The Route & Highlights
The Adventure in Lindos & Navarone Bay begins with boarding at St. Paul’s Bay, just beneath Lindos’ iconic acropolis. The view is instantly postcard-worthy: whitewashed homes above, sapphire waters below. Once aboard, the Hippo Submarine coasts along the coastline while passengers explore both decks.
You’ll glide past Lion’s Head Cove, where fish schooling below the surface can be watched through large underwater windows. The guides scatter a little fish food here, creating a swirling aquatic show. Then it’s time to descend to the cabin—a glass-paneled underwater lounge where kids point excitedly and adults get surprisingly quiet.
After the slow cruise, the submarine anchors in the protected waters of Navarone Bay, a place famous for its movie-star past (The Guns of Navarone) and crystal-clear visibility. There’s ample time to dive, snorkel, or just float. The sea here is warm, calm, and almost too perfect to believe.
