Glass Bottom Boat


If you do not snorkel or dive and still want to see the reefs of Grand Bahama Island, a glass bottom boat tour is a great option. Discovery offers two different tours, one departing from the Island Seas Resort and the other from Taino Beach, where The Ritz and Flamingo Bay properties are located. I was staying at the Flamingo Bay and departed from the marina, which was conveniently right outside of my hotel room. We were gone for about ninety minutes and went to some of the colorful coral reefs I had snorkeled on other excursions. The Captain of the boat threw some bread in the ocean so we had plenty of beautiful fish to look at such as angel fish, parrot fish and seargent majors. From there we were taken out to deeper water – over forty feet deep and there got to see big groupers, nurse sharks, chub and jack. Then off to a purposely sunken tug boat that gives divers something different to dive around or in.
