A real passenger submarine that dives well below the surface off the coast for an hour under water, air conditioned and open to children from age four or a set height.
Food, drinks and hotel pickup are not included, and the cabin feels tight for some. 4.6 from 1,270 reviews at €137 per person.
1-hour and 45 minute submarine expedition (actual time in submarine is 60-minutes)
