Atlantis Submarine Tours in Maui

With over 1,900 kilometers of coral reefs lining the Hawaiian coast, thanks to Maui's calm, crystal-clear waters, snorkeling is one of the most popular activities to do during a trip to the island.

Beneath the surface lies an unknown universe where all kinds of sea creatures coexist with the remains of enigmatic sunken ships. Do you feel the call of adventure? Dare to discover the bottom of the sea aboard the Atlantis Maui submarine and feel like the legendary Captain Nemo from the novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" for a while.

There is no doubt that the landscapes above the surface, enveloped in the lush vegetation of the tropical rainforest, are a beautiful treasure, but the Pacific Ocean also hides real gems that are worth discovering.

Most people are familiar with the underwater charms of Hawaii while snorkeling, but unlike the Atlantis Maui submarine, they don't descend 30 meters below the surface to observe the rich underwater life that inhabits the waters of Maui.

If you've never been aboard a submarine to explore the depths of the ocean, this is definitely an adventure you must experience during your vacation in Maui. The adrenaline and excitement skyrocket as the vessel descends into the depths of the Pacific.

Why I like it: It's not every day you get to experience something like this and see a multitude of tropical fish, manta rays, green turtles, whales, and coral reefs in their natural habitat, as if you were just another sea creature, while a guide explains in detail all sorts of interesting facts about the flora and fauna that live here.

Recommended... If you are traveling with family, with older people or children. The little ones will be amazed riding in a real submarine and can imagine they are explorers on an adventure at sea, observing the remains of a sunken ship covered in coral and all the little animals that live in the depths.

If you're traveling to Maui attracted by its beautiful beaches and the many water sports on offer, I recommend taking the opportunity to combine a snorkeling cruise with a trip on the Atlantis Maui submarine. It's one of the most fun and complete experiences you'll have in Maui!

You'll start the day with some snorkeling. The operator will provide the equipment, so you won't have to worry about renting it. You'll depart early from Lahaina Harbor for Lanai, where the boat captain will choose the best spots with the clearest and calmest waters for swimming with tropical fish, manta rays, eels, dolphins, green sea turtles, and other animals.

After snorkeling and lunch, it's time to get back in the water, this time aboard the Atlantis Maui submarine. The adrenaline rushes as the vessel descends 30 meters into the darkness of the ocean depths.

Why I like it: During the tour, you'll see all kinds of Hawaiian green turtles, tropical fish, manta rays, whales, eels... and even a sunken ship covered in coral reefs! The scene is truly mysterious, but a guide will explain its origin in detail and share lots of interesting facts about the fauna and flora that live here.

Recommended for: If you don't have much time in Maui but don't want to miss the opportunity to explore the island's waters in every way possible. With this tour, you can combine the thrill of diving among tropical fish with the magic of a submarine trip to the bottom of the sea, all in one day.

Submarine tours to see the depths of the ocean cost around $130.

However, if you're on a tighter budget and would like to see a little of what's in the waters of Maui without spending a lot of money, a more economical option is snorkeling. You can find kayak tours with snorkeling for around $80 to $100.

It's easy! I recommend booking your Maui submarine tour online in advance of your trip.

This will guarantee your spot, as these activities are very popular and tend to sell out quickly, especially if you are traveling to Hawaii during peak season.

To book, simply select the date and number of travelers. You must pay at the time of booking to secure your place on the activity.

Absolutely, as it's not every day you get the chance to ride in a real submarine and enjoy such an exciting experience exploring the depths of the Pacific.

Unlike snorkeling tours where you dive to see underwater life at the surface, if you join the Atlantis Maui submarine tour, you'll travel to the bottom of the ocean to observe the fauna and flora that live there in all their splendor, which normally go unnoticed by our eyes. You'll even see a sunken ship shrouded in mystery!

The clear waters surrounding the island of Maui are the perfect setting for a tour as unique as this one.
During the submarine ride through the depths of the ocean, you will have the opportunity to enjoy an unusual, beautiful, and surprising landscape.

If you are passionate about the sea and photography, you will thoroughly enjoy this excursion because it will reveal the secrets hidden in the waters of Maui, such as sunken ships covered in coral reefs and all kinds of aquatic creatures, including tropical fish, eels, sea urchins, manta rays, green turtles, and whales, among others.

I recommend reading the article Marine Life in Hawaii to learn more about the animals you'll see during the activity.

Plus, it's not every day you get to ride in a submarine to see the depths of the Pacific, so that's another reason to book your spot on this exciting adventure. Don't hesitate! It'll be one of the most special memories you'll take home from your trip to Maui.

Yes, there is enough personal space inside the submarine to feel comfortable during the ride, and the windows are large so you can see everything without missing a thing.

If you've never been on a submarine before, you may feel a little apprehensive about feeling claustrophobic inside the vessel, but there's no need to worry because you'll see that this isn't the case.

The company offering this activity has state-of-the-art submarines approved by the Coast Guard and equipped with air conditioning for the safety and comfort of all passengers.
