Glass-Bottom Boat Cruise: Bahamas Reef Life Without Getting Wet

Glide over Princess Cays' living coral reef in a purpose-built glass-bottom boat and watch parrotfish, rays, and tropical corals scroll beneath your feet — no snorkel, no swimsuit required. Effortlessly spectacular.

What to expect

Aboard a purpose-designed vessel with large, angled viewing panels set into the hull, you'll drift over coral gardens alive with the iridescent blues and yellows of Caribbean reef fish. The onboard guide narrates what's passing beneath — pointing out brain coral formations, schooling sergeant majors, the occasional nurse shark resting on the sand, and if you're lucky, a cruising sea turtle. The boat moves slowly and deliberately, pausing over particularly rich sections of reef. Drinks are available on board and the gentle motion makes this suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

Good to know
