Experience the mysterious beauty of Bonaire's protected undersea paradise during this one-and-a-half-hour glass-bottom boat tour. Board a 32-foot, glass-bottom boat at the pier and take a shaded seat along the transparent viewing panel. Cruise to the crystalline waters of the Bonaire National Marine Park and drift over one of the best preserved and protected reefs in the world. A naturalist narrates as you marvel at colorful tropical fish (including parrotfish, damsel fish, butterfly fish and angel fish) that move gracefully among the currents in a silent underwater ballet. Refresh with a cool beverage as you keep a keen eye out for sightings of sea turtles, and moray eels that hide out in crevices. Filled with a sense of awe and appreciation for the delicate ecosystem that is life on the coral reef, enjoy a scenic cruise back to the pier along Bonaire's breathtaking coastline.

Special Notes:

Marine life sightings, while common, are not guaranteed. For entering the boat, passengers have to go down 4 steps. Minimum age to participate is 4 years old. Maximum weight to participate is 250 pounds.
