Lahaina Semi-Submersible Glass Bottom Boat Adventure - Maui Reefdancer
Overall Rating
4.26Fun Trip!
Reviewed by: SDMama23, 2023/08/02We 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!!

Great experience
Reviewed by: Wisconsin visitors, 2023/03/12This 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.

A fun time!
Reviewed by: Renee, 2023/02/22This 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.

So much fun!!
Reviewed by: Rachel Sande , 2022/10/13This 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.

You pay for what you get
Reviewed by: Brittney Aquino , 2021/12/11The crew were all very nice and knowledgeable but there wasn’t much wildlife to see. Mostly just coral. Wish I could’ve seen some turtles.

Neat!
Reviewed by: Angela, 2021/08/30The overall experience was unique. It was neat to see the ocean floor go by as we moved to the stopping spot. Our guide was pointing out all the fish & telling us the names of them. It was a rocky ride, so be sure to get some motion sickness bands for the journey. There are divers that bring different types of marine life to the window for a closer look which was neat for some things you wouldn't have the chance to see up close.

Fun but not great
Reviewed by: NuggLvr, 2020/01/05The narrator was fantastic and did his best to point out cool things to see. The divers worked hard at finding interesting things to show us up close but it felt like we could’ve gone to a better location where there was opportunity to see more fish. Between Reefdancer and Atlantis, the latter was a much better experience.

Great crew!
Reviewed by: Lapw4., 2019/11/13It was a small group. And being so the crew was very personable and excellent and with the kids. It was nice having one on one time with various crew members.
As for the sights it was very poor visibility. The water due to abnormally large swells that had debris churned up. You couldn't see ten feet.
We did see lots of turtles and a few small fish. The divers did there best in showing us what they could. And they compensated us nicely in the end.
I would do it again.

Wonderful experience in every way
Reviewed by: Wendy, 2019/08/24The tour guide and the boat were wonderful! The addition of divers who brought various sea life up to the windows was an unexpected touch. I'd definitely do this again.

Great crew, poor location
Reviewed by: Jes jes, 2019/05/01The crew on the boat was great, funny, helpful and knowledgeable.
The reef area the boat drove to and parked in was prettt boring. We saw maybe 4 types of fish and didnt travel anywhere else.
The diver brought a lot of neat things by the boat.

Awesome
Reviewed by: Rachelle, 2018/09/06The staff was friendly and informative. Our guide pointed out and named the marine life as we went along. They had a diver show us sealife..Well worth the money and trip. Would definitely recommend this activity
Good for couples, singles and families
Make.it a point to try this.

A great experience for families
Reviewed by: Tim from Portland, 2018/07/14We took the 1-hour trip which was really not quite long enough to see all there is to see. The crew includes divers who go over the side and bring things up from the reef and exhibit them. Not for the claustrophobic as you do sit below the waterline, but ventilation is very good. Also note the boat has no restrooms so drinking a ton of water, or anything else for that matter, is not a great idea. The water is very clear and there is a good deal to see. Be sure to bring some cash to tip the crew if you can (we did not know it was an option). Next time we will take the 1.5 hour trip.

Not worth repeating.
Reviewed by: Mary, 2018/04/27It is not air conditioned. Just has fans. The boat rocks a lot so even if you don't get motion sickness you will probably still get sick. It is more enjoyable for young children. Staff was really nice though. We were able to see octopus and a lot of fish.

Family Excursion
Reviewed by: LSM, 2015/09/06This is a good tour for families with very young kids or elderly parents. Sad that we didn't get to see a variety of sea life. In addition, I was expecting a glass bottom..it's not.

Semi Submarine
Reviewed by: Mehdi, 2014/08/29My 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.

Somewhat disappointed
Reviewed by: birthday trip, 2014/07/12Had 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.
