Our team's take · Tested June 2026

Did the Atlantis Submarine with the family and it's a nice change from another beach day. You check in downtown at the Renaissance Marina, then head into the lower cabin below the water, air-conditioned, with windows looking straight out at the fish and reef. The kids were glued to the glass the whole time. Best part: you stay completely dry, no snorkeling needed, so it's an easy win even with younger kids. Runs a few times a day too, so it's easy to slot in. Would genuinely recommend for families.
