Children will love this small submarine. Just my husband and my self were on this as was beginning of the day . The people were so pleasant , the driver gave us a full commentary as we went around the beautiful bay of Kotor. We did not see much as we went below as water a little murky . Good value for money and a very gentle trip.

Great experience. Go in the afternoon.

Laura_P, Aug 2025
The captain was fantastic. Very informative & fun with kids. Its a cool trip and such a novelty for the kids. Unfortunately we did not see much underwater but I think this was because we went later in evening. I would reccomend going during the afternoon.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Unfortunately, in the afternoon the underwater visibility is sometimes not as clear as in the morning, but we hope you still had a wonderful overall experience. Kind regards

Good replacement tour option

Unfortunately the engine on the semisubmersible wasn’t working so they had to cancel our tour. The tour operator was kind though and offered us the ability to reschedule, get a full refund, or take a speedboat around the bay with a visit to lady of our rocks for 1 hour. We chose option 3 and had a great tour. (Our guide gave us an inside tip that there is a hole behind the alter at past of our rocks where if you stick your hand it you can feel the original stone used to build the church.). Only downside is our kids did not get to ride in the semisubmersible which was something they were truly looking forward to. We saw the boat itself though and it does look like kids would enjoy riding on it once it’s fixed. Felt like the tour operator was reputable and was trying to do the best they could with the situation.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. We're glad you enjoyed the speedboat tour and appreciated the inside tip about Our Lady of the Rocks. We apologize for the inconvenience with the semi-submarine and hope to welcome you back for that experience. Your feedback means a lot to us!
