All aboard the Hippo Submarine!
The crew was exceptionally nice and friendly. Even though there were not many people on board, they still took us on a wonderful trip around one of the bays of Rhodes. We spent the time drinking, swimming, and having a lot of fun. The view from belowe the deck was stunning.
Totally worth recommending!

Fantastic for young children! Great trip
Really great trip! We did the 4.40pm trip for 2 hours on a beautiful evening in May and couldn’t have had a better time! Highly recommend these super friendly and accommodating team and a great boat!
We boarded from the gorgeous St Paul’s bay and chose this time slot to avoid the intense heat with our 2 and 6 year old. It was perfect. We didn’t book a transfer but did a quick taxi from our hotel.
Drinks on board were good value and they had snacks too. We stopped off at different bays and the scenery was beautiful including the acropolis from below. Going into some hidden routes through the rocks we saw loads of fish and the underway windows were pretty amazing! Then at the end we stopped in a peaceful bay for swimming and fish feeding. Take a snorkel!
As it was a Saturday they had low attendance and offered to move us to a longer trip for the same cost but after explaining about the heat and our short holiday they still ran the trip for us. After some no shows we ended up having the whole boat to ourselves!
Having looked into some other glass bottom trips locally I’d say this was the better value ones as the submarine effect boat was unlike anything I’ve done before. The top sitting area was lovely too. For young children this trip was excellent.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that our late afternoon cruise was the perfect choice for your family and that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, hidden coves, marine life, and swimming stop.
It’s especially rewarding to know that our team’s flexibility and commitment to providing a great experience made a difference during your visit. We always strive to accommodate our guests whenever possible, and we're glad we could make your holiday plans work comfortably with your young children.
We’re also pleased that you enjoyed the unique submarine-style viewing experience, the value of our onboard refreshments, and the relaxing atmosphere on board. Your comments about the boat being particularly suitable for families mean a lot to us.
Thank you for choosing us and for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you and your family back for another memorable adventure in the future!
