Aghios Nikolaos Harbor. Exactly in front of the boat, you can find the ticket booth. Even if the boat hasn't returned from a tour it's easy to reach the ticket booth as it is only 100-150 meters away from the lake bridge, one of the most famous spots in Aghios Nikolaos.

Unique opportunity to see fish and marine life. Must see in Crete - Definitely recommend this. We had an 8 hour layover in Crete and this was the highlight. If we visit again we'll be back.

A fantastic semi-submarine experience – highly recommended! - We had the pleasure of taking part in a tour with the semi-submarine, and were completely thrilled! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish and the experience exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the atmosphere on board very pleasant. You immediately felt welcome and in good hands. The whole tour was very informative, and we learned a lot about the underwater world and the surrounding area. There were always interesting details and explanations that made the experience even more enriching. We would particularly like to highlight the often expressed criticism that you would not see anything from the indoor seats. We absolutely cannot confirm that! We sat inside and had an excellent view of the fascinating underwater world. The large windows offered a clear and unrestricted perspective of the fish, plants and corals. It was a real spectacle and we never missed a second of the experience. All in all, it was a completely successful and unforgettable tour. If you want to experience the beauty of the underwater world in a comfortable and exciting way, you should definitely not miss this semi-submarine ride. We would definitely book them again!

Nice hour and a half - Lovely trip. We were sat on the outward facing side, so saw fish, eels and a small octopus. Seats are benches and we were sat tightly together. Air conditioning was a bonus. Good value for money. They had toilets and a vending machine on board.

Exploring the Mirabello bay below and above water. - We had a nice time, it is a boat with two underwater sections where guests can sit and admire the many fishes and sea creatures from big glass panels. The two sections have air conditioning and are quite comfortable, as opposite to other similar tours in submarine vessels I experienced in other places, where it is very stuffy and hot. We were lucky, the boat was not too busy, we saw many schools of fishes and on the way back had a lovely tour of the bay. One hour and a half went by very quickly! I recommend it.

Best Outing in Agios Nikolaos - This is a not to be missed 90 minute adventure that is just fantastic so well organised and comfortable below the water seating with large viewing windows I do not think I have ever seen so many fish quite fantastic. The below deck accommodation is air conditioned and very cool the commentary in multiple languages is well done and interesting

Boring - Few different fish species seen, almost all grey. Not colored coral, but rocks and sand. Halfway through, everyone on board went back on deck. The view had more to offer than what could be seen underwater. Unfortunately disappointing and a bit boring.

No - You can't make that exit. Too expensive for what it is and not good at all. We are piled up like sardines and if you are on the wrong side of the boat you see nothing; Pass your way, there are many other more exciting excursions to do.
