The Sugar Cane Train , the first train used in West Maui for sugar cane production, began operating around 1890 and continued until around 1950. The train hauled tons of raw sugar cane to the mill to be processed for the 60 years it operated. The sugar cane train was retired when motorized trucks and mechanical claws proved more efficient and cost effective.

It wasn't until 1969 that the sugar train had new life breathed into it by A.W. "Mac" McKelvy who got together with the Makai Corporation and created the Lahaina, Ka'anapali & Pacific Railroad. Better known as "The Sugar Cane Train", the line has operated passenger service from Lahaina to Pu'ukoli'i(just north of Ka'anapali) daily for over 30 years.

Since 1970, over five million tourists to Maui have ridden the train making it one of West Maui's most popular attractions. With a blast of its steam whistle, the locomotive chugs along a six-mile long stretch of track at a leisurely pace, as its passengers are entertained Hawaiian-style by our narrators.

Every dive is unique and you never know what you will see ... beautiful, vibrant reef fish, eels, lobster... maybe even a turtle or a reef shark! During the Hawaii Whale Season (December-May), you may be lucky enough to get a spectacular and rare underwater view of a Humpback Whale! 

Your journey begins with a 10-15 minute scenic boat ride out to the dive site, followed by the submarine dive, which is approximately 45 minutes in length. Your expert narrator will inform you of everything from the formation of the Hawaiian Islands to many species of marine life unique to the Hawaiian waters. View fascinating natural and artificial reefs in air-conditioned comfort!

The Atlantis Submarine is a 65-foot, 48-passenger, air-conditioned submarine with 26 large 2-foot diameter side viewports and an extra large 53" front viewport and will take you to depths of up to 100 feet!
