What exactly is a glass bottom boat?
Glass-bottomed boats are mostly catamarans with glass windows either in the bottom or the sides. This means that you can see everything in the water without having to dive down, which is the safest option for families with small children or for those who cannot yet dive alone. These boats are specially built to ride quietly on the water. Glass bottom boats are the perfect way to admire Cretes stunning underwater world. A glass-bottom boat also has a spacious deck with seating to enjoy the view or simply unwind.
How does a glass-bottom boat tour in Crete work?
The glass-bottom boat tours in Crete usually last between 1 and 3 hours. Together with the other guests, you go on board and your tour can already start. The tour offers you the opportunity to observe the different bays and reefs at close quarters and to marvel at the marine life in the best possible way through the glass floor. On tours lasting more than an hour, there is also a stopover in good weather conditions, where you have the opportunity to swim or sunbathe. On the 3-hour tour, there is even snorkelling equipment on board if you want to observe the marine life more closely.
Want to dive in?
A look through the glass floor is not enough for you and you would like to explore the underwater world even closer? Let yourself be carried away and dive into a breathtaking experience. A submarine will take you up to two metres below the surface. Be amazed by the variety of animals and plants that await you.
In the crystal clear waters of Crete, such a tour is more than suitable and will provide you with breathtaking insights. A magical moment awaits you.
What can you see under water?
There is a wide variety of marine life to see in Crete, from anemones and sea urchins, octopus to giant turtles.
In summary, a glass-bottomed boat will get you as close to the ocean as you can get without actually going on a dive. There is also abundant plant life. All the underwater topography is great too, including coral reefs, caves, cliffs and valleys.
