Korcula Semisubmarine Tour: Watch Marine Life From Below

Watch the underwater world without getting wet

A 45-minute semisubmarine tour from Korcula's East Port keeps you dry while its hull descends 1.5 meters below the surface, giving you a personal viewing window into marine life. The vessel stays above sea level, so you can leave the cabin and walk the deck whenever you want to see the historical old town. Day and night tours with underwater lights are both available, and the tour suits all ages and fitness levels.

The experience

The semisubmarine departs from the East Port with an air-conditioned cabin that lets you watch fish and other marine life through your own personal window. The hull, the underwater observatory, sits 1.5 meters below the surface while the rest of the boat stays above water, so there's no risk and no claustrophobia. You're free to step outside onto the deck at any moment, which means you can shift between watching what's below and taking in the view of Korcula's historical old town whenever you want.

You can book a day tour or a night tour with underwater lights, depending on when you want to go and what kind of marine activity you're hoping to see. The whole experience runs 45 minutes, which fits easily into a morning or afternoon without eating up your whole day. Infants travel free on an adult's lap, and there are no fitness requirements. The tour is designed for everyone from young children to older adults.
