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.

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.

The idea itself is great but there was no information given throughout the journey and there were 12 passengers and it was quite cramped. I think if there were even some posters on the walls with names of the fish you could see it would of been more interesting.
