Itinerary
The Atlantis Submarine is an unforgettable way to get far below the surface and experience marine life in Barbados with no certifications required.
When you arrive at the docks at Shallow Draught, you’ll see the submarine surface before boarding the vessel. Take your seat in the air-conditioned submarine and get ready for your underwater adventure to begin.
First you will submerge to about 55 feet (17 meters) and admire colorful coral reefs and marine animals, like fish and turtles, through the large windows. Throughout the 40-minute ride, the co-pilot will share knowledge about the submarine, the reef and the creatures that inhabit it.
The submarine continues its descent all the way to about 150 feet (45 meters) to see a shipwreck, normally only accessed by scuba divers. You will be able to see this sunken treasure up-close, and observe the marine life that now inhabits the vessel. After taking in the wreck, you will resurface and be transferred back to Shallow Draught. Receive an Atlantis Submarines Dive certificate to commemorate your adventure.
This is first tour in the Caribbean to be awarded a double Green Certification from Green Globe International.

The experience was Amazing. I definitely enjoyed myself and wished it did not it to end because it was so fun
From start to finish, everyone was welcoming and friendly. The crew on the boat out to the submarine great and then the crew on board the submarine were very funny. I won't say why they were
You have to be there. Thank you guys for a great time.
Glyne was our guide and the best in the business!! He was very knowledgeable about the island.
Loved it!
This experience was extremely fun, the host was funny, and the sitting space was not as close and bunched up as I thought. (Mentioning for those that suffer with claustrophobic etc.) This is a must try memorable activity especially because you receive a certificate.
What an incredible experience! We saw so many amazing fish and beautiful underwater sights. 🐠🐟 The submarine pilot and co-pilot were absolutely hilarious and made the entire tour so much fun with their jokes and great personalities. And the music was top notch—it really added to the experience! 🎶😂
A fun, entertaining, and unforgettable adventure from start to finish. Highly recommend the Atlantis Submarine Tour if you’re visiting Barbados! 🌊🇧🇧
This what quite an experience, if you are curious about life under the water or loving exploring under water life this is the tour for you. For me it was the joy it has bought to the face of my son that sealed the experience for me. With knowledgeable tour guides explaining everything you can never go wrong.
Pretty cool way to see what happens underwater if you’re not into diving or snorkeling. The guys doing the tour are friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining all at once
Absolutely brilliant tour. Well organised from start to finish. Lovely hosts on the submarine. Cannot recommend highly enough. Fantastic. You won't be disappointed.
Great tour. The tour guides were funny and helpful. The underwater experience was absolutely amazing. I loved it!
Wonderful experience. Fun, friendly crew. Amazing views. Kids and parents enjoyed. Saw lots of fish.
The Atlantis Submarine Day Tour is highly recommended! The staff were friendly, professional, and made the entire experience smooth from start to finish.
The submarine dive itself was truly unreal—being able to explore underwater marine life in such a unique way was an unforgettable experience.
We had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for something different and memorable!
Amazing experience.
I have not been in a submarine since the west emington mall in canada.Twenty years ago
“An excellent experience with incredible staff who make the entire experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone who would love to see incredible underwater wildlife up close. A truly memorable experience!”
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thank you for the excellent review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a memorable experience seeing our underwater wildlife up close.
Our team is dedicated to make every journey special, and knowing our staff made your time on board so enjoyable means the world to us. Your recommendation is the greatest compliment we could receive, and I will be sure to share your kind words with the crew.
Thank you for diving with us. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure.
If you have ever wanted to go in a submarine, this is is a great opportunity. We had a wonderful time.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time on board.
Checking a submarine dive off your bucket list is a dream for many, and we are delighted to have provided that experience for you. Thank you for recommending us to future adventurers, and we hope to welcome you back for another underwater journey soon.
For those like me that can’t swim but wants to find Nemo (lol) or just get a deep dive experience, this is great!
