All Reviews for Submarine Tour & Glassbottom Boat

My experience at the Atlantis submarine was splendid. Unbelievable experience that I would definitely repeat again amd again. Till this moment I think the trip was a dream to me. I think it was a dream, it wasn't real J.
unfortunately, Saudi Arabia is far far away from Maui and repeating the fantastic experience is somehow not easy. I strongly recommend people of all ages, all backgrounds to try the submarine. I posted all photos on my instagram and followes are so surprized that they think it was unreal !!!

I might have had too high expectations for the mystery of the ocean, but the underwater visibility was low, making it difficult to see the fish and coral.

海の中は神秘的と期待しすぎていたからかもしれないが、海中は、透明度が低く、魚やサンゴがみえにくかった。

Enjoyed the submarine adventure very much. Staff was very helpful and professional. We took the submarine adventure because I love to snorkel but my husband doesn't snorkel. I wanted him to see what I see under water and the submarine adventure surely accomplished that.It was his very first time to be able to see this world under water.

My wife and I we had a great time and experience , I think if some one wants to do snorkeling it is better try this one. You will sit down on a nice cool Semi Submarine, and will see under water and have nice fresh air on the board as well. Try it.

Something that everyone should do once! Not something I would suggest if you have done it else where. Very cool but may not be worth the money to some.

Had mechanical problems before our scheduled time and we got started 15 minutes late but still got back in time for the next group to go. Didn't get the full hour. Saw some fish but not as many as expected. Saw more fish snorkeling. Was interesting to have someone show and tell what creatures were there.

Good Activity, we took our group of 7 (3 children) on a dive. All was as advertised, we left on schedule, no long wait, it was well organized. Well narrated and clean.

Was a good time.. Wish we coulda seen more wildlife but was good

excellent, lot of fun, recommend to everyone, staff is amazing and helpful, will do it again

Great family fun, way cool, crew was very entertaining, great experience!

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE - TOO FUN AND COMFORTABLE A GREAT WAY TO SEE EVERYTHING WITHOUT GETTING WET!

It was a great adventure made fun with Crews humorous dialog!

There be amazing sights beneath the waves. What a wonderful experience for someone with bad claustrophobia (spelling it is the toughest part). You heard right you land lubbers, this terrific tour is truly for everyone. The crews are pleasant and very accommodating. Every part of the trip is safety first, and the underwater views are, well take a look. Enough said!

We had a great time on this adventure. It is suitable for all ages. It was great seeing what was on the ocean floor. The staff were very friendly. The snack provided was great. I would recommend this to everyone

Saw some very interesting sea life; the "ocean piranhas" were crazy. Wished we could have seen the sea turtles up close.
Staff was very friendly and informative.

I went on this ride several years ago and it was even better than I remembered. We got to see a sunken ship. We saw several different kinds of fish as well as a few sharks. We had a really good time. You can tell that the people who do this for a living really love their jobs! If you are going to Maui and do nothing else this is the one thing you ABSOLUTELY must take part in!

The timing was great on the trip. They made it clear how things would work. We couldn't have ask for anything more for the price.

I participated alone from 9 AM, and since there were about 13 people in a 45-person capacity, I was able to enjoy it comfortably. I recommend the early morning trip since the next one was fully booked with 45 people.

When I think of submarines, I remember DisneySea, but this time it was the real ocean, which was exciting. It was great to see many fish and rays, but if I could have seen sharks or whales, my rating would have gone up even more (laughs).

But since these are natural creatures, there's not much you can do about that. The crew members were very kind. By the way, the person at the check-in counter was Japanese. Also, the weather in Maui has been bad lately, so I recommend checking the weather for a week and participating on a clear day (^^).

午前9時から一人で参加しましたが、45人乗りのところを13人くらいだったのでゆったりと楽しむことができました。次の便では45人満杯だったので朝一の便をおすすめします。

潜水艦といえばディズニーシーを思い出しますが、今回は本物の海でしたので興奮しました。たくさんの魚とエイを見れたのはよかったのですが、サメやクジラが見れたらさらに評価は上がっていたでしょう（笑

でも自然の生き物ですからこのあたりは仕方ないですね。クルーの皆さんはとても親切でした。ちなみにチェックインカウンターの受付の方が日本人の方でした。あと、ここ最近のマウイは天気が悪いので、参加されるときは1週間の天気を調べて快晴の時に参加することをおすすめします(^^)

I can't physically snorkel so this was the next best thing. We saw a shark immediately--pretty cool. The staff was wonderful. The divers brought sea life to the windows for all to view. We wish we could have seen more diversity, but no one can control mother nature. We had fun and enjoyed the sea life we did see.

