Additional Information
Navigate the picturesque Nichupte Lagoon and the Caribbean Sea aboard a unique vessel with an all-round clear glass design. This singular boat, with a fully see-through bottom, escort you on an exciting exploratory voyage in Cancun.
Begin with a short excursion around the lagoon, which is a sanctuary for various bird species and crocodiles. Following that, sail into the open sea where the water morphs into a breathtaking shade of sky blue and turquoise. Keep vigilant for tropical fish, starfish, and vibrant corals. If fortune favors you, you could even encounter some stingrays and sea turtles.
The tour is also accessible from Cozumel and Isla Mujeres if you’re based there or planning a day trip. The Cozumel trip even incorporates a brief snorkeling stint at the Lego artificial reef.

Wonderful experience - This was a great experience. Being able to see all the way to the bottom of the sea bed was quite fascinating! Saw turtles, corals etc - that was wonderful.
Highly recommend!
Had a little difficulty finding the check in counter - look for Marina Kaybal at Km 3.5 on Kukulkan Bvld.

Worth The Money - Our guide gave us a great tour with excellent education. We got to see amazing sea life such as; ray, starfish, sea turtles and more. The boat was totally glass which gave for better views. My advice is: sit on the bottom of the boat and you can definitely see more. This was worth the money. Definitely off my bucket list now!

Breath taking experience - The glass bottom boat was an amazing experience. The boat crew was interactive and the music was great. The water and the atmosphere was awesome. The best part was seeing the turtles, sting rays and all the different species of fish near the coral reefs. A must see!

Recommended for small children to adults; fun a quick trip for a lazy afternoon on your vacation. - We saw a sea turtle and a sting ray. It was a cool experience. I’ve seen these tours online before and finally was able to do it. Recommended for those who want to do a quick last, easy and relaxin excursion before leaving Cancún. (too bad we could not get in the water 😔)

Rip off - My sister and I were scammed into taking one of these trips off the coast ( Infinitely Bay Resort). First of all… there is no glass bottom, the guide was reckless, difficult to get on and off the boat and way overpriced
Skip these offers!

Worst experience! Waste of time/money ! - The glass bottom boat tour was a complete waste of time and money. Turned into a photo shoot for 2 scantily clad females for the majority of the tour. Very uncomfortable and embarrassing. Your guide Daphne was taking pictures of the two females and enjoying watching them pose. When myself and my boyfriend stated we thought we were going to see some fish and have more of a boat ride we were ignored by the tour guide Dapne and other staff. The staff basically laughed at us for not enjoying being stopped in the water not seeing any fish while she continued taking pictures of the two girls. Complete waste of time and money. Don’t take this tour. It’s ridiculous. Requested a refund and denied.

IT RAINED - It rained the entire time I was in Cancun. It was not suppose to when I booked this excursion. I would think that rain and a glass bottom boat would not be a good mix and the trip would be cancelled and I would get a refund. Not! My 91 year old Grandmother and my 72 year old Mother and slipping and falling is not an option. They said it was not raining as I watched the rain fall. They did not cancel the trip and refuse to give me a refund. Not I have to see if I can get my trip insurance involved. I've not had a problem with Viator before. Oh well, there are other ways to book excursions.

Didn’t go - I called at 11:27 am day prior to the trip to cancel! They won’t return my money or even credit me! I’m very disappointed in the customer service being I frequent this site all the time
