Aruba Semi-Submarine Cruise from Palm Beach
Description
Now for something completely different! This air-conditioned vessel remains above sea level at all times, while its hull - at 5 feet below the surface - provides spectacular viewing of the Arashi Coral Reef, abundant sea life, and the Antilla shipwreck. The Antilla is a famous WWII German ship and is one of the largest shipwrecks in the Caribbean.

Take Dramamine if you suffer from motion sickness. Maybe eat a snack beforehand as well for dizziness.
You are placed in a small space with a whole clod. Lots and lots of noise. While sailing you can't see anything because of the bubbles around the boat. The wrecks were nice to see but we were happy when it was over.
It sounds really cool, but ended up being underwhelming. The reef part of the tour was cool, but when we got to the ship, everyone on the left side got a great view, but the right side saw very little of it. The guide was great and very knowledgeable. The biggest issue was that by the end of the tour only about half the people remained below deck. Most started feeling seasick and had to go topside. Several of the people we talked to took medication but still started feeling sick. Definitely not for people that get motion sick.
The trip was very informative and nice. It covered the coral reef and the ship with many vies of different fish species and turtles.
Trip was fantastic... unrelated to excursion, bathroom at dock cost a dollar
The glass windows are not in good see -through condition. The air-con inside the cabin was poorly circulated which caused nausea and unpleasant feeling. The guide was great.
This was pretty cool. Hard to see the brightness of the fish colors, but you will definitely see fish.
The tour guide was entertaining and funny. Seeing the fish and shipwreck was a lot of fun. It was a really nice way to spend the afternoon. I highly recommend!
The lady who works in the store at the meeting place, they weren't customer friendly. They laugh at me behind my back and my wife didn't appreciate that. Need their manners check!
The experience overall was enjoyable. However , right now there is an overwhelming amount of plankton which makes visibility difficult. That should be disclosed prior to the excursion and we should be given a partial refund or option to cancel
