Highly recommended for families with small children. - We did the tour with our 4-year-old child. There is a life jacket for the child. First we were on deck, then shortly before St Anne we went down to look at the fish. We saw lots of fish, including baby sharks, pipefish, parrotfish... corals that are slowly regaining their color and sea cucumbers. Our child had a lot of fun. During the trip you get some explanations about the underwater world. On the way back you could choose whether you wanted to be on deck or stay "under water". It was a very nice experience with a nice guide. The tour lasted an hour in total (there is no exit on St Anne). This tour is great for children who can't snorkel yet.

Clown Car fun with a wonderful secret - Lets be honest the yoke looks a bit silly, but they lean into it and do the we're not just another glass bottom boat shtick very well. When you first go down and they close the hatch it is a bit of fun and you really do get the sense you're on a mini (and do mean small!) submarine. It was well run and good fun and worth every penny.

5 stars experience, professional crew. - One of the best experiences in Seychelles. I honestly cannot explain how great it was. Instructor and driver were highly professional. Entire trip will last 1.5 hours, so you won’t lose all your day. Enjoy!!!

Seeing a baby shark - We had the opportunity to spot a small shark.it was amazing. The day before this trip we were talking about how lovely it would be to see a shark.

Great, short, out of the ordinary family experience - This is a great activity to take as a family. Our four year old loved the entire experience. Sitting outside for the first 20 minutes or so on a beautiful day there is plenty to see after departing from Eden Island. Then the exciting part begins - descending into the "submarine" where you see the remnants of a reef and a decent amount of fish. There is enough to make this a memorable experience for all. We combined this trip with a visit to nearby Victoria so it made for a very nice day overall. Be aware that, after crossing the bridge onto Eden Island you will quickly turn left and then park your car in the parking area underneath the departure point. While you do have to pay for parking it is very convenient and easy to access. The guide and entire staff of the Semi-Sub were very professional and pleasant which mad for a very enjoyable time with our daughter. This is good value for a nice family experience.

Great underwater activity for families - We went out on a morning trip with Ramona and crew the 7th of August, and we had a wonderful time. For us, it was the perfect way to have an underwater experience together as a family (two adults and a young toddler). We saw many and different types of fish, which Ramona was keen on identifying. We were also lucky to see a green sea turtle. I would highly recommend this activity. Bonus info, the coffee we had in the cafe before boarding the semi-sub, was the best coffee we had on the Seychelles.

Great tour if you aren't doing underwater activities on the trip - I'm not doing any snorkeling or diving on this trip, but this tour makes it possible for me to go under the water and see corals and fish. It feels like being in an aquarium, the glass isn't super clear, but we get close to the fish and it's truly amazing. But I'm staying in Beau Vallon, had to take the bus to Victoria (bus terminal) and had to wait for an hour to get on the bus going pass Eden Island (the name of the bus stop is Eden Bridge), so the commute takes a LONG time if you use public transportation because they don't provide hotel pickup/dropoff. The tour is also short, we probably spent only 15 minutes under the water, and 10 minutes going to the Ocean, so the entire tour felt short. But the staff are very nice. Overall it's a great memorable experience.

Down in the wheat among fish on Mahe - It was a short but very lovely experience. We sat up on the boat when we went out and after some information about the surroundings we went down to look at the fish. We saw lots of fish of different colors and sizes and it felt like you were swimming in the middle of them so close they were. Quite expensive but fun experience

Unique but super pricey - We booked this experience for my mom who doesn't snorkel or scuba. She loved seeing the fish and the coral from the underwater "cabin". The 3 star rating is because the trip was SO SHORT. We aren't sure why and we certainly expected more than 15 mins of viewing for the high cost which similar in price to a full day island tour!. It would have also been nice if the guide provided a bit of background and commentary on the history of the marine park and the fish etc etc. instead of talking on the phone and to the other crew. We didn't see anything that we hadn't seen snorkeling the day before which was disappointing. This would be a good experience for those who don't swim but would like to see a natural reef with fish but be aware that it is a very short trip.

Short tour view of coral and fish - The tour itself is very short in less than an hour. But overall it was a good experience. Where you go inside the semi submarine and get to view the different types of corals and fish. Overall it was good and you don't get wet at all.
