Experience the thrill of watersports in Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep), where crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life await. Dive into exciting adventures like snorkelling, scuba diving and jet skiing suitable for both swimmers and non-swimmers.
Even in case of mild water movement, we can still see marine life. Nevertheless, the clear water gives better sight of the corals and fish under the glass panel. The crew members tend to place the boat in a strategic manner that is likely to make maximum visibility.
The glass panel applied to glass bottom boats is made in such a way that it is able to sustain the conditions in the sea. It consists of reinforced and high-strength material used to view underwater. Frequent checks are provided to secure the passengers.
Glass-bottom boat tours are given in regulated areas to ensure that the environment is not affected. There is low speed of the boats and they do not come into direct contact with coral reefs. This makes sure that marine life is not subjected to the ride.
Yes, the ride is comfortable to most individuals who have mild motion sensitivity. The boat is slow and it stands on smooth waters. There should be the choice of morning slots when the sea is calm.
Definitely, because passengers do not move around in the boat at any moment. One will not have to touch the water or use swimming suits. This is a stress-free choice to travelers who do not like water.
In most instances, there are visible corals, and fish which the crew members or guides identify during the ride. They tend to provide simple information on the marine species in the region. This provides a level of education to the experience.
Yes, wearing prescription glasses is completely fine during the glass bottom boat ride. In fact, clear vision enhances the underwater viewing experience. Sunglasses can also be worn to reduce surface glare.
Since the activity involves minimal movement and no physical exertion, it is generally suitable for recovery travelers. Passengers remain seated throughout the ride. However, it’s best to consult a doctor for individual medical concerns.
If visibility is significantly reduced, operators may reschedule or delay the ride. Safety and viewing quality are prioritized during operations. In some cases, refunds or alternative slots may be offered.
Yes, the short duration makes it easy to combine with other island activities. Many travelers pair it with snorkeling, sightseeing, or leisure beach time. It fits well into half-day or full-day North Bay Island plans.
