Glass-Bottom Boat & Snorkel Safari

Discover the wonderland of marine life that lies beneath the surface of Port Vila Bay by cruising on a glass-bottom boat and then snorkeling at a sheltered reef nearby.

Depart right from the pier in a glass-bottom boat and begin your leisurely cruise around Port Vila Bay. Designed specifically for maximum viewing of the sea life below, the boat features large, clear panels on the bottom and comfortable seating throughout. Of course, there's no telling exactly what you will see, but the highly knowledgeable boat captain will cruise over the spots most likely to be teeming with marine life.

You may see larger creatures such as green sea turtles, hawksbill turtles and spotted eagle rays, which often swim near the surface of the water, even breaching it at times. All sorts of tropical fish also populate the reefs, including brightly colored clown fish, odd-looking little dragon fish, and humpback grouper, a beautiful polka-dotted species that's highly endangered.

Later, you'll have a chance for an even closer look at the marine life by snorkeling along a reef near beautiful Iririki Island. Afterwards, you'll cruise back to the pier.
