Had an amazing trip, staff was very friendly and helpful. It's a shame the views are much better on one side of each hull. We got lucky and got the better side and was great. My 22 month old loved it.

Having been on this trip many times over the years I found the staff extremely rude! Very disrespectful. Also unable to hear the commentary.
Great !
It's an immersive expérience to share with your froend, partner or family.
You have another point of view under the sea.
Make sure you seat kids on the side.with the large windows. I think the guys running it could also be a bit friendlier.
For the price, this trip under and on the sea is the perfect activity with your kids, it's short and sweet before exploring the wonderful city of Agios Nikolaos. The crew could be a bit less serious, it's a chill job after all...
My daughter loved this excursion. Tip make sure you sit on the out side of the row or you won't see fish. The row facing the other section couldn't see any fish.
Definitely recommend this. We had an 8 hour layover in Crete and this was the highlight. If we visit again we'll be back.
Up front & center with marine life! It was a bit confusing at first in boarding the boat. First sat on main deck. Folks on top deck were ushered to submersible section. Eventually got there as well. Unfortunately, sat on side facing the middle; better to sit on the outer part to not have obstruction of 2nd side of submersed section. Otherwise, interesting adventure for the price.
Smooth and everything on time! Friendly staff. Nice experience to share with my daughter of 3 years old. Would recommend!

It was interesting trip, regardless of the seating I had. More annoying were irresponsible parents who took their young restless children into confined environment for hour's journey. Otherwise, it was well worth the money, one of a kind experience.
I deducted a star only because I felt the experience could have been better if the guys had sailed us out to the site first before letting people downstairs to the underwater viewing area. By the time we got there and went around the site, it was too long for most children and they all were crying. It made for a rather unpleasant trip for everyone else. Thank goodness the second part of the journey as it was back on top deck and everyone was happy.
Seeing the different kinds of fish go by up close from the viewing windows, with the commentary, and then the tour of the coast.
The submersible portion of the tour. An abundance of fish and a glimpse under the waves. Kids were very impressed.
Not worth the time and the money. The boat stop for too short in different places and although they feed the time is too short to get to see fishes that you don't see snorkeling. Then they oblige people to spend the remaining part of the tour on the deck. The idea is good but the implementation poor.
Terrible! Way too crowded. People had to sit on each others laps. It became very hot and breathtaking. Skip this!
We booked the semi-submarine as a family of 3. On entering the boat we were told to stay together so we were seated together however I was separated from my partner and 4 year old son. They were seated on the outside of the boat,myself on the inside. They then proceeded to cram more people in but wouldn't allow me to move to sit by my family. The inside of the boat is pointless,you hardly see anything. My son loved it and the view from the outside was much better.
We really enjoyed this. True, the underwater part of the ship is a little cramped, but we did get to see an awful lot of different fish. The recordings which gave some explanations about the fish and the underwater terrain (in a few languages) were decent. As some reviews mentioned, getting a seat facing the outside of the boat is better (we weren't given a choice, but were lucky enough to be seated on the outside), but even the people seated inside saw quite a lot of fish. The second part of the trip that is on the regular part of the boat was pretty run-of-the-mill, but then that's not the main appeal of the trip.
Family of 4, 2 adults anf 2 girls 14 and 8. We all thought the trip was great. We saw lots of fish, natural sponges and what the sea bed looks like around the island. It was good to also have some time on top deck with more information on the surrounding area and local hotels.
We arrived there and it was canceled due to weather conditions.
We want an alternative date or a refund.
We loved every minute. Staff were all lovely and very friendly. The kids said it was the highlight of the holiday. Highly recommend.
Good idea amount of time is good
But didn’t go further would be nice if made an effort to view octopus ray fish etc
Nice trip with reasonably good visibility underwater. Seen many fish. These are refueled several times, so they stay near the boat.
Friendly guidance and extra service by offering chewing gum against nausea during high waves.
At the end of the tour, a beautiful return trip with fantastic views over the island's coast.

Very good. I felt well taken care of. Was there with my wife and child. Fish are lured by feeding.

Nice experience but a bit taken aback when the park guide said women on one side, men on the other... In fact, there are 2 lines on the boat, so 2 where you can see the inside of the boat and 2 the outside... In other words, the women saw the inside, which was nothing, just 2 or 3 fish that got lost between the 2 parts of the boat, while the men were able to admire all the wildlife.

The people sitting inside have poor visibility. That's where the money is wasted. If you want to see something, it is only worth looking outwards. I used to get up so I could see outside.

Also just lucky which and how many fish you get to watch.It is also interesting to see the seabed.

Die Tour lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Die Fische werden angefüttert, sonst würde man wahrscheinlich nicht viel sehen. Die Hälfte der Zeit verbringt man dann oben auf dem Schiff, was sehr angenehm ist. Die Plätze werden einem unten zugeteilt und das leider sehr unfreundlich, sonst hätte ich die 5 Sterne vergeben. Das hat übrigens alle Gäste gestört!
Die Tour war an sich recht schön! Unangenehm ist allerdings, dass man sich während der Fahrt in dem unteren Bereich des Bootes befindet und somit schnell auf eine etwas zügigere Fahrt reagiert! Ich hatte teilweise richtige Hitzewallungen und Kreislaufprobleme. Ebenfalls sind die Kabinen sehr voll und durch die zwei getrennten Kabinen, sehen die innen sitzenden natürlich nichts!
Très bien mais faut être du bon côté sinon on voit pas grand chose mais bon sinon c'est quand même pas mal
Man hat eine super Sicht im Wasser, und das ohne irgendwelche Scheinwerfer. Auch die Zweiteilung der Tour (ein Teil unter Wasser, ein Teil über Wasser) war schön, so konnte man sich die Umgebung und die Bucht noch anschauen.
