Atlantis Submarines (Hawaii'i)

I'm trying to figure out which island would have the most interesting
sub tour. We're more interested in undersea life than in sunken ships
and planes (in part because we intend to visit the Pearl Harbor Memorial
separately), so my guess is we should pick Kona or Maui over Oahu, but
can anyone give me more knowledgeable advice?

Yes. Save your money. We took the sub ride out of Lahaina on Maui, and were
disappointed. Basically, the colors of the undersea creatures were not true
to life. If you are satisfied just to have the experience of being under
water in a controlled environment, have fun...but don't expect much in the
way of visual excitement.

We did it in Oahu in 2003. Boring. Not worth the time. =R=

Evelyn, it's best if you go snorkeling rather than take one of those
subs. There are plenty of places off Maui and Hanauma bay in Oahu where
u can do that. It's cheap too, just bring your googles and flippers.

The consensus does seem to be it's not worth it. (However, we did a
glass-bottomed boat in Australia and found it much better than
snorkeling, perhaps because I can't swim and so my snorkeling skills
were, ahem, minimal.)

However, in Cozumel, one could walk in chest-high water with a snorkel
mask and see lots of stuff, so if Hawai'i has places like that, I'm all
for it.
