10. Nautilus semi-sub ride:
It’s not a submarine… It’s not a boat… it’s not a glass bottom boat… it’s a SEMI-SUB! Although this particular unique hybrid vessel is no longer in production, many Nautilus semi-subs still operate today and take thousands of guests on fun and memorable tours every year. During a Nautilus trip, guests can enjoy the view above the surface while lounging on deck, or for a more interesting perspective guests can descend a staircase and claim a window seat that looks out over the underwater world and its colorful inhabitants. Nautilus semi-subs can be found from the Pacific (Alaska,
Guam, Hawaii and
Catalina Island, California) to the Caribbean (Grand Cayman and Belize) and even Korea.
