Maui-Lahaina Submarine

The highlight of our second day on Maui was a submarine tour of the waters off of Lahaina. We were bussed to the Lahaina pier, where we boarded a boat that took us out to the submarine, then we transfered to the sub, which immediately went to the bottom and navigated around an interesting area for an hour or so. Afterward, we explored the town and had lunch in a local cafe.
