A 75-minute Maui submarine tour with some good entertainment is the perfect length of time for smaller kids. May not be suitable for people who are afraid of heightsĪlthough one of our cons is that the semi-sub boat tour is on the shorter side, let’s face it, the attention span of younger children is also VERY short.Family-friendly and easy 9-step stairway with rail.

Scuba diver brings sea creatures to the windows for close-up viewing.A truly unique view of the underwater world.Here are some of the pros and cons of the Reef Dancer Pros In the rear of the little yellow submarine is a television that records the entire experience from the outside which means you can purchase the video of your underwater excursion if you’d like. There aren’t many seats below, so you may have to stand. Inside, windows surround the interior which are rather large, providing ample viewing. The conning tower has a stairway that leads into the bowels of the submarine they are not very steep. Maui’s Reef Dancer looks like a submarine and is painted yellow which is why some have dubbed it the “little yellow submarine”. This is a semi-submersible boat or semi-sub, which means it sits partially submerged in the water, giving you a unique view of the colorful coral reefs and marine life and it doesn’t dive under the water. Seniors who have difficulty descending steep stairs may also want to consider Reef Dancer as the stairs are wider and much easier to walk down. Making our semi-submersible tour the fun, safe, and ideal option. It is something you should consider especially if your children don’t meet the height requirement for Atlantis Submarine Maui. Reef Dancer is probably the best Maui ocean activity for families with younger children. The entire Hawaiian underwater journey is narrated so everyone knows exactly what they are looking at. He then returns it right to where he found it (unharmed of course). The third diver does what has become known as the “creature feature” part of our glass-bottom boat tour adventure as he finds live specimens - usually an octopus or some form of shell creature - from the bottom and brings it up to the viewing windows for all to see close-up. It is streamed onto a viewing screen inside the glass cabin so you can see what he is filming. The second diver has a cool underwater video recorder and films all the secrets hidden beneath the rocks that aren’t visible from above. The diver draws in so many fish that you won’t be able to see them! Many people, young and old alike, are fascinated to see how a diver can go from being alone to being surrounded by a multitude of fish within a minute. It’s amazing how the fish can smell or sense the food.

One of the divers will feed the marine life. Once the Reef Dancer arrives at the viewing area, three Maui scuba divers descend from the submarine. This bright happy yellow semi-submarine cruises out of Lahaina Harbor to Mala Wharf. The Reef Dancer Maui is a glass-bottomed boat that gives you an intimate glimpse of the underwater world just off the leeward coast of Maui. (Not currently available.)
