Submarine Safari Tenerife, Quick Facts
Tenerife's Only Real Submarine, Down to 30 Meters
Not a glass-bottom boat, a real tourist submarine that dives to 30 meters off the south coast, with a personal window seat for every guest. Family-friendly from age 2, hotel pickup included, and genuinely different from anything else on the island.
Below: how the dive works step by step, honest talk on whether it's worth it, prices, and everything you need before you book.
The Submarine Safari Tenerife That Actually Goes Underwater
The Only Real Submarine On The Island
The yellow submarine in Tenerife is the only proper submarine on the entire island. It is not a boat with windows under the waterline. It is a real tourist submarine. It dives down to 30 meters below the surface.
Built For Underwater Sightseeing
The submarine carries up to 44 guests. Every seat has its own large window. Every seat also has a personal screen showing depth, water temperature, and live camera angles.
Cruising The Volcanic Seabed
The submarine moves on the surface first. Then it dives. The pilot takes you along the volcanic seabed off the south coast of Tenerife. The water is clear, calm, and full of life. Most of the action happens between 15 and 30 meters depth.
Real controls, real submarine. Not a glass-bottom boat with a paint job.
Inside The Submarine, Your Own Window Seat
Step inside and it feels like a proper little submarine, because it is one. Seats run along both sides of the cabin, each next to its own round window, with a central ladder down the middle. Every seat also has a personal screen showing depth and water temperature, so you always know how far down you are.
It is comfortable, air-conditioned and works well for families, with kids welcome from age 2. Pick a seat next to your group and settle in for the dive.
A window each. Seats line both sides of the cabin, so everyone gets a view.

What You'll See Underwater
Once you dive, the show happens outside your window. A diver usually swims along with the submarine, waving and posing for photos right against the glass. Around you is the volcanic seabed, shoals of local fish, and, on a good day, a stingray gliding past.
Your Personal Window
Every guest sits right at a large round window, so you are never fighting for a view. The diver outside comes close to your glass, which is the moment most people remember and film.
Your view. A diver swimming right past your personal window.
Marine Life You May Spot
Stingrays are the crowd favourite, and the divers gently guide them towards the windows when they appear. You might also see bream, damselfish and other local species along the seabed. Wild animals, so treat any sighting as a lovely bonus.
Front-row moment. A stingray passing the glass, never guaranteed, always a treat.

Is The Submarine Tour In Tenerife Worth It? Real Talk
A Bucket List Moment. A submarine is a submarine. It is a masterpiece of engineering. A proper human invention. For many guests, going inside a real submarine is a bucket list moment. That alone makes it worth doing.
Be Honest With Your Expectations. You will not see crazy wildlife or Disney-style views down there. The marine life is real and wild. Some days are full of fish. Some days are quieter.
Perfect For First-Time Underwater Explorers. If you have never snorkeled or dived before, this is perfect. You will see the underwater world for the first time. Most people love it.
For Experienced Snorkelers And Divers. If you snorkel or dive a lot, you might find the submarine limited. You only see what passes your window. You cannot move around freely. For those guests, we usually suggest going one level up.
The Next Level: Diving With Turtles. Try diving in Tenerife where you can swim with real sea turtles. Or take the full diving course in Tenerife to learn properly. If the submarine excited you, diving is the next level. You will love it.
Go In With The Right Mindset. "I want to experience a real submarine once in my life." With that attitude, the submarine is perfect. It is a show. But a real one. Underwater. In a real submarine. With real fish.

Submarine Safari Tenerife: Everything You Need To Know
Real answers to the questions tourists ask us the most about the yellow submarine in Tenerife. From pricing and pickup to what you will actually see underwater, scroll the answers below.
Is the yellow submarine in Tenerife a real submarine?
Yes. This is a real tourist submarine, not a glass-bottom boat. It dives down to 30 meters below the surface along the volcanic seabed off the south coast of Tenerife. Every guest has their own window seat and a personal screen showing depth and water temperature.
How much does the submarine safari in Tenerife cost?
With south pickup it is 61€ per adult and 37€ per child (ages 2 to 14). With north pickup (Puerto de la Cruz area) it is 74€ per adult and 45€ per child. Hotel pickup is included in every ticket. You reserve with a small deposit and pay the rest on the day at the marina.
Where does the submarine depart from?

How deep does the submarine go and how long does it last?
The submarine dives to 30 meters. The full trip is about 1 hour, with around 50 minutes underwater. Add pickup and drop-off time if you book transport.
Will I see fish or stingrays on the submarine tour?
Often, yes, but nothing is guaranteed. The marine life is real and wild, so some dives are full of fish and stingrays while others are quieter. A diver usually swims alongside the submarine and gently guides stingrays towards the windows when they appear. Treat any sighting as a lovely bonus, not a promise.
Is the submarine suitable for children and families?
Yes, it is a great family activity. Children are welcome from age 2, and every guest, including kids, gets their own window seat. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult for the whole experience.
Do I need to swim, and will I get seasick?

How do I book and pay for the submarine tour?