This was great for our family trip to Maui with my 2-year-old daughter. Obviously bringing her restricted us to do only a selected activities, but we're glad that we got to do this. She loved it! Highly recommended to those families with small children!

Not our favorite activity. Not much to see underwater, not like the aquarium experience we had hoped for. The staff were fabulous but still felt like a waste of time. Even our children, ages 11 and 9, were bored.

This activity allows people to see what you would see snorkeling from the comfort of the boat.

During this trip to Maui, we had to give up snorkeling because a certain someone brought a hammer, and instead, we decided to endure a submarine experience. However, it turned out to be more exciting than we expected.

We took a boat from Lahaina Harbor to the submarine, and after watching it surface, we boarded the submarine and descended to the ocean floor. The boat captain's wife is Japanese, and she graciously welcomed us in her limited Japanese. The Japanese narration we heard through the headsets inside the submarine was actually her voice. The sight of colorful small tropical fish swarming around the coral reefs and near the sunken ship was breathtaking. The only disappointment was that the depth of the water absorbed the red colors, making them less vibrant. After about 30 minutes of diving, we surfaced and transferred back to the boat. This time, we watched the Atlantis submarine dive before heading back to Lahaina Harbor.

I hadn't considered this before participating, but I think the timing set for Alan1 is perfect for sightseeing. This is because, being my second time, I could enjoy watching the Atlantis surface and dive from the boat, and since it was getting sunnier, the ocean floor was bright. Plus, being in the morning, the sea was calm. I was truly impressed with Alan1.

　今回のマウイ島旅行グループに何故かかなづちが迷い込んでいた為、スノーケルは諦め、潜水艦で我慢する事にしました。ところが、予想以上の面白さに大興奮でした。
　ラハイナの港からボートで潜水艦付近まで行き、浮上してくる潜水艦の様子を見た後、その潜水艦に乗り込み海底へ。ボートのキャプテンの奥様が日本人なのだそうで、かたことの日本語で精一杯もてなしてくださいました。潜水艦の中で貸してくれるヘッドセットから聞こえてくる日本語の案内は彼の奥様の声なのだそうです。海底の珊瑚礁、沈没船付近に色鮮やかな小さな熱帯魚が群れなしている光景は圧巻でした。残念な事は、水深が深すぎる為に赤い色が吸収されてしまい、赤みに欠けてしまっていることくらいでしょうか。３０分位の潜水の後、浮上し、再びボートに乗り移り、今度はボートから潜水していくアトランティスを見送った後、ボートはラハイナ港へ。
　参加する前には考えが及ばなかったのですが、Alan１で設定されている時間が観光にはベストだと思いました。何故かというと、２回目なので、ボートからアトランティスが浮上してくるところ、潜水するところ、が眺められる事と、日差しが強くなって来る時間なので海底が明るい事、午前中なので海が穏やかな事、さすがアランワンちゃんと思いました。

This was a very family-oriented activity. Of course, the kids loved the submarine. Being from Iowa, we don't get to see much marine life, so it was exciting to see them underwater in the wild. We will do this again when we come back to Maui someday. Mahalo!

I participated in a tour without pick-up on January 24 at 9 AM. We boarded a small boat and listened to explanations inside the submarine as we made our way to it. It took about 15 minutes, but the view of the island from the sea was very beautiful, and since it was January, we were able to see whales as well.

We transferred to the submarine on the water. The boarding order started with a large group, and I ended up boarding last, sitting right next to the pilot and the guide. Perhaps it was to help solo participants get to know each other?

We looked out through a round window about 40 cm in diameter and 15 cm thick, observing the underwater scenery. With beautiful bubbles, we quickly descended to the seabed, which was a blue world with few colors. We quietly moved towards a spot where many fish could be seen, changing the submarine's direction so that both the people on the right and left could see the fish well, passing through schools of fish, coral, seaweed, and sea urchins. Suddenly, a large fish appeared, and the guide's shout of "sushi fish!" made everyone burst into laughter!

I felt there were fewer fish than expected, but since it was a deep and vast underwater world, they were probably scattered around. The submarine headed towards a sunken ship, and after observing the fish living there, we returned. In the end, I was thrilled to see three rays swimming slowly. I wanted to see a sea turtle, but I was told, "They don't come to such deep places far from land." I wondered why there was a sea turtle depicted in the pamphlet.

We surfaced with bubbles and exchanged groups with the next tour participants before returning to the port.

I was able to have a valuable submarine experience, and while it wasn't 20,000 leagues under the sea, it was wonderful to see a world I couldn't dive into myself. Moreover, it was a tour where I could enjoy the foreign atmosphere with a guide who entertained everyone and fellow participants having fun. Out of 48 people, I was the only Japanese, so I was quite anxious, but there were Japanese explanation materials and audio guides available on board, so it was fine.

