Review of Blue Bay’s one-hour glass-bottom boat and snorkeling tour, with clear water, tropical fish, friendly guides, price advice, and practical tips.

“Nothing is perfect hence the 4 stars given. The orange umbrella and booking table were easy to find, and admin staff polite and friendly. Michel our boat driver was great. Informative, polite and humorous giving fair detail of the reef and fish. Easy snorkel which even the most inexperienced would enjoy. We were able to swim amongst smaller marine tropical fish, Michel's throwing of bits of food attracting fish. My 16 yr old daughter enjoyed the experience immensely. I am 65 and just a double knee arthroscopy 2 weeks ago and was still able to easily get on and off the boat. It was a pity to see how man's…”
