Fun excursion for everyone
This excursion is well orchestrated and run. They run exactly on time. You do have to take a boat to the submarine site. Once at the site, they get you on the submarine and down into the vessel. It is extremely large and every person gets a porthole so they can view the underwater sea life. The captain of the vessel is funny and he has a lot of wit and truly tries to get the crowd to engage you get to view a sunken airplane, ship, and other artifacts we were lucky enough to see a shark and a sea turtle. There were several other fish that we saw as well. This trip was well worth it and truly fun for everyone.

Surprised
Never did make it the booth. From what I understand is. All you get is pair of headphones and listen to the neration of Pearl harbor. The ride to the Arizona is free.
