5.00This was an amazing experience for those who are scared to snorkel. My husband and I wanted our older kids (19 & 17) to experience underwater exploring but our kids were hesitant about snorkeling, so I found the Semi-Submarine option and it was great!

5.00Quick 15 min taxi from cruise port. Excellent for those leary about snorkeling in open waters. Shipwreck and the reef are stunning. Guide on board was knowledgeable and entertaining
You can hire, great walk.

5.00The tour at the **Seaworld Explorer semisubmarine ** is an amazing experience for those who want to explore marine life without having to dive. The boat is comfortable, secure and offers a clear view of coral reefs and underwater fauna. The staff is attentive, informative and makes the ride even more fun. A light, beautiful and perfect activity for all ages. I recommend!

4.00The cruise was nice, we saw allot of fish, turtle en the Atilla. The host told us the history, about the fish etc. Interresting and funny. 👍for Palm Tours but not for you TripAdvisor. You charge $81 pp and Palm tours ( owner of the cruise) charges $49 pp. Why do you charge so much $32 pp more. I allready paid TripAdvisor adviseren because I trust I pay the right price, which is not . So my question is why this price and what are you going to do about it.

5.00This was a wonderful experience with Angie as our guide. She was very helpful with our twin grand daughters. They loved seeing the all the underwater creatures and having a feeling of being under the water. An enjoyable trip with two twelve year olds.

4.00We had a pleasant experience in the semi-submarine, the visibility was not always good, we were with our daughters a baby of 10 months and a girl of 6 years, the tour takes 1 hour and a half, what I liked the most was seeing the wreck. However to tackle it you have to go to palm beach and we are in Oranjestad, good thing we were by car, from the entrance to boarding is withdrawn, but the family experience in grandiose, I hope next time I can board the submarine, given that only children of 4 years and above can and we by being with baby could not board it