Above all, the staff was considerate, allowing me to have a great time. They took photos during boarding, and those who wanted could buy them for $20 when disembarking. The guide made sure to pose with me for a photo since I was participating alone! A short DVD of the submarine experience was also included, making for a wonderful keepsake. I didn't quite understand, but they were selling tickets for $25 on board that allow free rides at any Atlantis for a year.

I went to Maui with my wife and our two elementary school children. One of the goals of this trip was to show the kids the fish in the ocean, so we participated in a submarine tour.

We took a boat from the harbor in Lahaina to the submarine docking point, and from there we boarded the submarine. Inside the submarine, there were small round windows in front of each seat, allowing us to see into the ocean. Once everyone was on board and we received a brief explanation, we began our descent. Since the depth was displayed in feet, it didn't register immediately, but we quickly reached over 100 feet (about 30 meters) below the surface, and the underwater exploration began. The seabed was sandy, with few corals and fish. The kids were excited to see a sea urchin, but my wife and I were a bit disappointed. However, after a while, we arrived at a coral that seemed to be a large fish habitat, where we encountered a school of brightly colored fish (I forgot their names) swarming around the coral. This was incredibly exciting for all of us—my wife, the kids, and me. It was the first time in my life I had seen such a large school of fish.

The underwater exploration continued as we moved to the next fish habitat, where we encountered a different school of shimmering silver tropical fish, and once again, the whole family was thrilled. Finally, we were lucky enough to see a manta ray gracefully swimming by, almost as if it were flying.

After the dive, my son said on the boat heading back to the harbor, "Let's come to Maui every year to see the fish!" I felt relieved, knowing we had achieved the purpose of this trip. I am truly grateful to Atlantis Submarines for providing us with such a wonderful experience.

妻と小学生の子供たちと4人でマウイに行ってきました。今回の旅の目的のひとつは、子供たちに海の中の魚を見せてあげることだったので、潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。

ラハイナの港からボートで沖の潜水艦の停泊ポイントまで行き、そこから潜水艦に乗り込みました。潜水艦の中には、小さな丸い窓が一人一人の席の前にあり、そこから海の中を見ることができる構造になっていました。全員が乗り込み、簡単な説明を聞き、潜水開始、フィート表示なので、すぐにピンと来ませんでしたが、あっという間に100フィート（30Mぐらい）超の海底に達し、そこから、海底散策が始まりました。海底は砂地で、珊瑚も魚も少なく、子供たちは、うにを見て喜んでいましたが、私と妻はがっかり。しかし、しばらくすると、大きな魚の棲家のような珊瑚にたどり着き、その珊瑚に群がる大群の鮮やかな色の魚たち（名前忘れました）に遭遇。これには、さすがに、妻も私も子供たちも大興奮。人生の中で始めてあんなにたくさんの大群の魚を見ました。そして、さらに、海底散策は続き、次の魚の棲家へ、そこでは、さっきの棲家と違う銀色に光る熱帯魚の大群に出会うことができ、またしても、家族全員大興奮。そして、最後は、ラッキーなことに、マンタ（エイの一種？）が優雅に空を飛ぶように泳いでいく姿も間近に見られました。

潜水を終え、息子が港に向かうボートの中で、「毎年、マウイに来てお魚を見る！」といったことで、私は、今回の旅の目的を達したとほっとする思いでした。こんなに素晴らしい体験をさせてくれたアトランティス潜水艦には本当に感謝です。

This trip was with my parents, so I couldn't participate in activities like scuba diving, which is why I joined this tour. I was told that only the 9:00 AM session had Japanese language support, but since we were in Maui, everyone except for us and a couple was foreign. All the explanations and the talks on the boat to the submarine were in English, but the atmosphere was very American and really lively. The submarine experience is something you can't have in Japan, and the underwater scenery was truly beautiful. It was even better than an aquarium. Since the location was Lahaina, we explored Lahaina after the tour. Front Street had many shops, so we never got bored.

今回の旅行は両親と一緒ということで、スキューバ等のアクティビティができないので参加しました。
９：００の回のみ日本語ありということだったのですが、マウイということもあって私たちとカップル２人以外
外国人でした。説明や潜水艦にいくまでの船内の話もすべて英語だったのですが雰囲気がアメリカらしく
すごく盛り上がってました。潜水艦は日本では経験できないし、海の中は本当にきれいでした。水族館
以上ですよ。場所がラハイナなので終わった後はラハイナ散策しました。フロントストリートはたくさんの
お店があってあきませんでした。
