Enjoyed

Reviewed by: Sherri, 2018/05/01

We enjoyed this trip. It is only approximately 30 minutes. We were able to see a fair amount of fish and other sea creatures including turtles. The guide was very knowledgeable. However, we seemed to ask the questions or not sure if they would have shared much. That in my opinion should be improved upon.

Worth it!

Reviewed by: Big family with kids, 2017/12/23

The whole family really enjoyed the boat ride, the hosts on the boat were excellent and we saw a lot of fish, turtles etc. they were wonderful at engaging with the kids and answering all our questions.

The customer service of the people we met at the hut left something to be desired. Aloof and not very interested in engaging. Which is fine, but they are the first people you meet when you get there—so—it made me kinda nervous, but the actual ride was fine!

Well worth the money!

Reviewed by: Mayra, 2017/12/21

The water is so clear we could see many different types of fish in the water. The captain was great at helping us spot turtles swimming on the side of the boat and would stop for us to see them. It was a lot of fun.

Loved It

Reviewed by: Linda, 2015/07/20

We had a great time on the glass bottom boat. Only regret I wish we could have stayed all day looking underwater at the coral and the fish. Great crew and knew a lot about the different fish we were seeing. My grand children loved it. Good adventure for young and old. Relaxing and beautiful.

Mark and Micah were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable! It made for a great time and they had great personalities! Great with our kids and let them help steer the boat! So fun. My only wish is that it was 1 hour or more.

Glass Bottom Boat

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/08/01

We had a great time. We were not sure what to expect. The staff was very friendly and full of information. We were able to see Manta Rays and Giant Turtles and many fish. Would recommend for 1st timers to the island. For repeat visitors, a longer boat ride would be recommended as our 30 minutes went by very quickly.
