Explore The Famous Antilla Shipwreck From The Comfort Of A Glass Sided Boat
Discover the underwater wonders of Aruba while remaining completely dry aboard a specialized glass sided boat designed for optimal viewing. Originally utilized for research on the Great Barrier Reef, this air conditioned vessel provides a stable and comfortable platform for guests of all ages. The hull sits five feet below the surface, offering crystal clear perspectives of the vibrant Arashi coral reef and the diverse marine life that inhabits these tropical Caribbean waters.
The primary highlight of this excursion is the Antilla Shipwreck, a massive German freighter from World War Two that rests on the ocean floor. As the largest shipwreck in the Caribbean, it serves as a fascinating historical site and a thriving artificial reef. Passengers can observe the intricate structure of the vessel and the surrounding aquatic environment through the glass panels, gaining a unique perspective on maritime history without needing to dive or snorkel.
Tours depart daily from the convenient De Palm Pier, situated between the RIU and Hilton Resort. Guests are required to check in at the Coconuts Retail Store thirty minutes prior to the scheduled departure time of either eleven thirty in the morning or one in the afternoon. The vessel is specifically engineered to ensure that passengers remain above sea level at all times, making it an accessible and educational experience for everyone.
This easy activity is perfectly suited for families, seniors, and travelers who prefer a relaxed approach to sightseeing. While the boat offers an exceptional vantage point for viewing the Antilla Shipwreck and Arashi coral reef, guests should be prepared to climb stairs to board the vessel. By choosing this comfortable maritime tour, visitors can enjoy the beauty of Aruba’s coastline and its hidden underwater treasures in a safe and climate controlled environment.

I'd describe this one as a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime experience! This was my first time in a submarine and it was absolutely mind-blowing. Seeing the deep sea up close is mesmerizing. It’s an absolute must-do for anyone visiting that want to live a different experience. It’s a bucket-list experience that I will cherish forever. Don’t miss it!
Super fun experience especially if you don’t snorkel or dive or wanna get wet. They have 2 options whether you wanna take the full submarine or the semi submarine. Also if you have problem with dizziness I would suggest taking some Dramamine there was a lady who puked. When the boat was taking us back we spotted sea turtles in the ocean
This was a neat little excursion. It’s 2 hours ( 1 hour of travel time to and from the sub on a ferry, and around 1 hour on the submarine. The water seemed cloudy the day we went so visibility wasn’t as good as I hoped for. We saw several ship wrecks, a turtle, and some rays in addition to other fish. The tour guide was nice and I enjoyed his commentary.
