Bahamas Adventure Glass Bottom Kayak Overview

The Caribbean waters are said to be the clearest in the world. From the surface of the ocean, you can see more than 200 feet deep. And what better way to take in all of the wonders of Caribbean Sea life than from a glass bottom kayak, skimming the water at your own pace.

The trip begins in Nassau harbor aboard the catamaran the Blue Manta. Relax to island music as we make our way out to sea. You will be entertained with tales from Nassau's history. Nassau and the waters surrounding the island have been the setting for many power struggles throughout the centuries. The island has been occupied by the British, the Spanish, and even the Americans for a short time. Meanwhile, the waters around the island were feeding grounds for pirates, including the infamous Blackbeard. The boat will be stocked with complimentary water and soda, while snacks and alcoholic beverages will be available at the cash bar.

Before long, the boat will set anchor again and the real adventure will begin as you set off in your glass bottom kayak for an incredible view of the marine life that live in the Caribbean waters. A variety of turtles swim the waters around the Bahamas. The beautiful conch sea snails live among the coral reefs along with lobsters and other crustaceans. The variety of sea life swimming through those clear waters will amaze you: magnificent eels and rays, colorful angelfish, and exotic triggerfish, just to name a few. And with you at the helm of your own kayak, you will be able to enjoy the experience at your own leisure. It will be a truly memorable experience for your vacation
