Puerto de Mogán: Submarine Tour

Puerto de Mogán: Submarine Tour - What the 40 minutes feels like inside the submarine

4.Puerto de Mogán: Submarine Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,792 reviews · 40 min · from $45

Golden Shark submarine tour in Puerto de Mogán: see shipwrecks and marine life from 25m depth, 40 minutes, 9-language audio.

“It was a lovely experience being on a submarine for less than an hour, the dock team was lovely and helpful on board you tied to the radio guide with the headphones. I believe it should be a minimum age requirement. There were some smaller kids and they got bored quickly and in a tiny space it is hard to keep them entertained. Also such a shame not seeing many sea-animals. Unfortunately, we did not see many fishes, the seabed sadly very damaged :(. Hope this will improves. Over all I liked it a lot!”

“We were picked up in a clean air conditioned bus and transported straight to the port. Once in the bud the guides we’re friendly and spoke it all various languages to ensure everyone was included. There were alot of people experiencing sea sickness but the crew were well prepared for this and frequently checked on people who were feeling unwell. We saw lots of dolphins and my 5 year old thoroughly enjoyed her experience too! The coach was there when we got off the boat too ready to collect us and kindly waited for my daughter to use the toilets near by. Great value for money and it being 2.5…”

Lunch was reasonable for the price. The staff were friendly, and overall we were satisfied. The aloe farm was surprisingly interesting.”

Overall great experience and would do it again if we return to Gran Canaria.”
