When was the last time you were on a Maui submarine tour or Maui glass-bottom boat tour?

If you're one of the few who have been on a submarine, I'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? A Maui submarine tour is!

During my first Maui submarine tour, I remember thinking how incredible it was to be down that deep for that long. I was actually spending a part of my day on the ocean floor examining the sanctity of the underwater world, a world which had previously been beyond my grasp. I remember wishing that every child could have this experience, that somehow it would help them understand that there is more going on in the world than what's happening on their street, in their neighborhood. Was I impressed with my first submarine tour? You bet, and I know you will be as well!

The climate-controlled cabin and giant viewing ports make your submarine tour 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 submarine tour 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 we used 20 years ago off Lahaina's coast.

Helpful Tips from Tom Barefoot - Maui Submarine Tours:

There is no age limit on submarine tours, but there is a height limit - you must be at least 3 feet tall. Photography through the submarine's portholes is rewarding if you place the camera lens as close to the glass as possible, don't use a flash, and use 400 ASA film. Allow at least two hours for the submarine tour. The dive itself takes an hour, but the time spent checking in and riding on the shuttle boat to the sub adds another hour. During a submarine tour - colors change at 150 feet depth. Don't be surprised when the filtered sunlight turns your brown eyes blue and your white t-shirt yellow!

Here are a couple choice for submarine and glassbottom boat:

Atlantis Submarine - you’ll have the opportunity to learn firsthand of the underwater ecosystem and the variety of sea life thriving off the shore of Maui, Hawaii or Oahu. Each tour is led by knowledgeable and professional guides who provide interesting information about the marine environment. Submarines in the Atlantis fleet have been featured in National Geographic, Newsweek and the Travel Channel.

Reef Dancer - A great way to view the shallow reef where the water has lots of light is on the glass-bottom boat, Reef Dancer. This shallow area actually has more marine life than any other part of the ocean so youll have a great time viewing the coral formations, reef fish, eels, turtles or whatever else may show up on your glass-bottom tour. The Reef Dancer is a great activity for children.

The submarine trips in Hawaii have proven to be among the most popular of all the activities we have. Although this is a favorite among children please just remember that they have to be at least 3 ft tall. Everyone has a window seat and it’s truly exciting to descend to depths in excess of hundred feet. You’ll be down for over 40 minutes and that’s longer even than most divers would be able to stay at that depth. One thing to also remember is that the submarines are fully pressurized and have rushes of air-conditioned air pushing past you at all times so you’ll be at the height of comfort.
