Atlantis Submarine Tour Maui
What your day looks like
The biggest attraction on Maui is more than 100 ft. below the sea. Atlantis Submarines is your ticket to see this spectacular marine world. Marvel at Maui's unique underwater paradise aboard the world’s first and most technologically advanced 48-passenger submarine. Guests will see unique and fascinating natural coral reefs, fish and other marine life in air-conditioned comfort and safety. A highlight of this submarine adventure is also the chance to see a sunken ship called the Carthaginian, which serves as an artificial reef to help enhance Maui’s marine environment. In 2005, Atlantis embarked on a government approved project to carefully sink the Carthaginian, which is a replica of a 19th century whaling ship. This historical vessel was once a floating whale museum in Lahaina Harbor. The Carthaginian was going to be scuttled at sea because it needed major repairs. Now this ship is anchored to the sandy bottom of the ocean floor in an area that is devoid of coral reef. The resulting artificial reef has developed into a self-sustaining habitat for indigenous fish, coral and other marine life. Join us aboard the Atlantis Submarine in Maui to see the new resting home of the Carthaginian. From December through May, Atlantis guests may also enjoy whale watching during the ship-to-shore journey. All tours provide narration in Japanese, Mandarin, Korean and Spanish via headsets upon request at no additional cost.
