The Glass Bottom Boat Ride is one of the most popular marine activities in the Andaman Islands, especially for travelers who want to witness the beauty of the underwater world without entering the water.

In this activity, visitors board a specially designed boat equipped with a transparent glass panel at the bottom. As the boat moves slowly over coral reef areas, passengers can look through the glass panel to observe colorful coral formations, schools of tropical fish, sea anemones, and other fascinating marine creatures.

The clear waters around North Bay Island and Jolly Buoy Island offer excellent visibility, making them ideal locations for this activity. Another popular spot is Elephant Beach, which is known for its rich coral reefs and vibrant marine biodiversity.

The ride usually lasts around 15 to 30 minutes depending on the location and package. During the trip, boat operators often guide passengers by pointing out different types of corals and marine species visible beneath the boat.

The Glass Bottom Boat Ride is a perfect activity for families with children, elderly travelers, and anyone who prefers a relaxing way to experience the underwater beauty of the Andaman Sea.
