Lovely experience. It is a little on the dear side but when compared with other excursions, it's worth it. Unique and very well organised. We loved it and would recommend.
We booked the excursion including pick up and transfer from our resort. Unfortunately the bus picking us up had a few problems prior to our stop so we left 25 mins late. This resulted in a very rushed journey there and the beginning of the experience. We were asked to sit down quickly to listen to the safety video and our group was walked rapidly to the submarine for our dive. To get onto the submarine you have to start with a walk across a boarding ramp floating on the water. There are no handrails and we found in rather wobbly and difficult to balance on so if you are unsteady on your feet please be mindful of this. This may have been caused by our whole group having to walk on it together at quite a speed but it’s something to keep in mind. Getting down into the submarine was easier than we had anticipated. Although you do have to step down through a hatch onto an almost vertical ladder there are rails you can hold onto and steady yourself all the way. Getting down and back up again we found no issues with for the older or younger people in our group. We didn’t have ‘We all live in a yellow submarine” playing sadly. The dive was good. We saw many fish, shipwrecks and the optional commentary was informative enough without being too much. The staff in the main building and on the submarine could have been more welcoming and cracked a smile now and then. Overall we had a lovely time. Whether the issues we did encounter were caused by our late arrival we can’t say but it was an experience we are glad we did.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for joining us on our submarine. Firstly, we would like to apologise for the delay to your transfer. Unfortunately, there was unusually heavy traffic on the road that day, which caused the bus to arrive later than scheduled. While we understand this can be frustrating, we would like to reassure future guests that the delay did not result in any part of the excursion being shortened, nor were clients rushed onto the submarine itself. The full experience and dive duration remained exactly as planned. Regarding access to the submarine, you are correct that boarding is via a floating pontoon. As it is positioned on the water, some movement is normal, particularly when groups are walking across it. Our team is always on hand to assist guests who may require additional support. We are pleased to hear that you found entering and exiting the submarine easier than anticipated and that you enjoyed seeing the marine life, wrecks and underwater scenery during the dive. As for the famous song, our multilingual audio guide actually plays "Yellow Submarine" at the end of every excursion. It's possible that you removed your headphones by that point, which would explain why you missed it! We are sorry if some members of our team appeared less welcoming than expected. Providing a friendly and memorable experience is very important to us, your comments will be shared with the team. Thank you again for your review. We're delighted that, despite the transfer delay, you had a lovely time and enjoyed this unique underwater adventure.

This is a brilliant experience. We booked online and saved a couple of euro but regardless it was great value. On the submarine for about an hour. There is a headset with tour info in multiple languages. We saw loads of different fish and the ship wrecks are also great to see. The whole experience is something different and we wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

We were told included in the price is collect and drop off at your hotel. We were told we would be collected at 9.45 and to be ready. We were waiting at 9.30 just to be sure. Collected 10.10. Driver then set off on a mission, I think he may have been running late. Got to the submarine office and was there about 15 minutes , no time to do anything else, then escorted to submarine. The ride was comfortable and not cramped but all we saw were the same 3 types of fish and some wrecks of fishing boats. That was it. 30 mins. Back to the office for 12.00 as bus collecting us 12.25. No time to get a coffee or hot food from cafes. On bus then told by driver our drop off was not elba,our hotel, but flamingo bay. I argued and said no it is not. We have a 4 year old and we paid pick up and drop off hotel. A lady who I think was guide, said she will sort. We then endured whacky races for driver to get round. We were dropped off but left sour taste. For 65 euro it was not worth the effort or time. You decide.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that parts of your experience did not meet your expectations. Firstly, please accept our apologies for the delay with the transfer collection and for the confusion regarding the return drop-off point. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially when travelling with a young child. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide and your comments will be shared with our transport team to help us improve. Regarding the submarine experience itself, many guests enjoy the opportunity to see the marine life and underwater wrecks unique to the area, although we understand that every visitor’s expectations can differ. We do appreciate your comments, as feedback like yours helps us review and improve both the excursion timing and transfer organisation for future guests. We hope you still enjoyed the rest of your holiday and thank you again for visiting us.
We loved this - we saw a sting ray before we'd even left the harbour! Loads of fish, the shipwrecks are cool and just a great experience. Everyone gets their own seat and it's not at all claustrophobic (which I was worried about). In reality, I don't think the submarine goes far, but it doesn't need to. There are toilets before you leave and toilets when you get back off the submarine, but none on it. They do give you time to go to them, too.

Absolutely fantastic! My little boy is 2 so was just old enough to go and he loved it, was just the right time underwater for little ones not to get bored. Saw lots of fish and the shipwreck was really interesting. Fantastic and unique morning out! The submarine safari base is centred near lots of market stalls too so lots to do whilst you wait. We booked as an excursion but tickets were around €20 cheaper to buy direct, though if you’re staying far away it may work out the same by the time you’ve paid for a taxi etc. Fantastic, would definitely recommend!

What an amazing experience, would definitely do it again! Saw a variety of fishes and was under the water for around half an hour after we left the harbour.
