Excursion Rangiroa glass bottom boat cruise tour at Rangiroa

Get an up-close look at French Polynesia's tropical underwater scene from a glass bottom boat on this scenic hour-long cruise. It is an easy and relaxing way to get acquainted with the coral gardens and their colourful inhabitants without having to be in the water.

Glass Bottom Boat Cruise

Leave the pier in a glass bottom boat and cruise slowly over the huge coral heads that cluster in shallow areas near the Tiputa channel. Through large windows you can observe an amazing variety of marine life, including parrot, butterfly, and surgeon fish. You may even encounter black-tipped sharks and the majestic Napoleon fish.

The Polynesian boat crew attract the fish right under the glass panels, allowing for perfect viewing and photography. The boat's overhead cover provides protection from the sun and eliminates glare, ensuring that you will take home great pictures.

Conclude this glass bottom boat cruise back at the pier.
