Maui
The kids enjoyed the views from the port holes! However it is height restricted so triple check!
We thought our guide and divers were awesome and the kids had a blast. I think we expected to see a bit more ocean life. We saw turtles, mostly just one kind of fish (Trigger fish) and some urchin. It was still fun, but I wouldn't spend the money to do it again now that I know there's not much to see. Thank you!!
did get to see a lot of fish through the port holes, awesome to be under the oceans surface
Very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had a good time from check in all the way to picking up our picture. The entire crew is awesome. Great experience!
I was able to see various fish and corals clearly on the seabed. The staff was friendly and nice, the boat was clean, and everything was explained in English throughout. Although the content being discussed at the time was different, there was a Japanese audio guide playing. The air conditioning inside the submarine was quite strong. It was a very enjoyable time.
いろんな魚や珊瑚など海底の様子がよく見れました。
スタッフはフレンドリーでいい感じ、船はキレイ、全部英語ですが終始いろいろ説明してくれます。
その時に見て話してる内容とは違いますが、日本語でガイド音声が流れます。
潜水艦内はクーラーが強いです。
とても楽しい時間でした。
I would do this again, as my family had a bunch of fun and its not too sun heavy!
Saw lots of really awesome fish below the oceans gorgeous waters!
This was a great alternative to actual snorkeling. The divers and staff were very informative and very friendly. They made sure everyone was happy and getting the most out of the adventure. However the water was murky and not a lot of ocean creatures. But you see what’s there at that time. Would do again. Certainly an experience we will remember.
This was a really fun little boat tour. Seeing the fish and sea life through the big windows was so cool. The boat ride wasn’t too long so it was the perfect activity to take our toddler on. The only thing I would caution others about this tour is sea sickness. The rocking of the boat can really be felt underneath it and can definitely make you feel sea sick. It’s probably not a good activity for people that have a tendency to get sea sick, although their staff is super outgoing and helpful to anyone feeling sick during the ride.
I strongly recommend doing it! Funny narrator and crew- adds to the experience. Other than cute little coral fishes- we came to the surface and there was a pod of dolphins swimming next to our shuttle boat! The captain was kind enough to go slowly so we all could enjoy this "after party"! Must do experience, unless you are in the Navy, how often would you be in a sub?
Good host is great
Divers are cool
No turtle nor much depth
Had such an amazing experience. Seen some incredible sights and sealife during the ride. 10/10.
The adventure is totally worth it! Very well organized, kind and humorous crew, plus expertise, and the sub is safe, clean and comfortable. The size is just right.
Would suggest the sound system be improved, especially for those seating toward the back of the sub- when children’s excitement or conversations of “oooh’s” and “aaah’s” are happening half way from the front, it is hard to hear . Nonetheless, the captain rotates the sub to ensure both port and starboard sides get the same views!
We were treated to a visit of a pack of stirring dolphins! And on our way back, a sight of a whale shark…. Not your everyday adventure.
Lot’s of fish, and a surprise reef viewing await those who want to take this great tour.
Great day in the water, seen lots of ocean life!!!
Our family had a wonderful time! We had 4 adults and 2 kids age 5 and 6.
The crew were so kind and helpful! They answered all our questions and really knew their material. We would definitely recommend this adventure to other families!
This was so much fun for my family! My 2 year old had so much fun and absolutely loved seeing the divers in the water. The whole crew were so great with my daughter and all so kind. The divers would give her high fives and fist bumps through the window, she loved it so much! The crew was so helpful getting on and off the boat and laughed at all my jokes lol. They are all so knowledgeable, smart, and so willing to help and answer questions. We definitely felt welcome and appreciated! Such an amazing experience for kids and adults alike! So thankful my daughter got to see fishies even though she can’t do things like snorkel.
I have been on a submarine for a tour, but never road on a submarine. Our tour saw sharks and a spotted sting ray and an array of fish. It was such a cool and different experience. I hope to return during whale season and do this again.
It was fun activity, great for whole family including kids/toddlers. The crew was very friendly. We saw turtles and dolphins and that was a plus!
The submarine was a neat experience to be inside but we didn't see as much sea life as we hoped. Of course that is not controlled by the crew but it was a little disappointing. I think a shallower experience would a shown more beauty. My kids did enjoy the little adventure though.
A great experience you see a lot of sharks the attendant that was give me the information. What do this activity again also the world was great and explaining everything while we were under the water
We like this tour, it was very well run, the staff kept you informed and entertained at the same time. My wife and went on this tour as part of our 40th wedding anniversary. We saw things that we would never have seen any other way.
We are very happy that we were able to experience this tour.
We would recommend to anyone.
Fun for the family, the kids really enjoyed it! The crew was friendly and made the experience memorable.
The staff was amazing! The tour is a wonderful experience. I was hoping to see more marine life, but of course that’s not in anyones control. That was my only disappointment. Otherwise everything was well organized. I would recommend this excursion at least once to experience it.
Upon arrival, the check in process was smooth. You can take a look at the Banyan Tree or take a quick stroll on Front Street after check in while you wait for the tour to start.
We found the crew to be incredibly friendly and professional. The submarine was clean and well air conditioned. There are no guarantees of what type of sea life will be around but we got lucky with a small shark and ray! Spent lots of time at the shipwreck site :) There are also some pretty amazing photo opportunities as you take the boat to/from the submarine.
Would highly recommend!
It was an overall great time. You get to see marine life that you wouldn’t get to normally see on a regular snorkel trip. The shipwreck is fantastic and such a great experience. Definitely recommend if you have younger kids.
We LOVED this- a dive in a submarine to see the world below with a variety of fish including sharks and unicorn fish, even a sunken ship which is now a man-made reef. We even set down on the ocean floor at 130 feet beneath the surface. Everyone had their own viewing porthole. Recommended.
We took our three boys (ages 8, 6, and 3) on this during our first visit to Maui and overall, really enjoyed ourselves. The host was witty and funny, even if he's likely reusing the same jokes over and over. Understandably, it doesn't appear as colorful as you'd expect because of how the lighting changes things through the windows, but it was a really unique experience. I would say happy we did it once, but wouldn't do it again.
To be honest, the only thing that really disappointed me was knowing that the sunken ship was completely staged for the submarine tours. It didn't feel authentic.
Pros - we got to see a lot of marine life! Sharks included. And the boatride to/from the submarine was really nice and the kids were pretty blown away when the submarine first popped up.
Great job to the tour guides and staff!
The experience was one for the books, I took my 2, 5, and 7 years old. The year-old was super excited about all the cool fish he saw. The 5-year-old attention span was about ten minutes, after that he was just out of it. The 2-year-old was looking for mermaids. So overall it was a success.
This was an awesome time for our 3 year old and the crew was awesome
