Glass Bottom Boat & West End Trip

About this adventure

See the reef from a yellow glass-bottom boat in Roatán, then spend time exploring West End. Looking through the viewing windows gives you a different perspective on coral and marine life without needing to snorkel. Fish sightings vary and turtles are never guaranteed, making every trip a little different.

The yellow glass-bottom boat offers a reef experience for guests who prefer to stay aboard. Look down through the viewing windows as the operator travels over suitable reef areas, watching for coral shapes and fish beneath you. The turtle and reef photographs show marine life, not guaranteed sightings on every departure. Afterwards, explore West End’s waterfront and shops at a comfortable pace. Weather, sea conditions and visibility determine the boat portion; departure arrangements are confirmed before booking.
