Information on Maui Submarines & Glass-Bottom Boats
When was the last time you were on a submarine? Never? If you're one of the few who have been on a submarine, we'll bet it didn't have windows! Here's your chance to board a $4.5 million submarine, dive to a depth of 150 feet, and cruise around the ocean floor for an hour - and see everything out there from the best vantage point possible. Sound exciting? It is!
The climate-controlled cabin and giant viewing ports make your voyage below the surface both comfortable and interesting. You'll see hundreds and hundreds of fish and coral heads of all sizes and colors. Sometimes you'll see eels, rays and occasionally a shark. As you inch along the sea floor, more and more is revealed, color upon color, shape upon shape. During the winter months whales have swum into view. Each trip is different, but each dive is exciting, informative and educational.
Semi-submersibles, or glass bottom boats, are also available. The underwater experience is similar to that on a submarine except you remain on the ocean surface. The cost is less but the visual impact can be impressive as well. They're a far cry from the old glass bottom boats people used to use 20 years ago off Lahaina's coast.
