Oahu: Atlantis Submarine Adventure in Waikiki

About this experience

Explore Waikiki’s marine mysteries as you dive more than 100 feet underwater in an air-conditioned, eco-friendly, battery-powered submarine! Enjoy stunning views of Waikiki’s coastline and iconic Diamond Head during the scenic shuttle boat ride to the dive site.

Discover fascinating reefs created from sunken ships, airplane parts, and other underwater structures. Along the way, you may encounter colorful tropical fish and other Hawaiian marine life.

Every dive is unique! Because we explore a natural ocean environment, marine life sightings vary and cannot be guaranteed. Ocean conditions, visibility, and wildlife activity all influence what guests may see.

Our submarines are quiet and emit no pollutants while exploring the ocean depths, ensuring marine life is left undisturbed.

Our 64-passenger submarine is Atlantis’s flagship vessel, offering comfort, plenty of headroom, and large viewing portals to watch nature in action. Join us for the undersea adventure of a lifetime!
