For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a trip to Maui, Hawaii should definitely include an undersea adventure in the state-of-the-art, 48-passenger Atlantis Submarine.

You will experience the incredible journey as part of the Atlantis Adventure submarine tour. This excursion will provide lifetime memories as you explore the amazing Pacific Ocean off the west coast of Maui, near Lahaina.

Atlantis Adventures, is the company that’s been long recognized as one of the primary tourist attractions on all of the Hawaiian islands. Their submarine fleet offers tours around the islands of Oahu, Maui and the Big Island.

You will journey into a spectacular blue world about 130 feet below the surface in spacious, air-conditioned comfort.

Each Atlantis submarine tour begins with a short ride aboard the shuttle boat “Kapena” to the sub dive site. During the ride, you will see spectacular views of the Lahaina coastline and the Hawaiian islands of Molokai and Lanai.

It’s an incredible sight as you witness the submarine surfacing in a dizzying array of bubbles from the previous tour. You first step from the ferry to the submarine and board the impressive sub, then climb down a metal ladder into the Atlantis.

The experienced crew goes through a thorough safety check, informing us there’s never been a problem in any Atlantis location – a perfect safety record!

The interior of the sub is very clean and spacious. The sub is also air-conditioned so passengers are very comfortable during the entire trip. There are thirteen large portholes on each side of the sub for easy viewing.

Each tour is led by knowledgeable and professional guides who provide interesting information about the marine environment. They also make the journey enjoyable by adding humor to make it a fun experience for all.

One of the highlights was viewing an old, 97-foot long German freight carrier called the Carthaginian. It was purchased and purposely sunk to create an artificial underwater reef. Over time, the shipwrecked Carthaginian has turned into a self-sustaining habitat for a wide variety of indigenous fish, sea turtles, coral, and other marine life.

We were offered close-up view of the ship and the coastline’s exotic tropical reefs.We saw many different varieties of fish, including black tip sharks and sting ray. During the winter months, keep a close lookout because you may even see whales.

Another memorable moment was when the sub was carefully rested on the ocean floor sand. To monitor the sub’s actual depth during our descent, there is a large overhead digital display.  The display reading was 128 feet down.

After the incredible undersea journey ends, it’s time to rise back to the surface, hop on the shuttle boat and head back to Lahaina Harbor.

Hats off to the professional crew of Atlantis and the awesome excursion experience.

There are many reasons for a once in a lifetime trip. Perhaps you want to travel with close friends and family and get married in a paradise that few have ever imagined. Maybe you are celebrating a special anniversary or landing your dream job.

Few people really ever experience true luxury. Even those who travel routinely rarely step over into absolute lavishness. With the exception is the rich and famous, and celebrity superstars, few venture to places where Utopia is expected. Beautiful and exotic places are available to you. As a result, there are places that cater to excellence. There are hidden villas in far away lands that await you. Nothing is too good for their guests. No extravagance is withheld.

Dare to dream

Would you like to have your destination wedding with 8 of your closest friends, in an exclusive villa in Southern Bali? It’s time to take a once in a lifetime trip Imagine the finest furnishings, the best food, world famous wine, and a hidden oasis with 5 bedrooms and 6 baths.

Maybe you would like to spend your anniversary in France. Stroll through museums and see the famous 270 piece collection of Picasso. Are you up for an adventure? How would you like to celebrate the voodoo rituals from West Africa on St. John’s Eve in the International House Hotel. This luxury boutique hotel is in iconic downtown New Orleans.

Take a culinary tour of Italy or relax in an exclusive New York Luxury suite and have the world of high fashion come to you with an in-room shopping experience. A once in a lifetime trip is a memorable VIP experience.

Have your wedding on a beautiful Hawaiian island. Toast the beginning of your life together with champagne at sunset in Maui. Walk hand-in-hand on the black sand beaches or dare to tour the heights of volcanoes. See the world as it was meant to be. Experience paradise.

Making it happen

So now that you see just a few of the experiences awaiting you in the world of luxury trips of a lifetime, you may be asking yourself if you can possibly afford to make this a reality. The answer is often, yes!

Weddings are very costly. The average wedding cost $28,000.00 and some costs double that. It is a matter of priorities. If tradition means everything to you, then book the chapel and order the cake. But if you are more adventurous than that and you would rather have a memory unlike anyone else’s. Sit down and start crunching the numbers.  

Set up a social media page, telling your friends and family of your choices. Set up a Plumfund.com account. This is a free account that allows your family, friends, and others to gift you through your registry in lieu of wedding gifts. Get your team on board.

Tell your closest friends that parties, showers, and wedding events are nice, but you would rather have the money toward your dream trip. A once in a lifetime trip can be expensive, so any help is appreciated. Then, instead of a wedding shower or hen party, have a barbecue. Instead of expensive shopping trips, nail salons, and beauty treatments have a women’s pampering party at a hotel and do each other’s nails.

Most importantly, tell your parents, (or whoever is paying for the wedding) how much this trip means to you and why. Get everyone onboard and get busy. As your funds grow and the donations grow, begin working with your travel agent on your itinerary.

Nothing is impossible if you want to make it happen. Some trips are just too good to pass up. So live a little and have one dream trip that is just for you. You will never regret it.
