About This Activity
This experience gives travelers a simple way to enjoy marine views without swimming, diving or getting fully geared up. You board a glass-bottom boat, head into a reef-viewing zone and observe coral patches and fish movement through the clear viewing panels. It is one of the easiest add-on activities for mixed-age groups.
Visibility depends on sea state and sunlight.
