About this tour
Cruise above Coral Bay's inner reef lagoon gardens aboard the Nhanya-Ku, a shallow-draft glass-bottom vessel engineered for unobstructed viewing. This 60-minute tour bypasses the need to enter the water, letting you observe vibrant coral formations and resident fish species through the transparent hull whilst a skipper explains what unfolds beneath you.
Highlights
- Glass-bottom hull reveals coral gardens without getting wet
- Shallow draft vessel accesses tight reef lagoon sections
- Knowledgeable crew commentary on marine ecosystems
- Snorkelling gear included if you want to jump in
- Wheelchair accessible, prams and strollers welcome
- No fitness level requirements
What to expect
You'll board a purpose-built vessel with a transparent lower section, allowing 360-degree views into the lagoon. The boat stays over the inner reef whilst your guide narrates the coral types and fish species passing below. Expect calm, sheltered water rather than open ocean conditions. The experience is passive and comfortable—ideal if you want marine life encounters without water immersion or full snorkelling commitment. Children, elderly travellers, and anyone with mobility concerns can participate easily.
Good to know
Snorkelling equipment is on hand should you change your mind and want to enter the water mid-tour. Infants must be held by an adult; young children can use prams. The shallow draft is the key advantage—you'll access reef sections larger boats cannot reach.
