This was a very fun experience that I would highly recommend to all ages. Especially fun for families. We felt very safe, the ferry ride to the sub was fun with the staff giving us a briefing and sightseeing tour along the way. The water was very clear so our view was perfect. It also comes with Dad Jokes which makes it more fun.

Had such an amazing time, the gentlemen on the boat that takes you to the submarine were entertaining and informative, allowing you to become more comfortable. The tour guide that explained every area that we were exploring underwater was informative, and funny. Definitely would recommend!

This was seriously cool. Saw so many fish, 3 shipwrecks, stingrays, and beautiful reefs. Being on the ocean floor is wild. Would recommend to anyone. My 7 and 9 year old loved it.

My experience with my husband was wonderful. I would give it a 100% rating. There were no problems at all.
Cara_C, May 2026
I went with my adult son and we had a great time. We enjoyed seeing the ship wrecks and all the different fish. The captain and staff were so nice and entertaining.
Donna_P, May 2026
Very close quarters but we'll worth it. If you're tall it will be uncomfortable but still worth it. You still must try it.
Jessica_H, May 2026
Such a fun experience! Approximately 15 minute ferry ride to the site. The submarine is air conditioned and the tour lasts about an hour once on the sub. Our family thoroughly enjoyed it!
Dennis_F, May 2026
A must do, very well run and informative and everyone can easily see out the large round windows. It was awesome!!!!
Gary_e, May 2026
Not much to see waste of money everything was cloudy narrator talked constantly and sang it wasn't worth it
Sarah_A, May 2026
It was really fun. We took a boat to the submarine (15 mins about each way). We thought it was fun to change things up instead of snorkeling, but we felt snorkeling would've been more fun in the end. We didn't really see too much underwater besides some cool fish. It was fun to do once, but for the price, I think snorkeling we'll just do next time.
Steven_S, Apr 2026
Very touristy thing but different and fun especially for kids. We had mostly adults in our sub and everyone had fun.
Gia_N, Apr 2026
We enjoyed ourselves very much. Seeing all the sponges, corals, fish and shipwrecks was pretty cool. Visibility was pretty good. Only slight cloudiness but everything was still very visible. Crew and captains were a blast, they provided a great vibe. We didn’t see any sharks or stingrays sadly, but we still really enjoyed what we did see :) Seats are not big, I do not recommend this activity for anyone overweight.
Kimberly_F, Apr 2026
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The submarine was smaller than I expected. But it was an amazing adventure. Didn't really see much kinda disappointed. 😢 the water was foggy. Seen a couple of fish and alot of coral. My pictures didn't come out great.
Sherry_S, Apr 2026
Was a really nice tour. Boat ride to the Atlantis and then a nice ride under the ocean. Saw several manmade shipwrecks and lots of fish.
Linda_E, Apr 2026
Very cool experience. We loved going down and seeing all the unique fish and the reef and shipwrecks.
Robyn_M, Apr 2026
I was freaked out but once I got on board and we started going it was the best day ever, saw so many things you dont/wont see just snorkeling it really was an amazing time and the crew was absolutely amazing
bkhobson, Apr 2026
Amazing. We went down 145 ft. No issues with pressure. We say sting ray, shark, barracuda and so many tropical fish.
Jennifer_N, Apr 2026
Wonderful tour. Once in a lifetime experience to be at the bottom of the ocean. Highly recommend in Aruba.
rebekah_m, Apr 2026
My personal experience was not a good one due to my claustrophobia but that’s a personal problem. My other family members more than enjoyed this experience.
Karin_C, Apr 2026
Seeing all of the sea life through the porthole was amazing! The crew was wonderful! It is quite crowded, however, and can get uncomfortable if you have to half-share a seat with your neighbor!
Vadim_C, Mar 2026
We experienced it today, and had so much fun. Our kids 7, 9 and 13 enjoyed the underwater tour experience as well.
There is a bonus, a great fun team of professionals taking care of you. I feel that we would do it again and again)
Deric_G, Mar 2026
