Full description

Submarine safari in Tenerife: a real dive on the yellow submarine

The submarine safari in Tenerife takes you below the surface in a real submarine. You sit at your own viewing window and watch the underwater world go by, with a TV screen at each port showing the depth and water temperature. The crew explains how the submarine works as you go. Marine life sightings vary on the day, but you can expect to see local fish, and sometimes stingrays.

What the trip is like

The dive lasts about one hour. It starts with a safety briefing before you board, then you take your seat, each one fitted with its own window. From there the submarine descends and you watch the marine environment from up close. Personal TV screens add information about the journey and show alternative views as you go down. It is a calm, comfortable trip rather than a high-speed one, which makes it suitable for a wide range of ages.

Departures and getting there

Departures are from Marina San Miguel, in the south of Tenerife. There are several departure times every day except Saturday. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before departure with your ticket ready. Free pick-up and drop-off is offered from points across South Tenerife, and a paid pick-up service is available from the north of the island. You choose your pick-up point during booking.

Who it is for

This is a family-friendly trip, open to all ages from 2 years old. Children under 16 need to be with an adult. If you are prone to seasickness, take your usual motion sickness precautions beforehand. If you are mainly hoping to see whales and dolphins, those sightings are less common on the submarine, so the whale and dolphin watching boat tours in Tenerife are a better fit for that.

Dropping to thirty metres was a thrill, and the view from down there takes your breath away. It is genuinely worth doing, one of those things that stays with you, and I am glad to have seen the underwater world that way.

Sep 2026

The welcome was warm, the safety briefing clear, and you feel in good hands from the first minute. The craft is clean, air-conditioned and roomier than expected, and every seat has its own screen and audio guide with facts about the depth and the fish going past.

Aug 2026

A good experience overall, though I had quietly hoped to see more. The trip and the sub are exactly as described, and you cannot expect shoals of fish to turn up on cue every time. Worth it all the same, and being from Antwerp I liked finding out the vessel once belonged to a fellow Antwerper.

Jul 2026

A great experience, and seeing the underwater world was something special. It was a bonus that the headphones offered a commentary in Hungarian.

Jun 2026

The fish really are easy to see, and the rays coming up to the divers is a sight you do not forget. It was all well organised, and the audio guide is available in Polish too.

Plenty of marine life on our dive, including big stingrays, barracuda and an angel shark. I had mentioned my husband's birthday, and one of the divers came past the window holding up a birthday sign, which made his day. We will be back next time we are on the island; five stars, though I would happily give it eight bananas.

Mar 2026

A lovely ride below the surface. We saw shipwrecks, plenty of fish and divers with giant rays circling around them. An experience I would recommend to anyone.

Feb 2026

Going down in a submarine is a curious sensation, though the ride is short and the variety of fish limited. The organisation, on the other hand, works well, and since you barely feel any movement there is no risk of getting queasy.

Jul 2024

There are two seats to every window, and the commentary comes in several languages. We saw plenty of marine life and a wreck that has been down there for decades. Be aware that the steps into the sub are steep and it is not wheelchair accessible; a bus transfer is laid on if you need one.

Perfect for getting to know marine life up close. The view from the windows is impressive. An experience not to be missed!
