Description
Atlantis Submarine. Maui’s only real sub ride.
The Atlantis Submarine underwater excursion is one of the most unique tours you and your family can enjoy on Maui—and nobody needs to don a bathing suit! You’ll step onto a shuttle boat in Lahaina Harbor, cruise comfortably out to the Atlantis Submarine waiting for you offshore, and come aboard, climbing down a short ladder and settling comfortably into the air conditioned cabin of the sub. During whale season (December through April), you are likely to see humpback whales in the distance while you travel to the sub. The journey on the shuttle boat is fun in and of itself, but then the real adventure begins: you and your 47 fellow passengers are treated to a wild undersea experience that no tour on Maui even tries to duplicate!
Your experienced pilot and co-pilot gently guide the 65 foot sub through the sea to specific underwater sites that are chock full of marine life, while you gaze through the large portholes located all along both sides of the spacious cabin. As you descend over 100 feet below the surface, fish swim past you one by one and in the thousands! The pilot and co-pilot are also dedicated naturalists; they will describe the marine life as well as answer any questions you have about any of the amazing creatures you’ll see. There is a good chance you’ll glimpse blacktip reef sharks, eels, and jacks (ulua), as well as giant schools of goatfish. If you’re really lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of an octopus!
Among other sites, you will visit the sunken-ship-becoming-coral-reef Carthiginian, and later you’ll land in the sand at the bottom of the sea! How cool is that?
