Submarine adventure in Puerto de Mogán, Gran Canaria
Description
What makes this activity special? A truly unique experience in Europe. The Golden Shark is one of the few tourist submarines operating in Europe and offers the opportunity for real underwater diving as a passenger, without the need for scuba diving. From Puerto de Mogán you can discover an underwater landscape that is normally only available to divers, including “La Atlántida”, our artificial reef project created to favor the regeneration of the seabed, as well as the wrecks and other elements that are part of the route. More than a simple excursion, it is an opportunity to discover the ocean from within a real submarine and get to know a project that combines tourism, exploration and conservation of the marine environment. A different experience to share with family, couples or friends and discover one of the lesser known faces of Gran Canaria: its underwater world.

Yellow Submarine Experience Absolutely fantastic experience! 🚢🐠 The kids absolutely loved it, especially getting to see all the fish up close from the yellow submarine. Seeing the underwater wildlife and the ships that have sunk was fascinating and made the trip really memorable. A brilliant experience for the whole family, and the kids haven't stopped talking about it! 🐟💙 Would definitely recommend it and would happily do it again!
Unfortunately, I have to give one star. No one here deserves it. The only one who was at the meeting point for pickup. Was me, the bus did not come. I missed out on an experience I had been looking forward to.

The experience of being in a submarine is certainly there, however you do not see any fish that are not present on the surface in the canals of Mogan. Too expensive for the experience.
Merci d’avoir partagé votre avis. Nous sommes heureux de savoir que vous avez apprécié l’expérience de voyager à bord d’un sous-marin. Nous souhaitons toutefois préciser que la flore et la faune marines que l’on peut observer à environ 20 mètres de profondeur sont très différentes de celles que l’on peut voir dans les canaux de Mogán, qui ont une profondeur d’environ 2 mètres. Le parcours permet ainsi de découvrir les fonds marins et leur environnement à une profondeur qui ne peut pas être observée depuis la surface.
Upon arrival, nice reception by a Dutch-speaking staff member. Due to the crowds, an extra "dive" was planned, which was convenient because we had not booked in advance.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the welcome and that the additional dive allowed you to take part in the activity despite not having booked in advance.
Great experience my son love it great family time
Thanks!
A different and highly recommended experience; we had already done the boat trip before and this was different, it leaves you wanting more.
Muchas gracias por su amable comentario, nuestro submarino "GOLDEN SHARK" ofrece una experiencia única en Gran Canaria.
This was a lovely little trip and something different to do, knowing that you are always not harming the ocean while enjoying it! The town is also so beautiful so definitely worth booking!
Thanks Lianne!
Absolutely loved this. They give you earphones to listen to the guide whilst exploring. I was a little apprehensive as I’m claustrophobic! But there was plenty of space (seats in sets of 2 next to each other) I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this & would highly recommend 🥰👍
hank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your submarine adventure and that even your initial apprehension due to claustrophobia quickly disappeared. We have carefully designed and equipped the submarine cabin to provide a spacious, comfortable and relaxing environment, ensuring that every passenger can enjoy a unique and unforgettable journey beneath the sea. We hope to welcome you on board again whenever you return to Gran Canaria!
Simply great, for couples and families, the submarine is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Time passes very quickly down there; the 40 min go by in a flash because it is so entertaining.
¡Nos encanta que nuestra experiencia haya sido tan satisfactoria!
★★★★☆ We took our family on the Submarine Adventure in Gran Canaria and overall had a good time. It was a nice experience for the children to see fish and other marine life underwater without having to scuba dive, and my family really enjoyed it. That said, I found it a little underwhelming. There wasn’t a huge amount of sea life to see during our trip, and much of the route focused on artificial attractions such as concrete shipwrecks, anchors and even a whale skeleton that had been placed on the seabed to make the experience more interesting. While I understand why they’re there, they didn’t really add much for me. The submarine provides headphones with commentary available in multiple languages, which is useful, but the whole presentation feels quite dated now and could definitely benefit from a modern refresh. I’m a keen scuba diver and had also been diving in Gran Canaria during this holiday, so I was hoping to show my family some of the amazing marine life I’d seen myself. Unfortunately, we didn’t see anything close to that on the submarine trip. This was our fifth submarine excursion across the Canary Islands, and I’d say this was the most disappointing of the ones we’ve done. Even so, it wasn’t bad by any means—just fairly average. If you’ve never experienced a submarine before, it’s still worth trying, especially for families with children.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad your family enjoyed the experience aboard the Golden Shark. We would just like to mention that the shipwrecks along our route are real vessels and are not part of the artificial reef. La Atlántida underwater park was created using specially designed structures as part of a project to support the regeneration of the seabed and provide habitat for marine life. As this is a completely natural marine environment, the variety and amount of sea life can vary considerably from one dive to another. We appreciate your comments regarding the onboard presentation and will certainly take them into consideration. Thank you again for visiting us and for recognising that travelling aboard a real submarine remains a unique experience, particularly for families discovering the underwater world together.
