This was one of our favorite things we did in Maui. The guide provided great information about Lahaina, the reefs and the submarines. Supporting this business and Lahaina was our pleasure. Thank you so much for the amazing time.

Beautiful sights
The underwater sights were remarkable. The submarine pilot was competent and the equipment was to high standards. Seating was comfortable and everyone had a great view -- and there was so much to see! The narrator was knowledgeable and personable. The problem was that she couldn't always be heard over the noise of the engine of the boat while we were being transported from the shore to the submarine. Our main problem was that the walk from the meeting place to the transfer boat was long and hard for my husband, who walks with a cane. I wish we had been told we could have be dropped off right at the harbor and avoid the walk in the hot sun. This is a temporary problem due to the fire, so ask about this if it might be an issue for you.
Response from the operator: Aloha Kathy! Mahalo for your review! We’re happy you enjoyed your time exploring Hawaii's marine life and adventuring with Atlantis Adventures Maui! We are sorry to hear about your additional issues along with the tour. I will be sure to share your experience with our staff so they can make this well aware for our future guests. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise.

First experience in a submarine!
This was a very unique experience. Probably a once in a lifetime kind of thing. It was very cool being under water in a “submarine”. We spent about an hour under water looking out port holes for fish and corral. The main guide , Calvin, was very humerus and informative throughout the whole trip. The rest of the crew were also very nice and helpful. Everyone did a fantastic job, but it just felt a little touristy for me. Seemed like we covered a relatively small area near man made reef out of a sunken ship. It was great for what it was, but I left a little underwelmed.
Response from the operator: Aloha! Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring with us. We'll be sure to share with our crew that you thought they were informative, professional , and funny. We appreciate feedback like yours to learn and see guests perspective.

Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.
How much does Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $144 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maui is not rushed.
Is Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 835 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure?
+
Around 292 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Maui?
+
Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, Road to Hana Adventure Maui Tour with Lunch, West Maui Snorkeling Experience by Boat from Ka'anapali. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Maui?
+
April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Maui?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure?
+
Included: Japanese audio narration is available; Submarine dive aboard the 46-passenger submarine; Local taxes; and Complete professional narration. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure?
+
Please check in 30 minutes before your dive time for the tour briefing and to allow time to walk to our pier with a Guest Services agent. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure offered in?
+
It is offered in Korean, Chinese, Japanese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are not permitted on the submarine. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Maui Atlantis Submarine Adventure if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
