Roatan Island is renowned the world
over for its lush and vivid marine life. And you'll see it all by glass-bottom
boat on this Roatan excursion.
After meeting your driver at the pier
area, you will travel approximately 30 minutes to reach your boat on Roatan's
West End. As it is situated on the second-largest reef system in the world,
Roatan's claim to fame is under the sea off its coast. During your Roatan shore
excursion, you will experience the magic and majesty of the reef from the
comfort and security of your glass-bottom boat.
The boat is 44 feet long, 12 feet
wide, is air-conditioned and accommodates 28 passengers. The viewing area can
be reached by a narrow staircase leading from the upper deck down into the hull
of the boat. Here, metal benches fold down so you can sit and watch the
underwater world go by. The windows face out, offering a much larger viewing
field than the traditional glass bottoms that only look down.
While keeping comfortable and dry, you
will be able to be face-to-face with sea fauna, untouched reef systems, eels,
sharks, and a whole host of fish species. It is an unforgettable experience
observing, photographing, and simply being one with the underwater ecosystem
like never before. Your glass bottom boat in Roatan lasts approximately 40
minutes. After the tour, you will have a few minutes to take pictures or
purchase a refreshment before you are transferred back
to the cruise pier.
