Semi-submarine Punta cana? Looking for the best glass bottom boat in Punta Cana? Join us aboard the only semi-submarine vessel in the Dominican Republic! Perfect for families, couples, and non-swimmers, this tour takes you from your Punta Cana hotel to the crystal-clear Caribbean waters of Bayahibe to see the famous Atlantic Princess shipwreck without getting wet.
Explore the Underwater World (No Swimming Needed)
Experience the thrill of diving without ever putting on a mask. Our vessel features a spacious underwater cabin equipped with large panoramic windows. Sit back in air-conditioned comfort as you gaze out into the deep blue.
You will come face-to-face with the vibrant marine life of the Caribbean. Keep your camera ready to view colorful coral reefs, schools of sergeant major fish, parrotfish, and majestic stingrays gliding right past your window. It is the perfect way to see the ocean exactly as divers do.
Snorkeling at the Atlantic Princess Shipwreck
Unlike standard Punta Cana snorkeling tours, we take you to a true underwater landmark. We visit the Atlantic Princess shipwreck, a passenger liner that was intentionally sunk to create an artificial reef.
Today, the wreck is teeming with life.
For Swimmers: Jump in and snorkel directly above the wreck to see the fish up close.
For Non-Swimmers: Stay dry in the lower cabin and watch your friends and family snorkel from below!
Tour Program & Itinerary of Semi-submarine

Why Choose This Semi-submarine Glass Bottom Experience?
Perfect for Families & Kids This is the safest way for small children or anxious swimmers to see the reef. It is educational, fun, and completely safe for all ages.
Best Visibility in the Country We sail on the Caribbean side (Bayahibe), not the Atlantic side. The water here is significantly calmer, bluer, and clearer than the water at Punta Cana hotels, guaranteeing you the best possible views.
