeping across the sandy ocean floor

Hidden Gems

Request a window seat on the right side when boarding — the afternoon sun angle creates less glare on the glass for better viewing
The artificial reef was intentionally created to rehabilitate the local marine ecosystem, making it one of the most biodiverse spots near Waikiki
Ask the crew about the specific history of the downed aircraft — it has become a beloved habitat for coral and fish over the decades

What Makes it Special

The only submarine tour departing directly from Waikiki with 64 private viewports so every guest gets an unobstructed underwater experience
Fully pressurised cabin stays dry, cool, and comfortable at normal surface conditions throughout the entire dive
A live naturalist pilot narrates the entire journey, sharing fascinating facts about Hawaiian marine life and ocean conservation

Available Facilities

Air-conditioned cabin gift shop wheelchair-accessible boarding professional photography services restrooms on-site catamaran transfer

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Visit between May and October for the calmest seas and clearest underwater visibility, making it easier to spot marine life. Winter months from November to February offer a chance to see humpback whales on the surface during the catamaran ride, adding an extra layer of wonder to the experience.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Turn off your flash — it will only reflect off the viewport glass and disturb the marine life below
Use a smartphone with a wide-angle lens or a compact camera with a macro setting for the best close-up shots of fish and coral
Hold your device steady against the glass and brace your elbows on the window ledge to minimise blur from the submarine movement

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Hawaiian culture places deep respect on the ocean, known as Kai, which is considered a living ancestor. Visitors are encouraged to observe marine life without touching or feeding the animals, honouring the local principle of malama kai, or caring for the sea.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

Summer family packages and school holiday promotions offer discounted child rates throughout June, July, and August
Winter whale-watching combo tours combine the submarine experience with guided catamaran excursions to spot humpback whales from November through March
Annual ocean conservation events in partnership with local marine groups often include special educational briefings before departures

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

All guests must follow the crew instructions during boarding and while aboard the submarine at all times
Those with certain medical conditions such as ear problems, heart conditions, or pregnancy should consult a physician before booking
Secure loose items and follow the safety briefing carefully, as the catamaran ride can involve mild movement

Visitor Information

Entry Fee

Pricing varies by age group, with discounted child rates available for those under the standard adult fare. Book online in advance through HolidaySG.com for the best deals and to secure your preferred departure time.

Visit Duration

The full experience lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour, including the catamaran transit and the submarine dive. Plan for around two hours total from arrival to return, factoring in check-in, safety briefings, and the underwater exploration time.

Accessibility

The submarine and catamaran are partially wheelchair accessible with assistance available from the crew. Guests with mobility concerns should contact Atlantis Submarines in advance to arrange accommodations for boarding and seating.

Overview

A catamaran takes you out from the Hilton pier, and then a real submarine surfaces alongside to collect you — sixty-four seats, a pressurised hull, and a large viewport at every single one of them.

The descent goes past a hundred feet, down to a purpose-built reef where sunken vessels and a downed aircraft have been colonised by coral over the years. Green sea turtles drift past the glass, reef sharks patrol the wrecks, eels withdraw into crevices, and clouds of yellow tang move across the sand while the pilot talks you through what you are seeing.

The cabin stays dry, cool and at ordinary surface pressure throughout, so nothing needs equalising and no swimming is involved at all. For anyone who has always wanted to see a reef properly but never wanted to put a mask on, this is the answer.

About Atlantis Submarines Waikiki

The waters that are directly off Waikiki are infamous for being crowded and unfriendly to many of Hawaii's most vibrant tropical fish. However, if you get past the surfers and tourists you can start to see some really interesting sea life. There is perhaps no better way to enjoy this than by getting down in the water aboard an Atlantis Submarine. They offer a number of excursions, which provide some really great views into Waikiki's warm tropical waters. They also have sunset tours, dinner tours, and premium tours, all of which see to the needs of your individual party. For an in depth view of Waikiki, head on over to the Hilton Hawaiian Village and enjoy one of these unique tours.