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thank you for your kind review. We are thrilled that we could help you "find Nemo" and provide a true deep-dive experience without you ever having to swim.
One of our favorite things about our submarine tours is making the magic of the ocean accessible to everyone, whether they are avid swimmers or land-dwellers. It is wonderful to know that you felt comfortable and had a great time exploring the underwater world with us.
Thank you for diving with us.
It's a hit or Miss. it's a lot of money wasted when you don't see much. Very over priced $420 for 2 w taxi. Not many people seemed excited
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that the excursion did not meet your expectations. It is impossible to predict what one might observe in the natural environment in which we operate. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again.
This is a great excursion for anyone who likes exploring under the sea! We saw lots of varieties of fish and saw a couple turtles. The staff were friendly and booking through Viator was easy and was so much cheaper than booking through the cruise line. I wish it would have lasted longer because the 45 minutes flew by.
We caught a taxi at the NCL port and took a short 10ish minutes and was $12 a person which seemed to be the standard at all 7 ports where we stopped.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you Teresa for your wonderful review. We're happy that you enjoyed the experience. It was a pleasure having you on board.
Continue to stay safe. Best wishes from Team Atlantis.
Great experience. Easy to find. You’re underwater in the submarine for about 45 to 15 minutes. The rest of the time you are taking the boat to the actual submarine. Total you need about two hours for the whole excursion. Really cool experience. Got to see lots of coral and fish. Not a huge variety of sea life as you would expect what otherwise a cool and unique experience. The staff are really friendly and accommodating.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thanks for your detailed review. The information shared is greatly appreciated. It was a pleasure having you on board and we're thrilled that you appreciated our hospitality and services. Wishing you a blessed and prosperous 2026.
Very interesting seeing all the sealife and coral. It was sometimes hard to hear the guides commentary due to noisy kids and poor sound system. But overall an enjoyable experience.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thanks for your feedback. The information regarding the sound system has been noted with thanks. We will be sure to have this rectified.
Thank you for your patronage and wishing you blessings for 2026
This tour is very well done and you will totally enjoy it! Be aware that a boat takes you out to deeper water and you then board the submarine. It does not leave from the harbor. For those that get motion sickness this may be a challenge when the sea is rough. Once you go below the surface everything is fine. You must also be able to climb down steps backwards.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad you had a wonderful time. Your 5 star review is greatly appreciated. A big Thank you from the Team.
Best wishes for 2026
A marvelous and unique experience in Barbados 🇧🇧. You get transported from the dock out to the dive site and board the sub near Paradise Beach. The dive lasts about 45 minutes and takes you by a wreck that's now an artificial reef, then you dive to 130 feet to see the natural reef and coral. Fascinating! One thing: book transport from the cruise dock to the sub embarkation point. It's a 20 minute walk but no sidewalks.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Your review is greatly appreciated. It's a great feeling when guests are satisfied with the experience. We're happy that you have shared your thoughts.
Thank you for your patronage.
Best wishes for 2026 from Team Atlantis.
A relaxed activity if thats what you're looking for. A bit disappointing though if you are hoping to see a large variety of marine life.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your feedback. Your review is appreciated.
Sorry for your disappointment. It being a natural environment, one cannot determine the availability of the fishes. We hope that you still enjoyed the tour despite this.
Wishing you a blessed 2026 on behalf of the Team
The coral reef and the shipwreck are fantastic. Crew were very informative. The ride is completely safe.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your kind review. We're glad that you felt safe with us and that you enjoyed the experience.
Seasons greetings from Team Atlantis.
A great experience diving down to the reef in a submarine. Felt very safe and it was fascinating to be so close to the bottom. Lots of fish, and Glen gave lots of information about what we were seeing.
Just to note that you need to allow 1.5-2 hours - it’s 45 minutes (ish) in the sub but it takes time to get out there and back.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Your review is greatly appreciated. It's wonderful to learn that you felt safe with us. Thank you.
Best wished for the holiday season
