Ildikó –

We were with two small kids (childcare and preschool age), and it was an excellent experience, nice views of fishes and a giant turtle. Only inside the harbor, but still great.

I like the concept but probably it should be more "live" guidance. for example describing fishes species we see or parts of artifacts we ar swimming above.

Experience

Highlights

  • Explore the underwater world without getting wet
  • Take in panoramic views of the Chania coast and the Venetian Harbor
  • See a variety of marine life including loggerhead sea turtles (usually visible in 7 out of 10 tours — though not guaranteed)

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.

Amazing experience, would 100% recommend. Me and my partner went at 11am and there was nobody else with us so we had the whole experience to ourselves. This may of been a one-off (being empty) but I would recommend booking for earlier in the day for it to be less busy. The experience itself was incredible, in the submarine bottom you are presented with a clear view of the Marine life beneath you. The tour was also accompanied with an insightful audio, providing information about local history and marine life. The boat also stops in locations where the best panoramic photos can been taken of the old town from the sea. We were lucky enough to see a turtle, which the guide spotted and manoeuvred the boat around so we could have a clear view and watch the turtle. The downstairs area was clean and had a fan to keep cool. It was such an amazing experience and worth every euro!! 🐢
