Climb aboard an Atlantis submarine! Your adventure begins with a seven-minute boat ride from the Kailua-Kona pier along the scenic coast. At the underwater site, you'll transfer to the submarine to begin your undersea adventure. Atlantis submarines are the world's most technologically-advanced passenger submarines with spacious air-conditioned interiors, large view ports and comfortable seating so you can relax and enjoy Hawaii's sea life. In crystal-clear waters, the submarine will descend 100 feet underwater to explore 25 acres of coral reef gardens. The reef was formed on lava that flowed into the ocean 18,000 years ago. Inhabited by hundreds of species of tropical fish, coral and other sea life, it has been proclaimed one of the most popular sites to view Hawaii's marine life. Note: Participants must be at least 3 feet in height and must be able to safely climb, without assistance, a vertical 7-step ladder into and out of the submarine. less

This tour takes you to the top of the world's largest dormant volcano, Haleakala (which means ‘House of the Sun’). Rising over 10,000 feet from sea level, Haleakala is renowned for its raw beauty and unique scenery. At the summit, some 10,000 feet above sea level, is a vast crater, the size of Manhattan. You'll marvel at the crater's eerie lunar-like landscape of cinder cones and ancient lava formations. The view is absolutely amazing and the sunset is beautiful. On clear days, you'll enjoy views of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea in the distance. Note: We recommend you wear comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as temperature ranges from 40-65 degrees Fahrenheit. We do not guarantee weather will permit viewing sunset. less

You'll have a fun and memorable day and a variety of watersport activities to choose from, including a giant water trampoline with a slide, kayaking, canoeing, snorkeling, body boarding and hobie cat rentals. Enjoy breathtaking views of Molokini, Lanai and Kahoolawe islands or of the magnificent coral sea gardens, just minutes from your beach chair. Snorkel with the Hawaiian green sea turtles or honu, eagle rays, and an abundance of marine life! Note: Wear a swimsuit and bring a towel. Double kayaks, snorkel gear, surf boards, a water trampoline and body boards are available for rent at an additional cost. Water toys may be altered due to weather and water conditions. less
