What To Expect

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!

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
Michael_B, Aug 2023
The Atlantis submarine was a nice way to go under water and see fish, stingrays and coral and a sunken ship without snorkeling or scuba diving. We had our 89 year old mother with us and she did great. I saw families with kids. Recommend.

Ynette_J, Jul 2023
Sharks, rays, fish fish and more fish. What an incredible experience. Myself, husband and kids were just amazed at all we were able to witness and see. I've always appreciated nature but this made me truly understand how connected we are and how much we must do to protect our oceans.

Very fun for the family. We were apprehensive about being in a small vessels but it was roomy, great visibility from all seats and well ventilated. Saw lots of fish and coral

Just ok
Curtis_N, Jul 2023
If u have never been down in a sub, this is a great trip to say u have. They take u down 130ft and make several passes over a ship they sank to make an artificial reef to attract fish. Seeing the fish was cool, but after snorkeling the next day, I saw just as many fish doing that. We did see a few rays tho so that was a plus. I would’ve rated the trip higher but they really just stayed in the same spot going around in circles.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Aloha Curtis, and thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. We are sorry to hear that your recent adventure was less exciting than you had hoped. Over the past 100 years, the natural reef has been disappearing. In collaboration with the University of Hawaii Sea Grant Program, Atlantis has created many expansive artificial reef environments that have helped reef and marine life flourish. We hope that with a little time and care, our natural reefs will continue to grow. Mahalo for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
Amazing!!!

Bonnie_I, Jul 2023
I loved the sensation of descending. We didn’t see a lot of fish but we really enjoyed what we saw and the commentary was great. The sunken ship was really interesting. I would definitely do it again

Submerged
Richard_F, Jul 2023
A very nice fun experience though I expected to see more fish, I guess it depends on the time of day. Saw a couple of baby sharks, a blow fish and one spotted ray fish.
