An awesome experience and a great value. I went with my 10 year old son and we were both able to stand on the board and stay up (for a little while, at least)in our first 2 hour lesson. Our instructor, John, took individual time with each of the students in our group(there were 5 overall)and made sure to go over the basics before we even hit the water. A wonderful, fun, and safe experience - I highly recommend this school. They created 2 new lifelong surfers!

Saw alot but didn't have much free time to eat or shop for souveniers. Still would recommend to all.

Seven of my family members made the trip from Maui to Oahu on this trip. We had a great time. Our tour guide, Tiny, was fabulous! He was so informative and funny!! He definitely made the trip worthwhile. The tour was fast-paced, but we got to see everything that we wanted. The greeters at the airport were very friendly and explained the details of the trip to us so that the whole day went smoothly. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Loved it! Dan was very knowledgable, been on this road twice, driving and this tour. the limo van is the only way to go. Food, sights, and guide phenominal. A nightmare to drive yourself, and too long of a trip for kids or people with little patience. Can not miss road to hana if you go to Maui.

Our guide, Randy was fantastic. I was a little upset with your company that they did not portrait the excursion correctly. It was supposed to be an Eastern Maui excursion going 25 miles down the Road to Hana then to the Garden of Eden. This is not correct. That excursion had been replaced with a more difficult Western Maui location. We did not travel the Road to Hana, nor see the Garden of Eden. This was a more strenuous hike and climb. I have an injury to my shoulder and would have not chosen this adventure if it was represented correctly by your website and your staff that I spoke to. All in all, I would reccomend this escursion to others without existing injuries. Our guide did a great job and was very informative.

Our guide, Mike was wonderful - he was funny, knowledgable, and very helpful to everyone that needed it. We have 14 year old twins (boy and a girl) and I think they might have enjoyed the tour more than us, if that's possible. It was more than we expected and turned out to be the best tour we did in the 7 days on the islands. (we were on a cruise).

The activity itself is wonderful! We then ordered the 12 pictures from their "expert camera" and were EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED at the content and quality of the picutes. The color of the parachute was faded, 2 of the 4 people has 3 consecutive picures taken, basically all of the same picture, AND 2 of the other pictures were blurred and out of fovcus. This was our second time adn a college gratuation celebration for 3 members of the group and these picture memories were NOT AT ALL what we expected or paid the $20 for. I work as a Vacation Planning Advisor and will be spreading the word NOT to purchase pictures on this activity.

The Luau was awesome. The show was beyond my expectation. I had no prevoius experience with a luau before and it was way beyond what I expected. The hula girls can definiteley move their hips more than you can imagine. The guys were very entertaining, especially the one that was really into it, by yelling with enthusiasim and twitching his eyebrows to make you pay direct attention to him, he was the hit of the show besides the Samoan import that performed an excellent fire show.
The food was above average, would of been better if the pork wasn't dry, try medium next time. But food is hard to control some times when you have over 500 people to serve. Other than that it was awesome. Can't remember the host's name, she did an awaesome job blessing the food. Too many places do not engage in prayer. If you pray and believe in Jesus, he will come thru for you.

I could not have been happier about this snuba experience. From the moment we arrived the staff were so welcoming and genuinely kind that it made us newlyweds feel right at home. The boat was the perfect size with plenty of room for everyone. I could go on and on about the captain, crew, boat, sites, atmosphere, fish, and TURTLES... but this truly was an amazing experience that we will pass on to our family and friends as a must do when visiting Maui.

I have to give props to the crew and the captain for making this the most enjoyable time i have ever had. Everyone on the crew was friendly, helpfull, curtious and just plain nice to be around. Was expecting a little more on the snuba dives, but i went in thinking discovery channel quailty. But the dive was still fun non the less. We got to see sharks, turtles, sea slugs, eels and much more exotic fish. And i was this close to a turtle! I would recommend this activity with auqa adventures any time for many reasons. The first being a great crew and second it was a smaller boat and not the big tourists one that can get anonying with all the screaming kids. When we take another vacation back to maui we are definatly doing this again!

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 was my first time participating, and I was truly satisfied! The smoothness from application to participation was great, but the sunset from Haleakalā was beyond words... I was reminded that the Earth is round and that it is so beautiful.
This time, I participated with my 7-year-old child and my husband. My child seemed a bit tired and was in a bad mood, but later I heard that they secretly felt very moved and definitely want to go again! When we looked at the stars through the telescope, they were excited to see Saturn's rings, which sparked their interest in astronomy.
My husband, who usually doesn't praise people much, was surprisingly full of compliments for Yamapi during this trip. The homemade bento we had on the bus from Yamapi was also very warm and delicious!
Personally, I really liked the atmosphere of the shop we stopped by along the way; it had a great energy.
Haleakalā... It became a tour that I definitely want to experience again as it is such a sacred place.
今回初めての参加でしたが、
本当に大満足でした!!
申し込みから参加までのスムーズさももちろんですが、
ハレアカラからのサンセットは言葉で言い尽くせないほどの感動。。。
地球は丸いんだ。。地球はこんなにも美しいんだ。。。
と再確認しました。
今回は7歳の子どもとパパと3人での参加でしたが、
子どもはお疲れ気味だったのかちょっと機嫌が悪かったのですが
後で聞くと、また絶対行きたい!!!
と、密かにとても感動していたようでした。
天体望遠鏡で星を見たとき、土星の輪っか迄見えて天体に興味を盛ったようです。
普段は人をそんなに褒めることが無いパパですが、
今回の旅行ではヤマピーさんのことも大絶賛で以外でした。
バスの中で食べたヤマピーさんお手製のお弁当もとても
暖かく、美味しかったです♪
私的には途中で立ち寄ったクラのお店がとても雰囲気があって
とても好きなエネルギーの場所でした。
ハレアカラ。。。
とても神聖な場所で是非もう一度行きたいツアーになりました。

Then it was very exciting as this escort breached several more times, did flukes slaps and sky hopping to the oohs and aahs of everyone on board.

Thank you for participating, KOUKOU!
There aren't many places where you can drive up to 3,000 meters, enjoy the sunset with your child, and make it a day trip. The real sparkle of the stars I saw as a child surely remains somewhere in my heart.
Also, the men will end up visiting a telescope shop after returning home, right? (laughs)
Let's meet again under the starry sky in Maui!
KOUKOUさんご参加有難うございました!
3000メートルまで車で行けて夕日を親子で楽しめて日帰り出来る所はあまり無いですよね、、。子供の頃に見た本物の星の輝きはきっと心のどこかに残ります。
それと男性軍は帰国後望遠鏡ショップに足を運ぶ事になるのですね。笑
またマウイで満天の星の下で再会しましょうね!
