We went 135 feet under the ocean and explored the coral reef and some ships... It was amazing to be in this submarine and the sea life views were simply great. I would recommend this trip to everybody. More

We absolutely loved this tour and it was worth every penny. Elton, the sub driver, was very helpful and super nice. However, when they say there are no bathrooms on board, they were not kidding, so plan accordingly for that 45 minutes you're under water. You can hardly tell the sub is diving or surfacing so for those who would... More

This tour far surpassed my expectations!! We were fortunate to sit in the bow of the sub, so had a view not only out our porthole window, but also a view out of the front of the sub. The captain, Gio, even invited some of the passengers to sit us by him to get a better view. We were kept... More

Where else can you go for a ride on a submarine? (Okay, so there are 5 other places in the Caribbean operated by this company.) We weren't sure what the experience should be like and so had no expectations. It was safe, there was no pressure to bother ears or sinuses, and there was no feeling of claustrophobia. We saw...

The underwater excursion in a submarine is incredible and worth the money! Great for kids, just don't forget your camera and make sure you know how to turn off the flash! The submarine goes as far down as 135 feet, you will visit the coral reefs as well as some old ship wrecks. It is amazing and great for those... More

I just had the most amazing experience in Aruba onboard the Atlantis Submarine. It was my girlfriend and my first trip to Aruba. It had been two years since we had a vacation so this trip had to be special, not to mention I wanted to ask my girlfriend of seven years for her hand in marriage. Not sure how... More

We had planned on diving in Aruba but wanted a less stressful excursion when on our 10 day cruise. The sub adventure sounded like a great way to see the underwater life without getting wet. What a great experience! We were able to see the Aruba marine life and a couple of underwater wrecks from the comfort of our seats!... More

I took my wife and 7 year old daughter on the Altantis Submarine in Aruba. It was a fantastic experience. My daughter is very much into anything to do with nature and marine life. Her face was a picture as we passed by Barracuda and Moray eels and plenty of other huge schools of fish. Our guide (Elbert Figaroa) was... More

We rode in a boat with around 40 other people to the submarine. We watched the sub surface from our boat, which was pretty cool. Then our boat and the sub docked to each other and a gangplank was lowered for the 'people transfer'. About half of us transferred from the boat to the sub deck, then half the people... More

Greetings SpockTheCow! Thank you for posting such a detailed and thorough description about your time aboard the Atlantis submarine! Yes, it is a shame that not all of the reefs are as vibrant as they used to be. I am glad, though, that you were able to enjoy the shipwrecks and being up close and personal with the underwater animals.... More

This was an excellent excursion for families with young children and teenagers. It wasn't too long, but long enough to see all sorts of underwater life and an awesome shipwreck. Our tour guide Angie was fabulous. We sat at the front of the submarine and we felt like we were getting our own personal tour. She also let my 2... More
