What you'll do

Experience the underwater world without getting wet aboard the Atlantis Submarine. This real submarine descends 130 feet below the surface, revealing vibrant coral reefs, tropical fish, sponge gardens, and even shipwrecks through large viewing windows. It's an incredible experience for all ages and perfect for non-swimmers who want to see Aruba's marine life.

Why it's on the Playbook

The Atlantis Submarine is the only way to see Aruba's reefs and wrecks 130 feet down without getting wet, which makes it a great fit for non-swimmers and families with younger kids (ages 4 and up). It's air-conditioned and departs right from Oranjestad Harbor. Sit on the left side for the best shipwreck views, and book the earliest departure for the clearest water.

Pro tip
