Fun and interesting - very much worth doing! - Fantastic trip that fully lived up to expectations. Amazing views above and below water, and an excellent - and safe - spot for swimming in the clearest blue water imaginable. Kids (6 & 8) loved it, not a moment of boredom or irritation. Friendly crew made everyone welcome and relaxed, and great communication prior to the trip (which was postponed twice because of weather).

10/10 must do activity in Lindos! - Excellent views of Lindos & surrounding coasts/bays/beaches. The boat itself was spotless, as if it was brand new. The staff were attentive, but never over baring. The captain was great fun when we stopped for the swim and made the atmosphere relaxed & enjoyable for all. The swimming spot was as clear as a pool (see pics!) and you’re guaranteed to see fish in the submarine part due to them coming out for the food. 10/10 experience, thanks again!!

Amazing - The views was amazing. Great moment on the boat with a very nice team. We saw a lot of amazing views under the sea. The landscapes are really beautiful and the stop for the swimming time in a pure blue water was the perfect end of the day.

Fantastic for Children. - I cannot recommend this trip enough, by far the best boat ride I have been on in my life. My two daughters absolutely loved it, and enjoyed watching the fish from the belly of the boat. This is made even more pleasant with the air-conditioning. That is a free of course to get away from that 34° heat outside for a brief moment. A bonus to this trip, is that you get complimentary drinks on board and there is a variety of snacks and drinks as well as alcoholic beverages to purchase at more than affordable prices that are chilled in fridges on board. The swimming phase in the bay is fantastic. No you cannot touch the bottom. Lifejackets are provided for the non-confident swimmers and flights are provided if you want to kick back and relax in the water.

Great Value 2 Hour Boat Trip - We received a friendly welcome from the Skipper & 1st Mate as we boarded the Yellow Submarine Boat at St Paul’s Bay in Lindon. Stopped to feed the fish at Lions Head, amazing clear views from the glass bottomed (air conditioned) viewing area & saw lots of fish. Then it was off up the coast to Navarone Bay for a swim stop followed by a refreshing drink. It was then time to head back to St Paul’s Bay with stunnning sunset views all the way. A fantastic trip & well worth the money. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great trip on the sub - What a wonderful trip and worth every penny. My experience started via the Internet with this company. Sent lots of messages that were answered quickly and politely. Very good access to the boat and was met with a smile and a lovely welcome. Once we were on the way, a lovely Chap told us what we're going to be doing, and we could access the viewing area as and when we wanted. Some nice music while we sailed, and we had a few stops along the way to view fish and all the rocks. Went onto Naverone Bay to see the fish being fed and then further into the bay for a generous swim stop. Got a free drink, and all the staff on board were great. We then had a nice steady ride back to pallas Beach in lindos. We booked as a group of 8 and git discounted tickets but would have been just as pleased if we had paid full price, which is still very good. I would highly recommend this trip it was excellent.

Highlight of our holiday - Great family day out! Our kids (ages 9, 7 and 4) were particularly thrilled with the chance to swim (and jump) from the boat. Our 7 and 4 year olds wore the life jackets but the sea was practically flat so our 7 year old could have done without. The boat was spotlessly clean and the below deck viewing area was top notch, giving great views of lots of fish. The air conditioning, w/c and free drink kept everyone happy and the 2 hour trip was perfect for us. Thank you Hippo Submarine!

Lovely ride. - Very Friendly crew. Well organised. Lovely sights of the sea and fishes in the submarine and overhead. They also have life jackets if needed for the swim session. Drinks and snacks available to purchase and they take card payments. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves though we didn’t swim. Highly recommended.

Lovely journey for the whole family - It was a lovely boat trip and the crew was very friendly and helpful. The kids loved it, specially to watch the fish under deck. The younger one could wear a lifejacket for swimming so he felt more sure in the deep sea. We have received as well a free drink. Thank you for the nice time :-)
