Full description
Discover the rich underwater world of Giardini Naxos, Taormina, and Isola Bella on this guided tour aboard an air-conditioned submarine. Have the chance to spot sea creatures like dolphins, barracudas, octopuses, big groupers, and stingrays. Hop aboard a comfortable, bright-red submarine in Giardini Naxos and plunge down to the seabed. Have the option to go below or head up to the above deck area. Look for moray eels and schools of juvenile barracudas as you cruise through the vast meadow of oceanic posidonia grass in Isola Bella.  Feel the romance as you pass by the Cave of Lovers and experience the Blue Grotto from below. Take a look under the waves at the Bay of Sirens and venture into the protected waters of a nature reserve.   Upon returning to your meeting point, if the weather and sea conditions allow it, there is the possibility of spotting playful dolphins which populated this stretch of sea in eastern Sicily.

David – United StatesOctober 2, 2023 – Verified booking
We had the unusual opportunity to take our journey on the sub almost as a private tour . Our tour was at the end of the day and there was a possibility of a storm . If the sub was full, it would feel somewhat tight quarters . In our case , we were able to move freely . The operator had us stand on the top deck to see the lovers grotto, the blue grotto and isola Bella . The sub backed into the cave openings . Very beautiful . We really enjoyed the tour and the “The glass Bottom” enabled us to see sea life , a wreak and other near shore sea life. A lot of fun , interesting and good value .

It was very pleasant on the boat. It was air-conditioned below deck and the whole boat was very clean. Unfortunately, we didn't see any specialties like dolphins or octopus on our trip, but the schools of fish were also nice to see :) If you don't want to or can't snorkel, it's a very good alternative to still see the underwater world.

I was worried it was going to be hot and claustrophobic inside, but it was actually quite cool. It is a bit tight if at full capacity, but at any time you can stand outside. Also it’s quite a good duration, not too short and not too long. My family and I really enjoyed it.
