The difference is you can get up at any time and go take a breather on the upper deck of Reef Dancer. It’s a boat whose lower deck is below water with portholes, just like the submarine, for excellent underwater viewing. If claustrophobia or mobility issues prevent you from taking the submarine, get a similar experience from the Reef Dancer semi sub!

Still, we’d understand if you’re very claustrophobic and this just isn’t for you. You’ll have plenty of head room, but there is no getting up once you’ve sat down. If you’re worried about claustrophobia, you survived the flight to Hawaii, and the ride in the submarine isn’t much different but is significantly shorter. It is SO COOL to see the sunken ship come out of the hazy deep and show up right in front of you!

The company even moved government paperwork mountains for permission to buy an old whaling ship and purposely sink it off the coast to become an artificial reef.

Maui has very little light pollution, and Haleakala’s summit is so high, that atmospheric interference is minimal. The observatory with its magnificent telescope isn’t open to the public because it’s got a line of researchers around the world waiting to use it.īut visitors to Maui can enter the park any time and enjoy the same night sky!

It’s considered the best place on the planet to observe the stars! Haleakala’s summit is world-famous for its incredibly clear stargazing. I suspect we’ll see a lot of change as everyone figures out how to comply with the new ordinance. The bike tour companies now have to stop you at the city limits and shuttle you through town. **New in February 2023: The Maui County Council passed a local ordinance that went into effect on Februlimiting the area, ages, and times allowed for bike tours down Haleakala.
