100% worth the money. Very cool experience and the staff was very knowledgeable. Felt very safe at all times and could not believe how much space we all had to look out into the ocean. Saw a turtle, multiple eels and tons of fish. The artificial reef was amazing. Check this off your bucket list!

It was well worth the money spent. We took our 4 children ages 5 to 15 and they all enjoyed it very much! The tour guides were fun and did a great job of pointing things out to us! It felt safe and we saw a great variety of sea life. Would recommend to anyone!

Itinerary

The Maui Atlantis Submarine tour begins in Lahaina Harbor, where an open-air cruise brings you out to the dive site and sub. Transfer aboard the state of the art, air-conditioned submarine for an aquatic experience in search of wild marine life.

In 2005, an old whaling ship, the Carthaginian, was scuttled off of Lahaina, and today serves as an artificial reef for colorful coral and fish. Prior to its scuttling in 2005, this area was simply a sandy bottom with very little marine life, and today it houses indigenous fish and a vibrant coral reef.

In winter, from December-May, there’s even the chance of spotting whales on the journey out to the sub, and you never know if one might pay a visit while underwater!

Rich_V

Our family was looking for a spontaneous adventure, and we couldn't think of a better way to spend the day than revisiting a favorite memory. My wife and I had done this submarine tour back in 2007, and we were thrilled to bring the whole family back to experience it again. What made it even more special? The same captain from our 2007 trip was at the helm — a wonderful full-circle moment that made the experience feel truly personal. The tour runs about an hour and a half and is packed with incredible sights. We spotted eels, a wide variety of colorful fish, and were treated to an underwater world that left everyone in awe. The entire crew was warm, welcoming, and genuinely knowledgeable — they kept everyone engaged throughout the journey. If you're visiting with kids, especially young ones, this is an absolute must-do. It's the kind of experience that sparks a love for the ocean and creates memories that last — clearly, for us, nearly two decades! And for everything it offers, we found it to be very reasonably priced. Highly recommend for families, couples, and first-timers alike!

Great Adventure

sherry_o, May 2026

It was a great experience, saw a sea turtle, lots of fish, the tour guide was very knowledgeable, would definitely recommend do it again

Great tour, just don't expect vibrant colors

PamelaandDick_B, May 2026

The tour guide and crew were wonderful: friendly, informative and helpful. The submarine itself was an experience I'll long remember. But I gave it 4 stars because the views, with exception of the sunken ship, were not as exciting as I expected. Of course, this is no fault of the tour guide or crew, but a disappointment nevertheless. Would I go again? Definitely, especially in Oahu since it would be a different venue.

Atlantis Submarine Excursion

Jeanie_B, May 2026

Awesome crew! Informative and interesting excursion! Loved seeing so many fish, and a shark! Great wrecked ship and Sponge Bob to boot!

Great for those new to the waters of Maui and kids too

Cynthia_a, May 2026

This tour may be good for first timers who have never been out in the sea. - and for children. It was informative and crew was very nice . I had hoped to see more fish species and a longer underwater experience - but would not regret to recommend

Don’t hesitate. Book it.

Cameron_E, May 2026

Best experience and the best of people.

Chad_P, May 2026

Absolutely amazing, the Guide was so courteous and friendly and an absolute pleasure to talk to with a great sense of humor. The crew onboard are made up of some of the most amazing community driven people with hearts of gold in the wake of such tragedy they have witnessed in the fires they represent the best in humanity trying to help the community rebuild in the aftermath of the Lahaina fires. They represent the best of us. The tour was amazing and I will always remember the sights and experience but the crew of amazing people is what I will remember for life there dedication to safety, to the job and ensuring you have the best experience and the dedication to the community. Thank you

Good Tour

Elizabeth_C, May 2026

It was a good tour, the host was very knowledgeable and the team had a good amount of experience. I will say that the meeting place was a parking lot and the representative didn't show up at the time were were told to be there. It was hot waiting, and there was no contact saying that they were running late. Some of us were concerned that maybe we got scammed. We understood meeting at the parking lot as the area is not fully restored from the fires. However, there should be a number on the poster to call, when there are questions while waiting or to confirm information. But once the representative came, it all went well. We saw their sunken ship, a shark and several types of fish that the host told us about. We were comfortable in the boat that took us to the submarine, and the submarine accommodated everyone comfortably as well. Overall, I recommend this tour.

Geoffrey_G, Apr 2026

Although the weather conditions were not ideal (it was raining most of the time), the overall experience was great! The crew were wonderful and funny. We saw many different fish and even a white tip reef shark. When returning to the dock we also saw a pod of dolphins. I would highly recommend this experience and would happily do it again.

Atlantis submarine adventure to shipwreck and reef

Deborah_E, Aug 2023

The entire experience was a blast. Enjoyed seeing the reef, the ship, and all the amazing creatures. Spotted eagle rays were awesome, and we probably saw at least 10 different fish species, a white tip reef shark, and flying fish on the boat trip out to the submarine. We booked this adventure for out kid, but we all really enjoyed it.

Atlantis submarine
