We joined the boat tour with our two children (8 and 11), and they had a great time swimming and watching the underwater scenery through the glass. The staff were really attentive and made us feel welcome. It was a full day but didn’t feel tiring at all. Lovely way to explore the coast.

We loved the route and the calm pace of the day. The water was perfect for swimming, and the views from the upper deck were incredible. Seeing the ruins underwater through the glass bottom was something we hadn’t done before—it felt like a little hidden gem of a tour.

This was a lovely day out on the water. The boat was spacious and clean, and the glass bottom made it easy to see the underwater ruins, which were fascinating. We enjoyed all the swimming stops, especially Aquarium Bay—it really does look like an aquarium! The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that the drive to the port felt a bit long, but overall it was totally worth it.

We did this trip with our two kids (ages 7 and 10), and it was a really enjoyable experience. The boat was safe and comfortable, and the glass-bottom feature kept the kids entertained. The water was super clear at every swimming stop. The lunch was okay, not amazing, but it did the job. A solid, relaxing day out for families.

The tour was well-organized, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. I liked the peaceful pace of the day and the fact that the boat wasn’t overcrowded. The ruins of the sunken city were interesting, but I would’ve liked a bit more in-depth explanation. Still, the views from the boat and the swim breaks made it a great outing.

We had a great time overall. The swimming spots were amazing, and we appreciated the relaxed vibe throughout the day. The boat was modern and spacious, and the glass bottom added a cool twist. The guide was friendly but didn’t share as much info as we hoped. That aside, it was a beautiful and fun trip along a unique coastline.
