Have you ever wanted to take a ride on a submarine? For many the answer is no. Cramped, stuck underwater in a tin can, fear of radiation, etc. Okay, let’s not get too dramatic but it doesn’t sound like a lot of fun. I mean, I’ve seen Das Boot and The Hunt for Red October and none of those really looked like fun. But then again I have also seen 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and that looked pretty cool. Comfy and plush and some really cool windows to look out at the undersea world. That is a submarine I would like to ride in.
Well I’ve got news for you, thanks to Atlantis Adventures you can actually experience a real submarine without the fear of getting depth charged into oblivion.
Have you ever been on the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride at Walt Disney World? Imagine that, but the real thing! You board the submarine from the transport ship just like in the movies, through the hatch, down the ladder and to a seat looking out a huge porthole. Don’t worry, the porthole doesn’t open and is three inches thick (it is a submarine after all). For the next hour you get to experience a world unlike any other. You glide along the ocean bottom up to 100 feet below the surface looking at spectacular fish and marine life of all sorts that make their home among the natural and artificial reefs. Sharks, beautiful tropical fish, sea turtles, even the occasional dolphin. You get to see them all up close and personal while the guide tells you all about the amazing marine life. For an hour we glided through the ocean, all three of us entranced by the beauty. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon in Paradise. A pretty amazing way to create memories of a lifetime if I do say so myself!
About Atlantis Submarine Tours
Climb aboard Atlantis XIV, the world’s largest hi-tech passenger submarine which holds a whopping 64 passenger — that’s 16 more people compared to our smaller 48-passenger submarines!
Being in a submarine and descending to 100 feet underwater is an adventure in itself. You will also get to see real marine life up close. The Atlantis Waikiki dive site is home to many Hawaiian fishes, coral, and turtles. Known for its quality and safety, Atlantis is an eye-opening experience that takes you beyond the classroom as you learn about coral, reef life and submersibles while visiting our sunken shipwrecks, airplane and other artificial reefs. Atlantis has a spacious air-conditioned interior, large view ports and comfortable seating. If you haven’t been to the bottom of the ocean before, this tour is a “must do!”
The Atlantis Premium Submarine Tour takes place aboard the world’s largest hi-tech 64-passenger submarine! The large submarine offers an enhanced amount of personal space and large viewports (compared with the other Atlantis subs). A complimentary Atlantis Souvenir Dive Log with gift shop specials is included. In addition to these special bonuses available only to Premium Tour passengers, our spectacular 64-passenger submarine provides a more comfortable environment complete with larger view ports which provide more than 65% greater viewing area compared to our smaller submarine. Additionally, passengers will find more personal space per guest and individual seating complete with seat-backs compared to the bench-style seating on our other submarines.

would love to do this — it sounds so intriguing!
I think I’d love to do this once, just to experience it. The ocean is so beautiful and I doubt I’d ever try scuba diving so this is the next best thing.
Oh this sounds so nice! Thank you for sharing with us…
I so much like this…underwater.. Beautiful 🙂
Wow this is coll. This is the first I have heard of this.
I did this in Hawaii and it is amazing! I had a bit of sick feeling when first going down (when I could see the water splash on the windows), but once submerged it was smooth sailing. It was such a fun way to see the ocean and its inhabitants.
this would be awesome. I would love to take my grandchildren on this. It has to be beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing
That sounds like fun. I’d give it a try. once! I am not fond of small spaces, or the water, but it would be a once in a lifetime experience.
