Day 12 Tuesday - Maui

Since our submarine ride did not start until 10AM, we had a late breakfast and sleep in a bit as well. We got to Lahaina Harbor to get on the ferry to the sub. We were one of the last ones on but we got in there on time for check in. The tour guide was not that funny but he was trying real hard to be cheesy with his jokes. We got in on an actual submarine. We dove all the way down to about 120 feet near the bottom with the coral.

It was an awesome experience to see all of the fishes swimming in schools. There was also a sunken ship that cost them $250,000 to intentionally sink with no ecological impact. The ride was about 45 minutes and it proved to be a bit entertaining. We got out to the ferry boat with a new crew of people to go into the sub. After that, we went to the Maui Ocean Center which has the largest coral reef in a museum. We stayed for about 90 minutes going through the exhibits.

Lunch at Ichiban and the service was ok. They charged us for a side of salted cabbage. The prices were decent and the portion was big. I got the teriyaki chicken, chicken katsu, and teriyaki beef. We visited the Maui Tropical Plantation and took some pictures around the place. We hopped on the tram for a 45 minute tour that included a show on how to open coconuts. Our tour guide was funny and she seemed a bit ditzy as well. We had dinner at the condo that night followed by the American Idol premiere watching party that we had.
