Full description

Enjoy an adventure on a semi-submersible boat, immersed in nearly 1.5 meters of water. This modern version of a glass-bottom boat can accommodate up to 12 passengers and 1 crew member. Enjoy views of the sea bottom while looking through large glass windows, safe and dry in your comfortable seat. See marine life, such as the loggerhead sea turtle, bottom feeders, and a variety of fish. Take in panoramic views of the old harbor with its original Venetian structures and its lighthouse. Within the 35 minutes of the tour, you spend about 25 minutes going all around the old port, and 10 minutes more outside of it (until the rocky wave thruster). Join this incredible journey on a semi-submarine vehicle for a closer look at the magical underwater world. Gain a better understanding of the significance of the sea environment.

Pretty good trip for the kids. The captain started out feeding the fish in front of the boat, allowing for plenty of life in front of the windows. For the remainder of the trip, sea life was so-so, but again the captain did what he could to close in on a sea turtle in the habour area. No success though, but a fair attempt from the crew’s side. Great view of the habour from the sea side. An OK value for money trip, without any wow-effect.
