Ocean Cay Glass Bottom Boat Tour

See Ocean Cay's reef without getting wet on this glass bottom boat tour that cruises over the island's best underwater scenery. Through the clear viewing panels, you'll spot colorful fish, sea fans, and coral formations that are part of MSC's marine restoration project. A naturalist narrator explains what you're seeing and shares facts about the local marine ecosystem. The boat departs from the island's marina, which is a quick walk from the ship. Tours run multiple times daily and are wheelchair accessible, making this one of the most inclusive water activities available. The boat has a canopy for shade, and the ride is smooth in the protected waters around the island. Ideal for non-swimmers who still want an underwater experience, families with young children, seniors, and anyone with mobility limitations who can't snorkel. It's also a smart choice on days when the water is a bit choppy for snorkeling — you get the views without the waves. The narration adds real educational value beyond just floating over pretty fish.
