Barbados offers glass-bottom boat tours to view coral reefs

Glass-bottom boat tours in Barbados offer a way to view the island’s coral reefs and marine life without entering the water. These tours allow visitors to observe parrotfish, sea turtles, angelfish, and stingrays through clear viewing panels in the boat's hull.

Operating year-round from sheltered bays along the west and south coasts, the excursions typically include a safety briefing and a cruise over the Platinum Coast. While many tours offer optional snorkeling stops, the glass-bottom viewing is designed to be an inclusive activity for all ages and swimming abilities.
