After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
There’s no denying that the Hawaiian Islands are absolutely breathtaking – both above and below the ocean’s surface. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy to explore what’s below the surface of the Pacific Ocean surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. Of course, there is snorkeling, but you’ll only see so much, and while scuba diving gives you an entirely unique perspective, getting certified is hard work. So, what is the average person to do? Take a submarine tour, of course!
In Hawaii, there is no better submarine tour to take than Atlantis’ Waikiki tour, where guests can explore the vast Pacific Ocean on the Atlantis XIV - the world’s largest passenger submarine, which can accommodate 64 passengers.
A 20-minute boat ride that departs from Waikiki Beach brings passengers to the submarine, and then, once everyone is on board, dives nearly 100 feet below the ocean’s surface.
On this grand two-hour adventure, you’ll peer through large viewports and check out a variety of coral and vibrant marine life - including the occasional green sea turtle.
You'll even have the opportunity to check out some incredible sunken ships, airplanes and other artificial reefs known to attract a variety of sea life.
More than 12 million people have taken an Atlantis Submarine tour - whether in Waikiki, Maui, Kona, the Caribbean, or Guam, and after passengers are returned to shore by the shuttle, they are given a dive certificate. Where else will be you able to explore the depths of the Pacific Ocean with the comforts of a safely enclosed (and air-conditioned) submarine?
For more information, or to book a submarine tour for yourself, check out the Atlantis Submarine website.
Want to check out Hawaii’s sea life more closely? Consider booking a tour to snorkel at the famous Molokini, the remnants of a volcanic cinder cone of the coast of Maui, and one of the world’s premier snorkeling destinations.
