I wouldnt even give this one star if I could! Absolute rubbish! Not worth the money. Saw only 3 types of fish (the type you see when you just look over the harbour into the sea). There was no 'abundance of wildlife' as they promised. Not ONE species did we see mentioned on their posters!!! Said they will take us... More

This was an awful trip huge waste of money, the submarine barley left the marina & as for an abundance of marine life we only saw 3 types of fish & a poor excuse for a crab & not 1 ray or fish on their own spot list! RIDICULOUS The water clarity was atrocious so we could not even make... More

We decided to give this a try even though my wife is claustrophobic, we had nothing to worry about; the submarine is very spacious and well ventilated. We were impressed with the 'control' panel in front of each window, complete with a monitor showing external views of the dive, depth gauge and other reading from around the sub. The trip... More

I fancied this last year but never got round to it, I'm glad I did this year. Yes it do's go underwater it's not a surface boat with windows in it's hull. As for the trip it lasts for about 45 mins, I saw most of the fish on the charts they had at the window the crew were informotive... More

We went for the submarine safari with my boyfriend a few days ago. The good thing for me, as a person who gets sea sick extremely easily, was that the submarine almost does not sail on the water. After about 2 minutes of a very delicate shaking we were submerged and I did not experience any sickness. (I took one... More

Booked a submarine safari through First Choice in our hotel. It was not cheap, but my 5 year old is obsessed with submarines... Pick up on time, easy transfer to the submarine. The place and the submarine were clean and tidy. Have a sweater with you however, it felt fresh in December. Two people per window, no crowding. You see... More

My son (18yrs old) and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. First of all you are on a submarine in the Atlantic - what's to complain about!? Seeing different species of fish in their natural habitat was a great, once in a lifetime experience. Would recommend trip.

My husband, children (age 10 and 12) and I went on this activity together, and we all had a fantastic trip! We saw three different species of ray as well as about 8-10 fish species, all at very close distance. The guide helped you identify the fish and they have a diver who comes down next to the sub, encouraging... More

This attraction is in the south of the island so we had a fairly long coach journey to the marina where the sub is moored as we were staying in Puerto. That said, a very smart liveried coach picked us up from our hotel and the guide was a delightful and very informative lady who had lived on the island... More
