OVERVIEW

Discover the fascinating underwater world of Grand Bahama without getting wet on a unique glass-bottom boat adventure, followed by a relaxing beach and pool escape. Begin with a scenic drive from the cruise port to Flamingo Bay Marina, where you’ll board the remarkable Invisible Boat, a specially designed vessel featuring a transparent hull that offers extraordinary views of the marine environment beneath you. Cruise toward Rainbow Reef, where colorful coral formations, tropical fish, and swaying sea fans create a fascinating underwater landscape. Continue to the historic Papa Doc Wreck, a sunken shrimp boat that has become an artificial habitat for marine life. Learn about the vessel’s intriguing past while observing the coral and fish that now surround its remains. After your underwater exploration, continue to Taino Beach Resort, where soft white sand, inviting swimming pools, and a laid-back tropical atmosphere provide the perfect setting for relaxation. Spend time lounging beside the pool, floating along the lazy river, swimming, or simply soaking up the Bahamian sunshine before returning to the cruise port.
