The experience
A half-day eco-cruise-style excursion on a glass-bottomed boat, complete with fins, mask and snorkel, for groups of more than 25 people. Supervised by a diving instructor and a biologist guide. Explore the mangroves, lagoon and coral reef.
We offer two boats that can safely accommodate between 25 and 50 people. The first boat has a glass-bottomed hull, allowing you to enjoy unobstructed views of the rich marine life in the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin and its coral reef at all times. The second boat is available for group bookings requiring more space.
